Steven L. Williams
Attorney

"I have practiced law for 29 years. Eight of those were spent in public service areas of the law. My practice has always centered on dealing with individuals and their personal problems and issues whether it was divorce, buying or selling a home, bankruptcy, probate or estate planning."

"Personally and professionally I believe my duty as a lawyer is to help people resolve their legal problems quickly and as completely as I am able. I feel it is important to communicate clearly with my clients. Divorce is a complicated business. I try to help my clients understand the system in advance, so we can avoid pitfalls wherever possible. I try to build quality relationships with my clients and they know they can trust me."

Client Stories

KAREN, Grand Rapids DAWN protected me and my kids when I finally escaped. It was so hard to leave...but I knew my husband would never change. I've watched my children become happier and more outgoing. I found a job, and I'm beginning to enjoy life again. I wish I hadn't waited so long.
