Criminal Defense 30%

I always wanted to practice criminal law. It's the reason I went to law school and the reason I have devoted my entire practice solely to criminal law. It is my passion and my goal to do the best job for my client. I realize that when a citizen is accused of a crime, it is quite possibly the most frightening experience of their life. I want to diffuse that as much as possible by providing my clients a lawyer who will stand by their side and look out for them every step of the way.

Luke Williams is an outstanding attorney with an excellent grasp of the law and our court systems. He is very compassionate man with a good sense of humane nature. We are grateful to him for the outcome of our case. We know he was sent to us by God.

Best Choice For a Defense Lawyer

Interviewed several attorney before deciding to hire Luke Williams. This was the best decision I ever made! Luke was kind, responsive, and courteous through the entire process. He returned my calls and I always knew that he cared about my best interest. In the end, he got me a fantastic result on... my case. I am forever grateful to Luke and his team of attorneys.

Complete Faith

Barnett, Howard and Williams came highly recommended and believe me, they did not disappoint. One never really can foresee the outcome of any particular court case, but I can sincerely testify that Luke Williams gave over 100% to my son's issue. Our outcome was completely positive and in our favor a...nd I give credit, first to God, and then to Luke for allowing himself to be the vessel that carried us through this "less than happy occasion." I have never spoken with an attorney that was as compassionate, gracious and kind as Luke. From my experience, I would say that all of the attorneys at this firm operate the same way....with heart and dedication. I truly believe that our case could easily have had a very different resolution had someone else taken the case. In this day and age, it is very rare to receive such quality service. They are very humble attorneys and what I mean by that is that they made themselves accessible ALWAYS, returned calls promptly, assured us that they would help in whatever way they could...THEN...they followed through in a very timely manner. What a refreshing group of attorneys to do business with! I would and will refer them to anyone who is in need of legal services. May God continue to bless these men and their efforts
