I cannot recommend this attorney

This attorney withdrew from my case, weeks after I retained him, without the decency of waiting for me to secure a new attorney. He left me without legal representation at a crucial point in my divorce, citing untimely payments to him and further, his disagreement with my decisions as reasons for his... withdrawl. I tried to reach out to him and the principal attorney at the Engel Law Group, only to be chided in an email that these efforts were perceived as circumventing the this lawyer thus, no one at the law firm would return my calls. He also failed to protect me from preventing the same judge (in a recent dependency matter) preside in my divorce, showing his unfamiliarity with the court procedural processes, by failing to file a motion to excuse the judge before he made a ruling in my divorce. I had expected a new judge in divorce, so I could appeal dependency decisions; however this attorney failed to protect my rights, deciding to focus on his payment instead.

A decent lawyer, who I believe will improve with more experience.

My attorney recommended Walt and I retained him on faith of that recommendation alone. Unfortunately, Walt has a paternalistic style in espousing how he surmises one's case should be represented and is hesitant in getting to know a parent and the emotional trauma he or she is experiencing. Walt isn't... empathetic to the plight of parents fighting for custody in a dissolution proceeding. He simply failed to connect with me. To give Walt the benefit of the doubt... he has yet to develop a body of experience in this most sensitive of legal fields, however in time I expect that will change. Best of luck Walt!

Great lawyer, Highly recommended

Mr. Williams was refreshing from the start. Very professional, very timely in returning telephone calls and was often times available on his cell phone. Additionally, he was very knowledgeable for someone who was going through the divorce and answered every question presented. Mr. Williams was comple...te in his presentation to the courts and was respectful when answering numerous questions. I would highly recommend Mr. Williams to anyone seeking a solid, friendly, professional and knowledgeable divorce attorney.
