"I highly recommend Melissa and can't thank her enough for all her help!"

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 can't thank her enough for all her help.

"Melissa was the perfect lawyer!"

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!

"Melissa Williams is a brilliant professional that becomes a real friend."

Let's 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, straightforward advice that was in my best interest. I couldn't 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 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 anyway she can. The office is amazing and I couldn't be more grateful for them both. From my experience, in the end, you will realize that Melissa Williams is a brilliant professional that becomes a real friend.

"She may know Texas family law better than anyone"

First of all, I'm sorry that you are here, this process is really difficult, but if you've found Melissa it's about to get easier. Melissa is a really great family attorney. I hired her for my divorce last year and without getting too into it, Melissa was an incredible partner and I'd recommend her to anyone who needed help. She is a good listener, very strategic and calm. My impression after working with her for 9 months is that she may know Texas family law better than anyone (in my limited experience interviewing 3 lawyers and watching her work opposite 2). She was also really empathetic at times and in the end she led me through a really tough time and I am happy with the outcome.

"I would recommend her to others going through the divorce process who are also considering the settlement option."

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.

"They were very good about talking through issues in an approachable, yet professional manner, to help clients feel at ease."

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 continues to be my go-to attorney referral when I encounter anyone needing a true advocate on their side."

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.

"She is a genuine and sincere advocate and acted with the utmost integrity throughout the entire process."

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!!

Ben

"Since working with Melissa and her staff we have not lost a case, so I believe her results speak for themselves."

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.

"Your sympathy and attention to detail are far beyond my expectation"

I truly appreciate all the help that you and Melinda have given me. I know it's business, but the things you have shown me such as your sympathy and attention to detail are far beyond my expectations. I don't think I could have gotten this case done so quickly without you there representing me. I am very, very grateful.

"Melissa Williams' competence, excellence, and compassion are unmatched."

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.

"I was fortunate enough to have found Melissa while I was going through some difficult family law issues."

I was fortunate enough to have found Melissa while I was going through some difficult family law issues. From the start of this process, Melissa was more than thorough at explaining all of my options regarding my case. Family law cases are often difficult to deal with on every level but Melissa made me feel at ease. My questions and concerns were immediately addressed and there was always an open line of communication. Navigating through the court system for individuals that have little to no experience can be overwhelming however Melissa exhibited a high level of professionalism while dealing with not only me but her peers as well. I had to unfortunately address a couple of child family law issues but I am happy to say that Melissa won them all. I would recommend Ms. Williams 100% to anyone requiring a tremendous family law attorney!

""Who is the Go To Attorney?" I say hands down it's Melissa-Look No Further."

If you look up the definition of a First Class Attorney-Pro Family, Extremely Fair, Seasoned, Works Amazingly well under pressure in and out of the court room. She doesn't get into the drama nonsense like other attorneys and is worth her weight in Gold. I had an extremely tough divorce and Melissa was the calm through the storm and in the toughest time of my life. I have recommended her to anyone that has ever asked me; "Who is the Go To Attorney?" I say hands down it's Melissa-Look No Further.

"My son and I will be forever grateful for Melissa working hard for us."

I found myself in a difficult divorce situation. My number one concern was my 14 month old son. I had met with 8 attorneys who informed me of my options and all pointed to the fact that the law is the law and that's the end of it. When I found Melissa it was different, she actually listened to my concerns and really had my sons best interest at the forefront. I had finally found someone who genuinely understood my concerns and let me have a voice. It is so hard to find good people this day in age, Melissa Williams is one of them! If you are looking for someone to be your advocate, Melissa is your best bet! My son and I will be forever grateful for Melissa working hard for us.

Melissa M. Williams impressed me from our very first meeting. Melissa is a superb listener and was able to understand exactly what was needed in my mediated divorce case. Her grasp of Texas Family Law is phenomenal and she was able to help me understand it as it pertained to my divorce. My case had the added component of a military retirement which was expertly handled by Melissa and her staff. Melissa's professional manner and knowledge of the law proved to be very successful in court. I heartily recommend Melissa M. Williams, Attorney at Law.

"She handled my situation professionally with compassion for the situation."

I was originally referred to Melissa from one of her previous clients who had nothing but great things to say about her. I was not disappointed. As we all know divorce is never an easy process but I was fortunate to have Melissa on my team. New to the process I wasn't sure what to expect but Melissa kept me focused on our goals and helping me prioritize the right things. Her knowledge of Collaborative Divorce was exceptional. She handled my situation professionally with compassion for the situation but always had my best interests in mind.
