Attorney Smith-Williams was professional and responsive throughout my legal process. She answered any questions I had, explained things in detail, and returned my calls promptly. Attorney Smith-Williams was patient and understanding as we faced unknowns and lack of follow through by others. She always kept me aware of my options. Ultimately, things were resolved in my favor, and I thank Attorney Smith-Williams for her expertise in getting the job done!

We called this lawyer as she was a part of our legal plan through our job. We spoke to a receptionist and scheduled a call for the following day.
The following day we did not receive a call until 40 minutes after our scheduled time.
We did not appreciate the lawyer’s tone and her unprofessionalism. The call was about 2 minutes and was a waste of a consultation in my opinion. We do not recommend this lawyer. Keep looking guys.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
I used Yolanda as my divorce attorney in which was a great choice. She is very proficient and can get the job done by any means necessary. I absolutely recommend her for anyone that doesn't have the time to spend hrs on the phone or in person with a lawyer.

My love made the mistake of choosing Mrs. Smith-Williams law firm to manage his divorce. During this process, Mrs. Smith-Williams name became the lady that calls herself an attorney at our house because of the poor quality of representation and lack of responsiveness. During many of his interactions with her, she seemed to be the defender of the ex-wife instead of his defense attorney. She always preferred emailing instead of calling, even when calling would obviously be the easiest, fastest, and most effective way to communicate. When she did email, it was always short and to the point without

Needing a local attorney and having rarely ever needed one, i was a bit apprehensive cold calling this group for a minor traffic assist.. But WOW! My initial contact was by email-i hated having to call while at work. Extremely personable, prompt in replying back to me, even via email, scheduled the time to talk with the attorney over the phone - just superior (and personable) front office staff and a VERY effective, courteous (non intimidating) attorney. I could not have been more pleased with this firm in not only helping me with my case, but just being very normal, nice people who took the time

Yolanda has worked with me on two major child custody and child support cases. Each case was extremely difficult, detailed, and time consuming. Through all of the ups and downs of both cases, Yolanda did an amazing job of staying on top of everything and fighting for all my needs and requests, to the opposing counsels and the court. Even with strong opposition EVERY step of the way she found a way to prevail and get a "win" for me. She was very fair when it came to costs and she went over and beyond to communicate with me continuously. She was always very realistic and upfront about my requests

…I was very impressed with her knowledge of the law and attention to the details… We were able to settle the case through mediation I believe because of the confidence she projected and ability to address the facts."
“… she kept me up to date on processes and procedures and communicated with me on a level that I could understand…”
“… her attentiveness to details, understanding my circumstances, creating a strategy, and a willingness to do whatever it took to meet our needs…
Attorney Smith-Williams and the Smith-Williams Law Firm totally came through for me and I would recommend

Attorney Yolanda Smith-Williams was very helpful and knowledgeable. She made sure I was informed of what was going on during my case and took the time to explain my options that would be most beneficial to me. I trusted her advice and felt confident in her work. I would recommend Attorney Yolanda Smith-Williams to anyone who needs a family law attorney that they can trust to do what is best for their case.
