Our mother was diagnosed with mesothelioma in February 2017. It was an extremely difficult time for our family. We were recommended to Mr. Williams through a friend who had a family member also diagnosed with mesothelioma. Mr. Williams met my mother in the hospital and stayed in contact with her two daughters, and husband. The Williams Law Firm does a wonderful job keeping the family members in the loop of what occurs with the case. Mesothelioma is a horrible disease that people shouldn’t have. Mr. Williams and his diligent team helped our father to receive justice for a disease our mother never should have been diagnosed with. We recommend Mr. Williams and his team for anyone who needs to deal with mesothelioma or any asbestos case. They are extremely professional and hardworking.

The Williams Law Firm represented my late father in a mesothelioma case. They were successful in obtaining settlements, and were responsive when the family had questions or concerns.

In the Fall of 2017 our family retained The Williams Law Firm to represent a member of our family. Mr. Williams took time to visit our home to explain the entire process at the same time answering questions or concerns expressed by the family. During the entire legal process Mr. Williams and his staff kept our family informed, always communicating with us at a level we could all understand. In the final days of my father-in-laws life, Mr Williams became a trusted family friend and adviser as well as our attorney. His recommendations and advice were given to us as if he were part of our family. There are not sufficient stars available for our family to adequately rate the services of The Williams Law Firm that were provided.

The Williams Law Firm is definitely where you should turn to if a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma. Joe Williams personally met with my dad in the hospital once Joe heard from my dad and then traveled to my parents’ house to discuss things further once dad was released from the hospital. Since there was so much information, my parents were overwhelmed and asked Mr. Williams if he could contact me to go over everything. Mr. Williams had no problem establishing contact with me and setting up a phone interview at my convenience and answered all my questions. As things progressed, Mr. Williams kept me informed every step of the way and what should be expected next. Due to my odd working hours, there were times I spoke to Mr. Williams during off hours and he was fine with that and never rushed our conversations. Furthermore, Mr. Williams has a great staff that also keeps me updated and if I have any questions they get back to me in a quick fashion. I highly recommend the Williams Law Firm for their knowledge, availability, and sincerity.

In January of 2015 my mother was told she didn’t have a case by an attorney from another firm, no names, but their initials are W&L. A friend of hers suggested she contact an attorney she knows named Joe Williams. Mr. Williams went to the house, as she was unable to travel, and after discussing everything, he told my mother “you absolutely have a case”. Betty passed away July 1st, 2015 from mesothelioma. Joe explained to me that this does not end here, and we will continue to pursue the case on your mother’s behalf. Joe and his staff spent the next two and a half years fighting for Betty. The whole time explaining the complex legal process in terms someone without a law degree (me) could comprehend. While it is regrettable that I needed his services, I am grateful they were available.

Mr. Williams has been and is currently helping me with my husband’s mesothelioma case. To say that he has worked hard to get results for me would be an understatement. He and his staff have been unfailingly kind and at the same time efficient in helping me with the ins and outs, ups and downs of a case that otherwise I would not have known how to handle. Every member of staff that I have dealt with has kindly and patiently answered my questions, and when unsure of the answer have taken the time to find out and get back to me. I wish that no one would ever have to go through the pain of loss due to this terrible condition, however, I also wish that those who do face this situation would avail themselves of the help that is available to them at this fine and helpful Law Firm. Mr Williams is, dare I say it? Wonderful!
