The Best
Mark and his team are super excellent family attorneys. They handled my divorce case with great professionalism and personal attention. When my case, which in my opinion could have been an easy uncontested property only divorce, turned into a protracted difficult challenge due to my ex and opposing counsel's crazy lawyering, Mark expertly protected and guided me through the whole ordeal and brought the case successfully to the finish line. I highly recommend him.

Child Custody
A year ago our family went thought an emotional and physically draining child custody case. We were blessed to have Mark recommend to us. Mark and his team work with us thought the court hearings, visitation, and always kept us up to date on the facts. He understood the pain and concern we were going thought. He or his team was always there to answer our question or concerns. We now have custody of our three happy, loving and caring kids. Thank you, Mark

"I endorse this lawyer. I have drawn several cases as opposing counsel to Mark over the last few years and have found him to be both an excellent advocate for his client and a man of integrity."
Family Attorney | May 22
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I had a case against Mr. Williamson in 2011 and in all my dealings with Mark I found him to be an extremely intelligent, tough, and well prepared attorney that definitely knew his stuff. I'll always remember that despite the years of experience he had on me, he treated me with respect throughout the process. Although tough in the courtroom, his demeanor with fellow lawyers behind the scenes was exactly how it should be. Mark knew when to be diplomatic and also when to flex his legal muscles. I learned a lot going up against Mr. Williamson, and even modeled some of my own practice methods after his. In addition, his office staff was always unbelievably courteous and helpful, even though we were adversaries. I highly recommend Mark Williamson to anyone seeking a family law attorney, and to be honest I'd probably choose him if I ever needed a family attorney myself."
Family Attorney | Apr 16
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I've tried a case against Mark and found him to be a tenacious (distressingly so, for me as opposing counsel) and skilled advocate for his client. Anyone looking for an attorney to represent them in a family law matter would do well to have Mark in their corner."
