This is who you call when you need direction or advice!

Mr. Williams returned my call in immediately! He was patient with me and allowed me to explain while at the same time providing feedback on specifics for legal implications. Offered preemptive expectations and how to handle those, and for that we are extremely grateful!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

He answered my call after 10:00p.m

Yes! I was making calls late night to attorney offices. I was very frustrated about how my court case was handled and was seeking guidance from an attorney on how to handle my issue on the next business day. I called Attorney Williams really thinking I would leave a voice message to get a return call... back, he answered. He patiently listened to all my concerns and details. Attorney Williams was so helpful and nice in his delivery, I will be referring people to him if need be.

Great knowledge lawyer

He represented me for a case that faced a lot of unique challenges. He continued to fight and he eventually got the charges to be dismissed.

A lawyer that communicates...????... Strange

I have hired plenty of attorneys the last couple of years and they always seem helpful and and eager right up to the point they process your retainer. Andrew Williams has perfect communication through the entire process. Even after the case was dismissed. If you want a good attorney that doesn't leav...e you in the dark this is where you stop looking.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
