Won’t answer for months, he will not work for you, would put negative stars if possible

I shouldn’t have gotten a breathalyzer, it wasn’t required by the judge as a bond condition because I blew below the required limit to install a breathalyzer in my car. At the very least I should get time served for wrongfully having to have a breathalyzer or at least be explained why I have it. I ex...plained this to Paul he said he’d look into it. I never got a answer as to why I needed to install a breathalyzer in my car . Instead he gave me a offer no timed served for the year and a half of the breathalyzer first offense before getting a crappy offer. I declined the offer asked to get timed served he hasn’t answered in two months and I call several times a day. I’m not going to serve a felony sentence for a misdemeanor b. If he treats you this way call the Texas board of grievances on attorneys that’s what I’m doing next time he doesn’t answer

Above and beyond

I am concerned that Mr. Williams is receiving bad reviews. I want to write a fair one. Mr. Williams represented me when I had a legal issue. He was very competent and caring. He was available for an appointment or if I needed to talk on the phone. He even gives his clients his cell phone number so... they can reach him if they have a question or concern. How many lawyers will do that? I received a positive outcome largely due to Mr. Williams excellent representation. I would not hesitate one minute to recommend him.

Pay your fee and never hear from him again.

I hired Mr. Williams for a simple child support modification order because of my recent disability. Mr. Williams had me drive 8 hours round trip and spent more time with me using me as a witness for another person’s will, then listening to my case. I have called and left numerous messages over the p...ast few months with absolutely no response back. Just the "I will have him call you" routine. I believe I have a court date early next week and it is currently Thursday. I was also advised I had a restraining order against me for something (possibly to do with back pay) and still no call back to explain. I had to call the Judges secretary to get any information. With no phone calls, emails, or US Mail in the past few months, I had no choice but to fire Mr. Williams, and now I have no choice but to represent myself. The receptionist at the office is also extremely rude and is one of the most unprofessional people I have ever come across. I used Mr. Williams many years ago and he went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. This is very obviously not the case anymore, and I would strongly advise seeking out the expertise of another, more qualified attorney.
