Criminal / family case

I was in a very bad situation back in 2018 and I didn't know what to do. Luckily, I was referred to Garcia Legal Group and met Mr. Williams. He helped me with my case and sped up the court process. Any questions I had, Machell was sure to answer EVERYTHING. I knew I was in good hands when the court... came into our favor and then some!! I can not express with words how grateful I am, my life is back to normal now and I'm so thankful for all this firm has done for my family and I.

Criminal Case review

What can I say if it wouldn’t be for Attorney Machell Williams, I wouldn’t had the chance to see my daughter again after having a restraining order against me. He definitely helped me out through the whole process keeping me updated and going through the case with me something that most attorneys don...’t do now in days. Now thanks to him and his service I have the chance to spend more time with my daughter without a restraining order. I totally recommend him such a Great and affordable Attorney.

Awesome!

I have hired Attorney Machell Willams for 2 separate matters, a family case and a personal injury case. He was very knowledgeable. He and his office went out of their way to assist me with my divorce and even answered the other random legal questions that I have had. He completed the case in the ti...me that he promised and for less than originally thought. I fully recommend him and his office for any legal matters that you may have.

Waste

Wish I could give zero stars. Hired him to represent me on a felony 3 case. $3000. Did nothing. Hole in the wall office that looked like sht. Doesn't pay attention. Can't negotiate with prosecutor. Was only ever offered 3 years in prison with him. Fired him and hired a competent lawyer. First ...offer with her was probation. First court hearing I went to with her was supposed to be an admonishment hearing with him because all he ever did was stall. Got there with my new attorney and prosecutor said she only wanted to do that because she did not like how he kept stalling. Got a better offer of probation when all he could ever get was 3 years in prison for me. Attorney said it was solely because the prosecutor did not like dealing with him and how he conducted his work. I said thats fkked up but apparently that's how it is. Prosecutor doesn't like your attorney then they will fkk you because they can. He also signed my name for me on pass slips which I thought was ok but turns out that is unethical. My attorney received the "work" he had done while on my case when she became my attorney and said he essentially did absolutely nothing. Just took my money. I hope this review helps deter others. If you are in a situation where you need criminal defense, do whatever it takes to hire competent defense. DO NOT jus hire ANY lawyer.

Mr. Eads, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Each and every review, both positive and negative helps the firm and myself to learn how to better serve clients. I am sorry that you had a negative experience with the firm. I am also sorry that that you weren’t able to give us the needed time to get you your desired outcome on the case. As you know, cases such as yours are difficult and it takes time and understanding to achieve acceptable results. As you know, our firm was the fourth attorney that you retained or that was assigned on the case. I feel that both the firm and myself went above and beyond to try and achieve an outcome that you would feel comfortable with. Like all my clients, I gave you options on how we could proceed, along with possible outcomes of each decision. I followed your decision on how you wanted your case to proceed, while giving you guidance. As you know, prosecutors have a wide range of discretion on the outcome of the case. Sometimes they allow personal feelings to influence their use of this discretion. That is something that no defense attorney has control over. That being said, I wish you and your current attorney the best of luck with your case in process.

Cost effective and Professional

Had the pleasure of working with Mr. Williams and he was professional and curteous. Paid attention to the details and was able to get us what we wanted at a reasonable rate. He is always available, organized and very informed. It was a blessing my family and I came across his credentials. If you find... yourself in a legal this is the attorney that you want.
