A Very Good Family Law Attorney

Georgia Lee Williams's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Georgia is an outstanding hard worker, dedicated to her clients. She will work towards a reasonable settlement however is the opposing party is unwilling to be reasonable she will press the matter with the court to secure her client the proper outcome."
"I had an excellent experience with Ms. Williams who was a settlement conference judge in a divorce case in which I was representing one of the parties. The other party was representing herself. Ms. Williams did an excellent job in settling this case given that the two parties were so far apart at the beginning of the settlement conference. She was patient with the wife who was representing herself, while being firm with her when she refused to accept what the law was. I was impressed with her knowledge of the law and her ability to convey it to the unrepresented party, as well as her kind and courteous manner with my client. I would recommend Ms. Williams either for a family law matter or as a mediator in a family law case. Her hard work saved my client the cost of a trial and brought closure for these two people."
"I endorse this lawyer. Georgia is smart, efficient, and tough. She is dedicated to her clients and is not afraid to litigate. The best attorneys, however, are the ones who understand that a settled case is usually the best path for a litigant. Mr. Williams was instrumental in settling a sensitive case. We arrived at a reasonable settlement which was in both our client's best interest. I have a lot of respect Ms. William's professionalism."
