BRETT T. WILLIAMSON: ATTORNEY, THE STOGSDILL LAW FIRM

As a family law attorney, Brett T. Williamson’s mission is to help people during some of life’s most challenging moments. “Family law deals with deeply personal issues—divorce, property distribution, child custody, domestic violence—and requires not only legal expertise but also compassion, common sense, and emotional intelligence,” he explains. “A family law attorney has the chance to advocate for the best interests of children, help families find stability, and ensure that individuals are treated fairly under the law. It’s a practice area where the results are often tangible and deeply rewarding—reuniting families, protecting vulnerable individuals and their financial wellbeing, and helping clients move forward with dignity and clarity.”

A product of a divorced family and upbringing, Williamson developed a deep understanding of the challenges with divorce and remains motivated by a desire to make cases easier on children and the parties involved. In an effort to resolve cases amicably, he strives to keep people out of court, but also understands some cases cannot be resolved amicably requiring a skilled trial lawyer to complete the case. “Many people assume that family law cases are always contentious, but in fact, a significant portion of the work involves negotiation, mediation, and helping families reach amicable resolutions. At its core, family law is about guiding people through emotionally complex transitions with fairness, compassion, and a focus on long-term well-being,” says Williamson, adding that media portrayals of courtroom drama fuel this misconception.

“In reality, family law encompasses a wide range of issues beyond just ending marriages, including child custody, adoption, guardianship, domestic violence protection, and support arrangements.” He has successfully represented high-net-worth individuals in a variety of dissolution matters and has built a reputation for his meticulous case preparation, leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of justice. He is also deeply committed to giving back to the community, volunteering his time as a coach and lending his expertise to various legal aid organizations, including providing pro bono services. Through it all, Williamson believes in the power of the law to effect positive change and strives to make a difference in the lives of others.
