J Craig Williams, Esq. - A True Champion of Justice
When Mr. Williams was referred to us, we had bad experiences with 4 previously attorneys, since March, 2007. We were terrified, but a CPA that we trusted, recommended him without reservation. We were immediately impressed by his quick actions, professional quality of court documents, and knowledge of the legal system. Mr. Williams saved my family and I from being destroyed by the Receiver in our company, that refuses to get out. We are proud with Mr. Williams continued support, even after more than 2 years of fighting against our company's Receiver . I am suing my previous attorney and his previous firm, for malpractice for not being the professionals that should have looked out for our interest first, instead of their money interest. Mr. Williams is among that elite group of attorneys that can be trusted to the very end. Integrity, honesty, and commitment to justice, and fair play. You will be proud of his participation.
After firing my previous attorneys, I hired Craig Williams. Craig turned things totally around. I was very happy with the outcome. I had an 8 month litigation battle on my hand, this was my first one, and Craig was a great person / attorney to have on my team.
