The attorney with the best combination of skills

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.

"I met Walt Williams in 2005, and ever since then I have held him in exceptionally high regard. Walt is a skilled family law practitioner, and I have turned to him for advice on several family law issues I faced in my own cases. Aside from possessing a great depth of knowledge about the law, Walt is also deeply caring, honest, and respectful, which are essential qualities in a great lawyer. Walt is easy to communicate with, easy to relate to, and a pleasure to work with. I am very comfortable referring clients to Walt because I am confident he will provide them with excellent service."
