I highly recommend Mr. Williams for his exceptional skill and compassion for his clients. He quickly earned my trust and confidence through his clear and timely communication, and his sincere, caring approach to my case. In each interaction with Mr. Williams, he answered my questions thoughtfully and patiently, and demonstrated great commitment to our desired end result. Yes, we won. You cannot go wrong with Mr. Williams as your counsel.

Excellent communication. Anytime I received correspondence regarding my bankruptcy Mr. Williams was very responsive to get me in for an appointment and sometimes could get immediate answers to my questions over the telephone. A very trouble free attorney. Very knowledgeable in his practice. You pay a bit more, but you are getting someone who has experience, who will fight for your case, and takes time to make sure you have a trouble-free experience. If you find a cheaper lawyer then you get what you pay for. Plain and simple.

I met Dick B. Williams during my personal bankruptcy about six years ago and was impressed by his attention to what was in my best interest as a client. When compared to local attorney's, he sat down with me before taking any money, thoroughly explained the protocol and left me with the question, "Is this the lawyer for you?" Although he sometimes appeared to take his time with the attention I believed was necessary for my case, he helped me to understand the statutes and response times were not as detrimental once the process had begun. I have since referred several family members and friends to him, and to there satisfaction, he always kept it true to what was in their personal best interest. His knowledge exceeded my expectations when a personal issue came during a family bankruptcy and he refused to act until her best interest was protected and even though that meant no bankruptcy he appeared ok and gladly refunded her money! Great JOB!

I called Dick B. "Rich" Williams shortly after being injured in an auto accident Dec '06 that was not my fault. He referred me to another attorney in the area who they had some history with, and promised to keep up with my case. About six months later, he informed me of some behavior by the other attorney that he & his partner/father did not approve of, and they supported me in terminating my relationship with that attorney and agreed to work with another one that I knew in Chicago. Rich continued to be an effective local "interpreter" for me throughout the case, which was eventually settled to my satisfaction a couple years later. I have worked in financial services for nearly 20 years, so trustworthiness & prompt and effective communication are important to me. I have recommended Mr. Williams & his firm several times since then to clients & friends for a variety of legal needs - estate planning, business disputes, divorce, traffic defense - and each of them had a comparable experience. I will continue to refer people to Mr. Williams & his firm.

Mr. Dick B. Williams came highly recommended to me for a bankruptcy. He took the time to talk to me personally about my case instead of having an assistant talk to me. He advised me that a bankruptcy would not be in my best interest at the time. He could have easily taken my money but he did the right thing.

Main source of contact was through e-mails. Mr. Williams would not respond to questions raised during our correspondence. He would not respond to e-mails without reminders to do so. Looking back I feel I would have gotten much faster results with a different attorney. Mr. Williams gave me the impression my case was not important to him. That's why I switched lawyers when my case reached the court stage, even that did not prompt any response.
