About Jerrell Williams

I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Richmond School of Law. I have experience in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, franchising, commercial transactions, products liability, construction law, criminal defense, personal injury, estate planning, and family law. I’ve worked at large and mid-sized downtown firms.

I attend Perry Presbyterian Church with my wife and kids, where I teach Sunday School for the youth and participate in the men’s ministry. I’m active in Kiwanis International. I spend as much of my free time with family as possible. And, I travel often to Virginia to see my daughters who attend school in Virginia, and to manage my Virginia office.

I wasn’t always a lawyer. After graduating from Texas A&M University, I attended Dallas Theological Seminary and served as a youth pastor in Dallas and Houston for 8 years.

I began my legal career defending car manufacturers in catastrophic vehicle rollover cases in Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida. The cases involved severe and traumatic injuries and required extensive understanding of vehicle construction and rollover dynamics. The “tricks of the trade” that I learned there will help you obtain the best recovery possible in your personal injury case.

I grew my expertise to include defending design professionals, specifically, engineers and architects, in multimillion dollar litigation. For example, when a food processing plant exploded in the southeastern part of the US, I worked on the litigation defense team for the engineering firm that was at the center of the dispute. Highly complex litigation, like that, demands attention to detail and strategic maneuvering, which are the hallmarks of this firm.

I help my clients’ companies avoid litigation by, among other things, negotiating and drafting solid tight contracts that minimize risks and encourage cooperation and buy-in from the other sides of the deals. I also advise larger companies on employment matters to help them get the most from their teams and to comply with state and federal laws.
