Sonya Williams
My journey in the legal profession began in 2000 when I quite literally stumbled upon a job as a file clerk. To my surprise, I quickly ascended through the ranks, becoming a legal secretary at an Insurance Defense firm within just a year. Two years later, a pivotal moment arrived when one of the firm’s attorneys opened his own firm. I eagerly joined him. My dedication to the legal field was unwavering.
My career has been marked by strong connections with clients, and it's a connection that goes far beyond the legal realm. I've been known to help clients pack up their homes, assist with their moves, and even clean up their old residences. I form bonds with my clients, providing not just legal counsel but also genuine care and support. People seem to just connect with me, and that's something I truly value.
One of my most memorable experiences involved a client who had suffered a gun shot wound to the head. He is an amazing man. Despite the language barrier (he spoke Spanish, and I didn't), we worked closely together for three years of his litigation and beyond to secure his citizenship. Our bond remains to this day.
Beyond my legal work, I'm actively involved with a nonprofit organization called Return Strong. Return Strong is a Nevada based grassroots organization dedicated to prison reform in Nevada prisons.
I recently began working on Civil Rights cases. I am vastly experience in civil litigations, trials in both state and federal court. I’m proud to say that my reputation as a dedicated and skilled advocate precedes me, earning the respect of my peers in the legal profession.
My passion for what I do is deeply rooted in my all-encompassing care for my clients. I approach each case with my whole heart, ensuring that my clients receive not only legal support through the entire process but also the unwavering amount of understanding that they need during their case. It's these personal connections and my dedication to serving others that define my exceptional career here at The LJU Law Firm.
Starting as a file clerk in 2000, I quickly rose to become a legal secretary and later joined a new firm. My career is defined by forming deep connections with clients, providing support beyond legal matters, and advocating for prison reform. At The LJU Law Firm, I'm dedicated to wholeheartedly serving our clients with understanding and compassion.
