Pat has represented me in a few instances- one sad, and one glad. I have entrusted her with my future, and have not a single regret in doing so. Her presence through both proceedings was a tremendous source of confidence and calm. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am pleased to express the positive experiences regarding the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Patricia Dunlevy Williams. She showed great empathy and was extremely knowledgeable. Throughout my case she maintained quality communications between all involved parties, worked to ensure timely responses to all questions and guided me through an extremely stressful process. I will recommend her and her team to anyone in need of her services. Thank you for your time and attention regarding my case.

I hope Ms. Williams will forgive the title but initially you might expect a soft representative. Pat demonstrated early on that your case and therefore, your welfare is her main focus. She listened carefully to me and frankly, I was humble and expecting to be marched down the road of conciliation. She quickly squared me away on why there was equal amounts of blame to go around and not to lay down so easily. She provided quick feedback to all inquiries and kept me updated through the entire proceeding. I have and will continue to praise her representation and any and all.

Pat worked hard to make my divorce from a difficult spouse go more smoothly. My now-ex-wife hired what she called a "shark" of an attorney. I consulted with a few attorneys before deciding to hire Pat because I thought she would be the best one to deal with a "shark." At every turn, my ex tried to make the process difficult. She and her attorney tried to use a delay, defer, defeat strategy to get what they didn't deserve. At one point, my ex even tried to delay the hearing with a divorce master by switching from the "shark" to another attorney at the shark's firm. When I told Pat that I would not consent to the delay, she worked hard to make sure the process would continue.  Pat made a difficult life-changing event less difficult. Her knowledge, skill, determination, and compassion helped me deal with my ex who was making unrealistic demands. She knew how to wade through the drama to get the job done.
