I was born and raised in Gainesville and have practiced law here for over 20 years. I work with all types of families on all matters of family law. I understand the needs of local families and will always strive to provide the best service possible to the members of my community. My parents divorced when I was a child, so I know firsthand the struggle children go through during - and after - a divorce.
If handled improperly, a broken family can lead to lifelong consequences for the children. They often don't have a whole lot of say during the process, which is why I will always place their priorities above anyone else's. My family law clients work directly with me, along with the help of my paralegal.

First off I would like to personally thank Candace for her morals, her proactive work ethic, and her genuine professionalism that she displayed towards me and my case!
Where to begin…? I was in a spot in my life to where I knew I had to make a move for custody of my son! I was scared, I was hopeless, I was down! Going through looking at other reviews from lawyers that I wasn’t impressed with or that really were just trying to give me the run around because I was a “male” fighting for custody!
Some guys at work mentioned her name then I did my own research on Candace and boy I’m so happy

In times of immense stress and when there is so much on the line, such as the wellbeing and future of your children, you want to be able to rely on your counsel for advice and trust that she truly cares about your case and wants to see things be made right. This is who Candace is. I have experienced lawyers that remain relatively uninvolved and more or less forget who you even are until it's time to bill you - Candace remained absolutely hands-on through the entire process. It's honestly amazing, given her skills and how high in-demand she is, that she was able to sincerely devote so much time

I have been opposing counsel on cases with Candace numerous times over the years. Candace never fails to put in more than 100% for her clients. Speaking from experience her tireless work ethic never fails to keep the opposing party on high alert that she is doing everything possible to get her clients the result they desire. I highly recommend her services!

My wife and I put quite a bit of thought into finding the right attorney to represent us in our quest to seek custody of our granddaughter after her mother (my wife's daughter) passed away. We looked into several lawyers and after reviewing her experience in family law, focus on the safety of children, client reviews, and being named a "Super Lawyer" in 2019 and 2020 we selected Candace Williams. Ms. Williams is a tireless advocate for her clients and one of the most dedicated professionals I've worked with. I remember on one occasion I was upset about an incident and sent a very long, detailed
