Walter Daniel Williams

Would not use Walt Williams at this firm. My ex wife’s lawyer mopped the floor with us. He just would shrug and say “that happens sometimes”…it’s like he’s not even trying. Then he told me the bill was due at the end of the month…which was fine, I budgeted for it with my next paycheck…then he moved u...p the date and threatened to drop me if I didn’t pay it. No integrity, no cares about what you are going through….you should definitely keep looking

I wouldn't write this, but I hope that somehow my review will help others. Williams is not an attorney you want on your case because he simply doesn't care. One thing he’s really great at is billing hours so if you are looking to part ways with your hard earned dollars, he’s your guy...for everyone e...lse an honest word of advice - stay away. Summary: incompetent and will not fight for you. After almost 2 months on the case unable to comprehend simple facts while still charging huge amounts of money to review documents. He took over the case and lost motion after motion while always having an excuse why things didn’t work out. I've never received advice that I can say was solid and worth anything other than costing me money. He asked for a $5k retainer when we had an initial consultation. One week later he asked for another $20k stating that either I paid him, or he would withdraw from the case knowing very well that a pretty important court hearing was coming up. In our initial chat I stated clearly that the case was filled with drama but to get me in he figured $5k is enough just to then ask for additional $20k knowing very well that I had no time to look for another attorney. He took a case which was in great shape and lost 2 motions in a matter of weeks, destroyed the case while at the same time billing me over $13k. The saddest thing is that he always had an excuse and just did NOT give a thing of what was happening if he could bill the hours. When I say he DIDN'T CARE, I really DO Mean it. After I hired another attorney, he had the audacity to ask me for $700 retained from my original deposit claiming that he'll need to keep this amount in case there will be a need to help transition my case? No other attorney ever does that, and I have talked to at least a few. Transition...? there was the guy who after more than 7 weeks on the case had no clue what was going on. Did not bother to speak with previous counselor I had (who sadly I had to let go because I couldn't afford him). Only after I pointed out to the engagement agreement that clearly stated that the retainer is fully refundable he agreed to refund whatever was left from the $25k retainer. I would suggest not hiring this attorney.

Walt helped me through one of the toughest experiences of my lifetime and I am eternally grateful. It was a very difficult situation for all involved. I was very emotional and he always talked very straight to me and helped me stay focused. It took time and diligence as most of these situations unfor...tunately do but we prevailed. I get to watch my son grow up in a much healthier environment because of it. I never felt he overcharged me, I felt his pricing was very fair and he tried to keep my costs down. He is a very caring lawyer. I have recommended Walt many times and will continue to.

Ill prepared seemed clueless about my case despite it all being given all the paperwork and detail even charged me to obtain copy's of a parenting plan he was given at our first meeting and even went to make copy's of.. So i payed $3000 for him to basically do less then I could have accomplished on m...y own. I felt I was a low priority and someone he could placate to get easy money.

I saw Mr. Williams twice in a legal clinic that he so graciously volunteered in to consult with him about getting a temporary family order after a near 5-year marriage involving DVPO, financial exploitation, and my husband's elaborate scheme to fake unemployment to reduce and avoid support payments, ...taxes, and other debts while enjoying a very high paying career. I came out of this marriage with my life savings and everything drained out of me and was left destitute with 2 young children with no family in this country. I've talked to 5-6 attorneys all telling me it's rather hopeless to expect any level of financial recovery or transitional support despite years of terrible financial abuse by my husband in my "short term marriage" of near 5 years (instead of 10+ years that's often required for spousal maintenance support to be considered). Mr. Williams was the only attorney who had a positive attitude and gave me hope, confidence, and the know-how to file a motion for temporary spousal maintenance pro se. His valuable insights, excellent communication skills, detail-oriented nature, friendliness, solid experience and expertise made him an outstanding attorney that I would recommend to anyone, especially if you have been interviewing many attorneys and still searching for someone with the right combination of skills that make for an effective and successful attorney. Against all odds, because of Mr. Williams, I achieved very positive results in what all other attorneys (including attorneys with over 20, 30 years of experience) have thought to be a hopeless case. It was outstanding enough that 2 attorneys came up to me after my hearing just to tell me how very well I'd done especially doing it pro se. I give all my thanks to Mr. Williams valuable guidance and encouragement as he has made a meaningful difference that helped me and my 2 young children in our transitioning in such a difficult time. I consider Mr. Williams a valuable asset not only to his clients, his law firm, but to the community that he so kindly gives back to.
