Awesome Lawyer!

I not only would but have recommended this lawyer. She took the time to actually explain all the legal speak in a way that made sense to me so that I understood what was happening. She was confident she could get the case resolved with the least possible impact to my time and my wallet and came thr...ough admirably. Regardless she still ran down the best and worst case scenarios and told me what to do in each case to minimize impact to me. She reset court dates to minimize work missed, and worked with me on a payment plan. She is honest, professional, courteous, and has a great attitude. If you need a lawyer, you need to call Sylvia Williams!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
