Legal woes far from home

Just Criminal Law was amazing! I live outside of Wyoming and Christina's team handled my case without a missed step. JCL's office didn't miss a beat and were very kind and professional. Although, I never got to meet Christina, my attorney Joshua Taylor took great care of me. I am so glad I hired Christina L Williams and Just Criminal Law to deal with my legal woes and can now move on with my life.

prompt and helpful

Working with these folks was a pleasure. I was reassured right away that things would turn out ok. I was asked what my desired outcome would be, and when all was said and done, that's what came about. All hearings and paper work were taken care of on my behalf. I received unsupervised probation and am underway to getting my case deferred. The cost turned out to be less than half what I would have spent had I gone through the court process on my own. And Tony is a great guy to work with--I met a good person in the process. Thanks, CLW!

Very professional

This whole team is incredibly professional and caring. Tony is an expert at explaining the court system and potential results. The front desk ladies are very polished and adept. I had the utmost confidence in Christina. She will get the best results possible, given the circumstance. I highly recommend her when the stakes are high. According to her profile, she doesn't do a preponderance of criminal cases, but she is very skilled in representing clients in these cases. Thank you, Christina for your dedication to your clients!

Amazing lawyer

Christina was beyond amazing. She saw the case for what it was as and made it all right. I love law enforcement and I believe she does too, but she also understands over reach and unfair policy. She is truly a social justice warrior and I would trust her with anything.

Friendly experienced staff

Christina's team goes above and beyond to fight for their clients. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. Tony and Lisa were fantastic to work with and really knew what they were talking about.

Excellent Lawyer

When I went into Christina L. Williams office I was very pleased on how they were very professional but respectful of my case and myself as well. They were helpful on many levels and walked me through it all, no questions asked. When I did have questions, if they didn't know it they would find out right away. Everyone that I met in her building was very welcoming and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend anyone to go to them. Great lawyers that know what they are doing.

Excellent and professional

I would highly recommend Christina L. Williams and her staff to anyone needing legal help. She and her staff clearly explained what they could and could not do for me. As my defense team they kept me well informed and aggressively worked for on my behalf. They had my best interest in mind in working with the courts and helped me get through this experience by getting me the best possible outcome.

Highly Disappointed

I have worked in the legal field for a long time in a different state and cannot express how awful this experience was. I researched and thought I had picked the right attorney for my brother-in-law. I did not, it was awful and just kept getting worse. This firm does not work around the client, the client works around them. Attorney Williams was not very friendly, very short in her answers and literally talked down to us. The truth was not always presented and I feel like they did nothing but the basics. The outcome of the case was pay the ticket, no deal or plea and a hefty price tag for just paying the ticket you were given. They did give a partial refund but only because I fought them and had to call the Clerk of Court to get answers. You cannot always believe what you read. I hope others do not have to experience what we did. One star is a lot for this review, sad but true!

Poor ethics

I hired ger and gave her 2500 to represent me and sge asked for another 10.000 i brought in another five with the option to pay another 5000 in 60 days she did nothing on my case and sebt my 5000 back but kept the 2500 that she claimes was for phone calls verry dissapointed!

Posted by anonymous | August 3, 2017

Poor misrepresentation

After paying Ms. Williams a fee of $1,000.00 I do not feel I was represented at all. Instead of taking my case to court, her suggestion was to pay the fine and she kept the $1,000.00. Regardless, if the prosecutor was new and they didn't know her refusal to plea. They should have checked this out BEFORE charging me the fee and once they did find this out, they should have refunded at least half of the $1,000.00.
