Melissa Williams and her professional staff were an outstanding choice in representing me in my recent divorce. From our initial meeting to the final decree, Melissa was incredibly diligent and professional. Her team was always available for me with any questions or concerns. I never felt alone with any fear or uncertainty. Melissa supported me throughout the entire process all the way to mediation. The outcome was incredibly favorable for me and I have to give her expertise and professionalism all of the credit. I highly recommend her for her outstanding, committed efforts on my behalf.

I highly recommend Melissa and her team, she exceeded all of my expectations and more! Melissa was referred to me by a friend going through a tough divorce. After witnessing how diligent, knowledgable, thorough, and caring she was with her divorce I was extremely impressed and chose Melissa to represent me in my divorce. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!! She has the perfect balance of professionalism and compassion for her clients which I found to be one of her greatest assets. The divorce process is life changing and extremely difficult, having Melissa as my advocate who I could trust with my best interest always in mind, who listened to my wants, needs, and concerns with empathy, thoroughly explained my options and the process, and who intelligently fought for (and won) what I deserved was priceless! Knowing how difficult and foreign the divorce process was for me, her extreme professionalism always put my mind at ease. She was always several steps ahead so I was never left wondering where we were in the process or what the next steps were. In addition, the lines of communication were always open if I did have any questions, which she would promptly and thoroughly respond to. Melissas dedication and determination to achieve the most desirable outcome for her clients is unmatched. I am grateful for her professional and personal support through such a difficult time and will continue to refer who to anyone in need of a Family Law Attorney.

Lets face it- divorce is never easy! But, after losing my Dad, my sister and then hearing my husband of 25 years was leaving me for someone else and/or just to find himself...all within 6 months...I was a mess. I needed honest, straight forward advice that was in my best interest. I couldnt think clearly and was overwhelmed. But, after some time with Melissa, I got centered and ready for the next steps. She guided me kindly yet firmly. She thought of things I did not even consider. How? By being wise, understanding my needs, and positioning my case in such a way that I got all I wanted and more. During one of the darkest seasons in my life, Melissa Williams was the just the light I needed. If you need her help, she will be there. If you have questions or concerns she takes her time to be sure you are clear on the facts. If you are not thinking clearly, she has your back. And Marilyn, oh sweet calm Marilyn, will be the voice on the phone that will help any way she can. The office is amazing and I couldnt be more grateful for them both. From my experience, in the end, you will realize that Melissa Williams is a brillant professional that becomes a real friend.

When I needed a divorce attorney to stand by me through a contentious divorce, Melissa was the perfect lawyer who always had her hands on my back and walked me through very difficult and scary territory. Her experience in this field, along with her ability to listen, provide empathy and also be an advocate in every way for her client makes her someone I will always highly recommend to any one going through what I consider a very difficult time in their life. She made me feel supported, safe and made sure I got EVERYTHING I deserved. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone going through divorce - well worth every hour and every cent spent!

Hiring Melissa was the best decision that I made when it came to my divorce. Living in New Hampshire and trying to deal with a divorce in Texas, Melissa made everything seamless for me from start to finish. She helped me every step of the way and exceeded all my expectations when it came to finalizing the terms of my divorce. Her level of professionalism and tenacity are unmatched. I would recommend her time and again, no question.

Melissa took over a case for me that had been going no where for many months. Not only did she get me out of that horrible situation (which was no easy task to become free of my first lawyer), she provided clarity and a path forward quickly. Once she was representing me, if there was ever anything I needed she responded promptly and kept my case moving. Her expertise helped get my case finished with an extremely fair outcome. I highly recommend Melissa and cant thank her enough for all her help.

I had initial consultations with 3 divorce attorneys, and within minutes of my first meeting with Melissa I knew she was the one I would retain. From the beginning, she gave me very honest and accurate information, which helped me to have realistic expectations. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of family law, very well organized, and a great communicator. It was obviously not her first rodeo, and as it was mine, I found her calm demeanor very reassuring. She never flinched when opposing counsel delayed, postured, and made unreasonable requests. She was exceptionally responsive throughout the entire course of my case, as was as her paralegal. I also felt like she did a good job of presenting options that would minimize my legal fees. My divorce unfortunately ended up in court. Melissa did a great job at the trial, and I had a very favorable outcome. I highly recommend Melissa!

I couldnt have asked for a more supportive, efficient, and prevailing lawyer than Melissa Williams for my divorce. She helped me wrap this process up in about 5 months or less no matter the challenge we faced. She always respected my wishes but always made sure I was aware of all my options that were in my best interest. I am forever thankful!

I have had the honor to know Melissa for nearly 15 years. She is wonderful; compassionate when needed, and tough when required! I treasure her input to assist me in making critical decisions that can affect me for many years ahead. Our moral values are aligned, and most important, I trust her. Matter of fact, I have had the opportunity to refer Melissa to several Friends over the years and everyone has been just as grateful for her professional assistance. I would be happy to refer her to anyone.

I have been working with Ms. Williams since 2013 regarding various family law issues and it has always been a positive experience. Melissa has provided me with competent legal guidance through some very challenging situations. Ms. Williams has always exhibited the utmost professionalism inside and outside of the courtroom. Since working with Melissa and her staff we have not lost a case, so I believe her results speak for themselves. I highly recommend Melissa Williams to anyone looking for an articulate, knowledgable and experienced attorney.

I have worked with Melissa during two stressful situations dating back to 2013. She is not only an amazing attorney, but a great person. She helps you navigate through difficult times without judgement and a sense of sincerity unlike I ve ever experienced. She s fair and just, and helps you get the result you truly deserve. I was going through a unique divorce a few years back and while everyone else said what I was asking for was impossible prior to even sitting with me, Melissa took the time to at least hear me out. We even got the result I was looking for! She is quick to respond regardless of whether you are knee deep in the middle of a divorce or years after the divorce was finalized. Melissa continues to be my go-to attorney referral when I encounter anyone needing a true advocate on their side during the divorce process or child custody situation.

Melissa handled my divorce a few years ago. I could not have been more pleased and impressed by her knowledge, tact and responsiveness throughout the entire process. While my ex-wife s attorney was very experienced, he was clearly out-gunned when it came to mental horsepower, process and negotiation. But more than anything, she is a genuine and sincere advocate and acted with the utmost integrity throughout the entire process. I recommend very highly!!

I hired Melissa to help me with my divorce. She educated me about the process (settlement in my case), provided great advice, and ultimately, helped me get through a less-than-ideal life event with minimal stress. I would recommend her to others going through the divorce process who are also considering the settlement option.

Meeting with lawyers can be stressful and uncomfortable for most people, but Melissa Williams and her team have been exceptional for the multiple cases I ve had her represent me. They were very good about talking through issues in an approachable, yet professional manner, to help clients feel at ease. She was extremely well prepared for meetings and dates related to my cases, whether it was being versed in the multitude of details or performing research on topics that may come up regarding your case proceedings. I highly recommend considering her for your legal representation.

Melissa is a professional, knowledgeable, and overall effective divorce attorney. She advised me through a collaborative divorce, laid out reasonable expectations in the financial and child custody areas, protected my interests, and did so in a manner that I would describe as efficient, amicable, and valuable. Her demeanor is calm, clear, and resilient, which are traits I seek in this situation. She has gained my trust, and happy to refer her to anyone that has to go through a divorce.

I felt completely at ease with Melissa from the first time we met. Divorce is never an easy thing, and can be downright terrifying, as it was in my case. Talking to Melissa felt like talking to a trusted friend. She put me at ease, and always explained everything so that I could understand it. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, approachable, and kind, but she can also be tough when need be. She responds to e-mails very quickly, and often times would even call to discuss something important over the phone. She was also very conscious of how much money I was spending, and always tried to make the process as affordable as possible. I would wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to anyone needing an exceptional divorce lawyer.

Melissa Williams competence, excellence, and compassion are unmatched. She represented me in a case where I wanted to settle out of court, but the case ended up going to court. She is the best of the best in both worlds. Melissa truly believes in helping her client and especially protecting children from the harm of a contentious divorce. Unlike other attorneys, she does not fan the flames just in order to rack up fees. If and when a case has to go to court, she is the most effective attorney I have ever seen. Melissa listened carefully and remembered everything, including details, and made suggestions that ultimately decided the positive outcome. Hiring Melissa was the best legal decision I have ever made.

Melissa navigated through my contentious divorce very smoothly and adeptly, with class and with dignity. From our very first meeting, her confidence put me at ease and she never made me feel ignorant. She took the time to explain to me every single thing that was going on, and never made a significant move without consulting me first. I have and will continue to recommend her to others.
