Prior to becoming a lawyer, I traveled throughout the United States and the world as a professional musician, playing for well-known musical acts. During those 10 years of touring, I interacted with all types of people from various backgrounds and cultures. I learned to be quick on my feet in communicating with just about anyone.
I am family law attorney William Godley. My worldly experience has resulted in an empathetic, creative and diligent approach to family law issues such as:
From my law office in Lake Charles, I represent clients throughout southwestern Louisiana.
I have been divorced. I am a child of divorce. I can relate to not only my clients but also their children. Any
divorce action involving kids requires me to look out for their best interests. I encourage my clients to do the same. Divorce takes enough of an emotional toll without their vengeful parents engaged in battle at any cost.
However, if the opposing side digs in their heels and
refuses to compromise, I take a more aggressive
approach in the courtroom. Still looking out for the best interests of my clients and their children, I will fight on their behalf and find resolution.
Down to earth, understanding, compassionate, and one of a kind. Helped with my child custody case. Legendary!
During a time that is usually most stressful being able to rely on Godley Law firm has made this such a breeze. Definitely recommend!
I recommend this law firm for your legal services. I have used them for my legal services and was very impressed and pleased with my results. Each person in the office is very friendly and helpful.
Over my more than 25-year career in the legal profession, I have served as a Louisiana assistant attorney general, and I was in private practice prior to establishing my law firm. In my practice of family law at the Godley Law Firm, I work hard on behalf of my clients and focus on their needs and goals. I help them find common ground toward agreement when they cannot see any compromise.
