WHO IS THE LAWYER AT LIBERTY?
Dani Williams is a trial lawyer, focusing her practice on winning criminal cases by standing up to and fighting the Government on behalf of her clients.
She has perfected all of her skills in taking serious cases to trial and winning. She refers to herself as "LAWYER AT LIBERTY" because in the Spirit of 1776, she carries the torch high, to fight back the demons and lead her clients safely through, by the light to the end of the tunnel.
Dani Williams graduated from the University of California at Davis. She went on to get her J.D. at Lincoln Law School, on the Dean's Honor Role and with an Outstanding Student Award. While attending Lincoln she served as the President of the Student Body. She graduated in June of 1979 and passed the July 1979 California Bar Exam. She clerked for several winning lawyers during law school, so that she was able to confidently go directly into private practice.
In 1979, the practice of Law was very different. In those days she might typically appear in Federal Court in the morning on a Criminal case and in State Court on a Family Law matter in the afternoon. In private practice, lawyers were able to do it all, because primarily we were Trial Lawyers and if we couldn't settle a case in an equitable and speedy manner for our clients, we weren't afraid to go to Court and litigate. Practicing Law was not so much a business then, as it was an Honorable Profession. She is grateful to have several great practicing lawyers as mentors, in particular Jerry Wininger, Brian Flynn, Seymour Berger, and Ernie Winters who taught her how to represent clients while still paying tribute to the honorable traditions of the profession.
She has mentored 5 other, now successful lawyers, just as she was mentored by Wininger, and Flynn and Berger and Winters. She has done her best to imbue her mentees with the same values and sense of honor and decorum.
Dani has successfully litigated cases from Fresno to Redding, consulted on Federal Criminal cases in other States, and is familiar with all fields of Law because she has actually practiced most of them.
In the past 11 years, Dani has concentrated her law practice on criminal law. She has had 11 criminal cases go to trial in the last 7 years, 5 of which were homicides. The last two homicide trials in a row, resulted in acquittals. From the perspective of Trial Lawyers, 7 such trials is a lot of trial work, as many of her cases have lasted from 6 weeks to many months.
