Not only is Anna Williams an incompetent thief who shamelessly bends over backwards to drain your retainer doing busy work that doesn't benefit you or your case at all - while simultaneously refusing to do one damn thing you hired her to accomplish (which, by agreeing to take my case - and my $15,000 retainer) she assured she would work hard to pursue throughout the course of her representation, BUT if that were not enough, she is unequivocally one of the rudest, most uncivil "people" I have ever had the ill-fortune to encounter. And, I swear on my children, I hired this so-called lawyer to divorce my then-husband who is extremely physically, emotionally, psychologically, and financially abusive! That only conveys a fraction of how uncivilized, insufferable and unprofessional Anna Williams is. And trust me on her completely lacking competency: I am also a lawyer and was nothing short of appalled by this woman's unethical billing practices in conjunction with her unrelenting refusal to do her job at all. She literally treated me like I was her associate or her intern the entire time she represented me by making me do all of her work (with a very nasty attitude to boot) and billing me exponentially more than a competent, ethical family law attorney would have to actually do his/her job and guide me with the expertise Anna Williams tricked me into thinking she had when I hired her. Unless you are looking for representation that entails a mean-spirited, unprofessional incompetent insulting and lying to you at every possible opportunity as you do all your case's work for her so she can then in turn bill you $300 per day to "review" the multiple hours of work you completed for her and another $250 to (sloppily) copy and paste your work into one of her preexisting forms before ends the day by calling or emailing you to insist everything related to the fundamental facts and circumstances of your case are nowhere near as advantageous as she thought they were during the consultation and to argue how your case is not strong at all as you know it to be based on common sense and domestic violence laws - just so she could bill you $225 for literally driving you crazy for at least an hour...avoid at all costs. There is a reason why you cannot leave a review of her practice on Google reviews. Anna Williams frankly should not be practicing law and I hope no one ever allows her to put him or her through the nightmare Anna Williams cruelly subjected me. That is, forcing me to donate against my will $15,000 to my new abuser in exchange for her to relentlessly insult and torture me emotionally and psychologically while simultaneously making me do all the legal work I hired her to complete when she regretfully conned me into paying her a $15,000 retainer to divorce me from my extremely abusive ex-husband. Without a doubt one of the worst (and most expensive) 7 weeks of my life. That's correct; she bled me dry of nearly the entire $15,000 in under 7 weeks to "review" insult, undermine and then plagiarize my hard work with the aid of the copy/paste function. To paraphrase the wise words of FDNY: stay back 200 feet. read more

TL,DR Version: Anna was the level headedness we needed during a very difficult time, and thanks to her counsel and honesty the family law case we brought to her was resolved to our satisfaction. She was up front about the various difficulties and potential challenges we could be faced with, and while she did not give us unreasonable hope, you cannot argue with her results: we won, unequivocally. Long version: Never having needed a lawyer before, "shopping around" for one was an exercise in frustration, customer service is far from a top priority at law offices I've come to realize. Between offices that would never call back when they said they would to admins who sounded like they just could not care less about what you were calling about, Anna's office was a breath of fresh air. We were able to set up a consultation in a reasonable time frame, she listened carefully to what we had to say, then clearly and rationally explained the legal grounds our case had, were it could lack, and was up front about how long and grueling the process would likely be. There were a few bumps at the very beginning (a couple things wrong with paperwork that were caught prior to their submission by us), and when we brought this to her attention, she was deeply apologetic and it never happened again. (A mistake does not bother me as long as the person who did it owns up to it and fixes the problem, which she did.) She guided us through the process with a calm and professional demeanor that helped alleviate some of the stress involved, and never once did we feel we had been left alone or in the dark about any part of the process. Preparations for mediation and court were thorough for us as clients and those who were witnesses on our behalf. Her communication times were reasonable, and the work she and her team put in matched up with every bill we received which was incredibly detailed and verifiable. We feel her prices were reasonable based on the quality of work performed - her knowledge of the law and ability to aptly apply it to our case was brilliant. Even if we had not won, her services earned the fees associated with them. Anna's services will be kept on retainer, as we have a suspicion the other party will try some other tactic in the near future. We are confident in our recommendation of Anna for family law cases based on our experiences. read more

Two and a half years after my divorce was finalized, my ex-wife changed the game by a deciding to make a choice of not following the approved and legal parenting plan. Heart broken and not knowing what course of action would help me regain my family, I found Anna. She told me from our first meeting, that she would be there every step of the way. I appreciated her integrity and honesty, but still had some reservations about the process after a long and traumatic divorce. I was quickly put to ease after our first meeting by Anna's amazing communication with me. I knew what was happening and why with every step of the process, and she was always there to answer every question that came up. Her legal knowledge was outstanding and was only outmatched by her compassion. She wasn't in this just for the money. Anna genuinely cared about my case and worked as hard as a friend or family member would for me. She was the calm in the storm I was forced into and although there were many times that I felt like I was hit yet again by my ex, her expertise and heart kept my head above water and kept me going. Although, my fight isn't over yet, I feel like I've won the first round of the many that are sure to follow, and I cannot thank Anna enough for being in my corner. read more

I cannot thank Anna enough! I was hit with a divorce and it was not easy emotionally or financially, I'm just a blue collar man and I needed big time help. Anna came referred from another attorney who simply stated, "You can call around to other attorneys or you can call Anna and just get it done". He was right! Anna took time to really listen to my situation; my wants, needs, and was very realistic and honest through the entire divorce process. We were up against a very emotional and unreasonable ex-wife and attorney. Anna stayed level headed, calm, and collected through the entire process which kept me very calm. Her experience really shined in mediation. My retainer and final bill was more than reasonable and justified, Anna is worth every penny. Communication and organization from her and her team was top notch and still is to this day. It's funny, I didn't realize how effective and efficient Anna was until I finally decompressed after the divorce. Trust me, you are in great hands here. Thank you for your help, support, and honesty Anna! read more
