Posted by Shelley | April 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Fantastic attorney, fantastic team!

Walt represented me for my divorce proceedings from 11/2015-3/2017. Before hiring an attorney for what I knew would be a very contentious process, I interviewed several over a period of 4-5 years. I ultimately chose Walt because he was the only one who I felt had truly listened to me and understood w...hat I needed from an attorney. The process was long, I had never been through something like this and the whole thing was confusing...it included protection orders, family services investigations and other sensitive matters. Going through all of that was very stressful. Walt was right there to answer questions, was accessible and sensitive to my feelings but also blunt when it was necessary. The divorce went to trial, Walt was extremely prepared, focused and truly immersed himself in my case. I never felt as if his mind was elsewhere. The outcome was very favorable and I feel that is due to Walt's preparation and focus. On a side note, Walt's paralegal Suzette was amazing! She really helped me to stay grounded and trust my gut whenever I questioned myself during this process. Whenever I got seemingly bad news she would anticipate my phone call, remind me of the reasons I was doing this and generally helped me feel better through the process. I have already recommended Walt to others who are looking for a family law attorney and will continue to recommend him as long as he is practicing law.

Mr Williams takes the slimy out of the reputation of lawyers, he defines integrity and caring.

A professional who never gives up to help you! He does all the work himself and knows every detail of the case, His staff members are very responsive as well to connect and update you, He charged almost half of the hourly rate of our last lawyer. In over a year, he has not disappointed us and has con...tinued to get us help and protect us from injustice.

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."
