Why Choose Us
The primary goal, above all others, is to choose a lawyer you can trust. Good questions to consider are whether the lawyer enjoys the job, whether he’s organized, whether he is comfortable and up front with bad news. A well-organized lawyer that enjoys the work will continue thinking about your case after the lights are off and the billing has stopped.
It should not be difficult for the trial lawyer to explain the benefits of their hire. When shopping for a lawyer, listen not only to their promises, but pay attention to their manner. Lawyering, as a profession, ranks among the top in rates of depression, suicide, and substance abuse. A keen sense for unhappiness — defensiveness, combativeness, signs of burn-out or disarray — will go a long way. There is no harm in interviewing more people. Attorneys and clients work closely together, you will want someone sharp, articulate, and with whom you can communicate openly.
Behave as though you have a judge and jury as an audience at all times. Preserve evidence of your good behavior and that of your opponent’s bad behavior. Contact a lawyer.
Clients traditionally pay lawyers on one of three bases.
1. Hourly. A traditional “hourly fee” will depend on the law firm’s structure and overhead, and on the skill and market value of the attorney’s time. It can range from $200 – $500+ per hour.
2. Contingency. A “contingency fee” — common practice in personal injury cases — is a fee paid to the lawyer out of the proceeds of the lawsuit. If the suit is unsuccessful, the client pays the attorney nothing. A contingency fee ranges between 33% and 40% of the proceeds.
3. Flat Fee. A “flat fee” is a fix sum of money the client pays in advanced for the attorney’s work throughout the entire case (or for a specified portion of it). Flat fees vary greatly, between $500 to over $100K, depending on the scope of work estimated by the attorney.

The NC Bar Association referred me to Williams and Ray for a consultation related to a motor vehicle accident I was involved in several months back. My husband and I were seeking advice regarding fair compensation for the diminished value on our vehicle.Bryce Williams was very friendly, patient, well-informed, and extremely helpful. He answered all my questions and provided additional information that was very helpful in aiding my understanding of calculating the diminished value and determining what was an appropriate sum for us to seek to collect from the insurance carrier.My only comment on the negative side of the consultation... read moreThe NC Bar Association referred me to Williams and Ray for a consultation related to a motor vehicle accident I was involved in several months back.

He answered all my questions and provided additional information that was very helpful in aiding my understanding of calculating the diminished value and determining what was an appropriate sum for us to seek to collect from the insurance carrier.My only comment on the negative side of the consultation is only regarding the timeliness of the consultation as we did have to wait about one month for an appointment. However, this is a very minor thing, in my opinion, and the level of service I received was superior. I did not deduct any stars from my review due to this factor. I only mention it as it could be important to others pursuing legal advice. read less
Janine Bennett3/19/2022Adam is one of the most professional, caring, knowledgeable lawyers I've worked with. He made sure to help me every step of the way and helped me achieve the best outcome. I wouldn't have been able to get the justice I deserved without his help! He takes his time to listen before he offers his advice which I found extremely helpful. He is passionate about justice and goes above and beyond to help. I highly recommend him!!
Noor Jabbar9/21/2021I have hired many law firms over the years, and Williams & Ray is the best around by far. I have worked with Brycen Williams for many years now, and I have gotten to know him very well. There is a lot I could say about him. As a professional matter, I find him to be logical, concise, strategic, and brilliant. He has advised me in many areas - business strategy, estate planning, litigation, and more. I have always found his legal advice to be effective. I highly recommend Williams & Ray.

I contacted Brycen and Adam in regard to a legal employment matter. They were able to speak with me on the phone the next day. They listened and carefully reviewed the situation. They advised me on different options and what to expect. Brycen and Adam treated me with empathy and they were trustworthy. In a difficult situation, they helped me make the best decision.
Nate Baker8/23/2021I worked with Brycen Williams. He helped me to get custody of my children and also my divorced. He helped me every step of the way and was very responsive. I appreciate all his help in the matter and I am satisfied and beyond happy. He is fantastic in the court room.
Sb Sab6/23/2021From day one, Brycen was so supportive and attentive to my concerns and needs. Working with him and Adam was everything I could’ve asked for and more. Anytime I had a question or needed extra support, they were always quick with responses and made time to work around my schedule to speak with me. Their knowledge left me speechless at times, and listening to them talk and come up with strategies was so impressive! I found myself in awe on more than one occasion. These two will GET IT DONE. 10/10 can’t recommend enough.

Adam and his team have provided exceptional service and guidance during my recent civil dispute. In court appearances and mediation discussions have been favorable and Adam did an incredibly thorough job, while remaining extremely professional and responsive. I would recommend W&R honestly for any type of legal representation.

He also provided realistic and pragmatic possible outcomes of my case, and after our periodic discussions, I always felt comfortable, informed, and positive with any potential plans of action we discussed.Brycen is confident, competent, and possesses outstanding skills in communication and litigations. Throughout the entire process of my case, which consisted of several court hearings throughout the time span of a year, Brycen consistently remained prepared, arrived early, and maintained detailed knowledge regarding the specifics of my case. Bryce presented compelling arguments, and delivered exact and intelligent points throughout the trial period of my case, and I never had a feeling of uncertainty nor doubt in Brycen's abilities.My particular case was difficult in nature due to the nature of the situation. Brycen explored a myriad of approaches to negotiate the case, and I believe he made excellent decisions, delivered a compelling argument to defend my case. I recommend Brycen Williams as defense attorney to ANYONE seeking those services because Brycen will commit his time, energy, and heart to you and your circumstance. Brycen will go above and beyond your expectations every time, and he will demonstrate how serious he takes your situation.I am thankful I met Bryce, and I am thankful for the energy and hard work he dedicated to me and my case.Eric WilliamsOperations OfficerUS Army read less
