About David
Biography
I specialize in civil trial, including personal injury and business disputes, family law (such as divorces, custody, child support, or adoptions), and criminal law. I have successfully handled a variety of misdemeanor and felony charges in state and federal court, including in Hidalgo County and the surrounding areas. I have been licensed in Texas doing trial and appellate work since 1987, when I graduated from Vanderbilt Law School. And I served as a family court judge for the 310th Judicial District Court in Harris County, Texas (Houston). Before law school, I majored in Economics at college and at graduate school.

The only lawyer you need to know.
Two years ago, when I was accused of serious criminal offenses, I hired my first lawyer. After a year long trial, the judge ruled against me.

David K. Williams's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known David for 25 years or more. He is one of the most detail oriented thinkers I have ever known. He is agressive and well spoken. He and I have worked together on a number of matters.
