Heather-Jill Williams Family Law PC

Wildly Unprofessional... My daughters mother hired Heather. Lets just say her reputation precedes her. She kept mom on retainer FOR MONTHS, encouraging her to be as difficult as possible with me. The day came for pretrial conference: she yelled and acted like a complete child; telling me "you'll never get anything you're asking for!!" etc... Four days later, we went to court and she immediately folded and demanded that we go to mediation instead. She didn't even attempt to fight for her client who had spent thousands to be represented. I represented myself and won every last thing I was looking for. I would highly recommend not hiring her; the best lawyers don't need to rely on performative measures to intimidate the opposition into a win, they navigate the court with their competency in family law.

My experience with this attorney was extremely disappointing and stressful during an already very difficult divorce. Communication was poor and often delayed, especially around time-sensitive court issues, which left me feeling unprepared and unsupported going into hearings. At times, her tone in communication felt demeaning and unnecessarily harsh, including a notably hostile response when I sent a email the weekend before a Monday hearing. I was reprimanded for emailing during her family time and said it’s rude to not respect her boundaries. I was in the dark and felt unprepared without any communication leading up to the court date. Instead of feeling guided or supported, I often felt dismissed and spoken to in a way that added to an already contentious situation. Additionally, I felt she was more inflammatory to my case than helpful; blatant attempts to provoke my ex in the court house with loud, obnoxious and quite frankly, odd behavior. I also felt that explanations of legal strategy and negotiations were vague, and I did not feel confident that I fully understood key decisions being made on my behalf until after the fact. This resulted in consequences that I later had to address with a different attorney at additional cost. Overall, I would not recommend this attorney, especially for anyone going through a high-conflict divorce who needs clear communication, support, and professionalism.
