Richard D. Williams

Since I gave some fairly confusing directives on the phone rather than driving in to the office, I expected a few mistakes in the first draft. But all my dealings with Mr. Williams and his secretary have been quite pleasant in difficult circumstances. His fees were more than reasonable. I was very... satisfied with everything.

Mr. Williams was hired to write a will, a physician directive, medical and durable power of attorney. The first draft was completed 10 days after the deadline. I was asked to come to office and sign it. When I requested the drafts be emailed to me for review, I was met with reluctance on the part of ...the secretary. After 3 days, I received the drafts. There were numerous grammar and punctuation errors. In addition, the language was poorly constructed. An example: I asked to have a clause included that would direct a physician to withhold intravenous or other methods of nutrient delivery if I was in a non-recoverable state. The language in the document was as follows: "after 14 days food is to be discontinued." There were other examples of poorly constructed sentences. I informed Mr. William's secretary that I would be terminating my association with Mr. Williams, and had hired another attorney.
