About

Born and raised in the Western Chicago suburbs.  I have an undergraduate degree in psychology with 5 years experience with youth and adolescents displaying severe emotional and psychological disorders.I graduated Cum Laude from Northern Illinois University College of Law.  While completing my legal studies I worked as an intern and law clerk for the Kane County State's Attorney's office.  While at the Kane County SAO I prosecuted Class X and Class 1 adult drug felonies.For the better part of the last decade I have focused my attention almost exclusively on domestic relations matters--divorce, custody, support, child visitation and enforcement issues.My website has a substantial amount of helpful information for everyone from the inexperienced litigant to the veteran attorney, all in simple to understand terms.  Reviewing my website is FREE so take a look.I am an experienced litigation attorney as well as a trained collaborative lawyer.  I have been approved to act as a Guardian Ad Litem and believe in the settlement approach to divorce cases.As your attorney, I will represent you and enforce your rights to the fullest extent but have also devised a method of doing so as economically as possible.

I retained Atty Williams to represent me in the divorce case just in 2 months before the trial. Before doing that I had subsequently retained and fired 2 two other lawyers which were generating bills w/o doing any work. It is very difficult to describe the difference Atty Williams made w/o going into the details of the case, so I simply say that I'm glad I found and retained him and I can highly recommend him w/o any reservations. I'm impressed with his realistic and constructive attitude, responsible approach to the case and and prompt communication. As a result, we were able to resolve all the issues and settle the case w/o going into a trial. Thanks, Matthew! Finally, a few remarks for those who is seeking for a divorce lawyer. - I didn't find Avvo ratings any helpful for choosing a lawyer - the worst layer I hired had very high Avvo rating. - Look for independent client reviews in places different from the lawyer's website - they help a lot. - check the lawyer's website - it tells a lot about the lawyer. I found that Atty. Williams's website really stands out .
