"I was involved in a highly contentious child custody case in which I had previously retained two highly recommended child custody attorneys. My custody case had been lingering for years with no real resolution or closure. The attorney I had retained prior to Mrs. Williams had to recuse himself from the case due to a legal issues pertaining to the other party. I was slightly nervous about the search for a new attorney due to the time and money I had tied into my previous attorney. In dealing with the previous attorneys there was a feeling as if information you were feeding them was going in one ear and out the other. It turned out to be a huge blessing. I cannot say enough about Mrs. Williams and her staff. She and her team take a vested interest in each and every case, I know this as I have recommended others and the consensus is unanimous. Mrs Williams did everything in her power and professional ability to derive an amicable resolution to my case, however; when there was no other option she set a trial date. She and her team were extremely professional in there preparation. She has an amazing ability to compile a mosaic of the case so when you enter the courtroom the case flows without missing a beat. Mrs Williams remembered for detail every important aspect as if it were the only case she had. I remember calling her office a few days prior to trial with a question and being told that she would have to call me back later as she and her staff were conducting a mock trial for my case. I felt comfort as I knew and completely entrusted that come trial time she would be completely prepared. They welcome you in their office like family. You have a felling of complete comfort working with them. When your attorney is prepared and able to translate all the important fact and details to the judge the results turn out to be what is best for all parties involved. There is no attorney out there better than Mrs Williams and her staff as through my case I can say that I have had the ability to see most of the more commonly recommended, as my ex-wife went through her fair share, and after analyzing each of them I can assure you are not going to get the personal touch or professionalism you will receive from Mrs Williams and her staff." -Jason

Not only are they well versed on the law and will aggressively advocate for you, but they will treat you with respect and fully explain the process to you." -Kristen

"I needed Angela’s services for a contested divorce and custody case. I never for a moment doubted that Angela was giving me advice that she herself would take, if she were in my shoes. It gave me great comfort to know that I had her fighting for me and my children. I can’t recommend her or her staff enough! 10 stars!" -Julie
