They handled a case for me years ago and when money came due to me recently the Wanda Ruiz did everything she could to track me down. That's amazing! I am so thankful.

The team at Williams Hart & Boundas walked with me through the most difficult years of my life. For over 4 years, they fought diligently to get me and my children what we deserved. I was always impressed with their intricate, detailed knowledge of our case during each and every hearing or meeting. I am grateful I chose them to represent us.

I would like to thank Williams Hart & Boundas for showing compassion to our sister. She is the sole breadwinner in her house and when she got into a terrible accident that sent her to the hospital for weeks recently, they helped her with her legal issues at no cost. This shows that they are a great neighbor to the community they serve. They are a great example of how we all should behave. Thank you.
