Charlie Williams is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have ever worked with. He doesn’t see race or nationality just his client he is fighting for to get positive results. I highly recommend him and his staff if you need legal help!
I have been friends with Charlie since he was in law school. He's been my family lawyer since he graduated. He has ALWAYS been there when I needed him. Before COVID, he won a lawsuit for me against a company that did remodeling on my home. I received every penny this man owed me. Charlie wouldn't settle for less. IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO FIGHT FOR YOU HE'S THE MAN. HES ALSO KIND AND TRUTHFUL. HE'S my attorney!!!! Let him be yours!
Charlie has helped my family move forward for years. He can get the job done but truly cares about his clients and their families. In or out of the office he is willing to go the extra mile. My family would not be whole without his compassion & knowledge!
Charlie went above and beyond to help get a case against me resolved. He was very thorough in finding out the details and discrepancies and was able to answer any questions I had, in a way that I could understand it. I 100% recommend him to anyone and I am extremely thankful and appreciate what he was able to do for me and my family.
