Very caring & knowledgable in Elder Abuse issues

I can't begin to tell the details of how Ms. Williams helped my family after my elderly father became the victim of Elder Abuse in Nevada. All of my family lives out of state and we experienced abuse from 2 other law firms that wasted money & time on unfulfillable promises before we found Ms. William...s. Ms. Williams helped to protect my father and ultimately saved his reputation and estate even after his death. She is worth the wait. Even if you don't hear from her, don't think she's not working on your case. Thank you.

Employment

Mrs. Williams fought to help me keep my job and be treated fairly. She accompanied me to my interview with the EEOC. This was a long process but she handled it well, all along keeping me informed and up to date. I got to keep my job (which is all I was fighting for) plus she got me a settlement. I... always felt she genuinely cared about my situation. I'm glad I had her fighting for my rights, it made things much easier to endure.

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.
