Lack of integrity

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 wouldnt hire him again

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.

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.

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.

Divorce Client

I hired Walt for my divorce case in 2013. He was a great lawyer to have on my side. He was very logical and stayed extremely fair throughout the entire process. He told me when he felt I had a case and was honest with me when he felt there wasn't any leg to stand on. Unfortunately my ex had a lawyer ...who would come after everything and anything. We eventually lost out to her tenacity. If you have an ex who isn't petty and you want a realistic lawyer who knows his stuff and won't over charge you for things, Walt is your guy. If you need to go to war with your ex and they are like a bloodhound, I would recommend you look somewhere else.
