My major interests outside of work are my family including three children, one adorable (if I may say so myself) grandson and a large, friendly, not very bright black labrador retriever, not necessarily in that order.. I am a runner, although not a very fast one, but I benefit from a dwindling number of competitors in my age group on the theory that if I can't get faster, at least I can get older.. I enjoy traveling and have been honored to lead groups of family law professionals to South Africa, Vietnam and Cambodia, Rwanda and Cuba.  Finally, for 11 weekends every fall (12 if they make a bowl game), I am intensly concerned that the Wisconsin Badgers do not fall back on the old habits from the days I went to school there - all wins are welcome.

I can call myself a family litigation specialist because I exclusively handle cases that affect your family. I differentiate myself from other attorneys in my communication and advocacy style.. CommunicationYou would be shocked to learn that most litigators are terrible communicators. Apparently, they do not return their clients’ phone calls, ignore emails, and fail to meet with their clients prior to the next court date. Their clients end up in life-changing litigation completely stressed out because they do not know the status of their case. I know this to be true because I have two types of clients. The first who meet with me prior to filing any lawsuit and want to do it right. The second who hired these other attorneys and are completely frustrated with their case.. I will never understand this trend because attorneys talk for a living so who are these practitioners talking to if not their own clients? I view myself as not just a counselor and advocate but as a stress-reducer. The best way to reduce a client’s stress is with robust and effective communication. You are not in court every week like I am. This may be your first and only appearance before a Judge. The best way to get you through this process as painless as possible is to make sure you know exactly what to expect, say, and do.. AdvocacyAt the end of the day, I’m going to get you court orders that affect your life, not mine. This is your case. I am a tool to get you from where you are to where you want to be. Afterwards, if you never want to see me again professionally – great – that’s the goal.. Because this is your case, children, finances, etc., I am not going to tell you what to do. Lazy and arrogant attorneys tell their clients what to accept as an outcome as if they alone know what is best for all situations. I’m going to tell you what I think is reasonable, what your Judge may do, and what could be your best and worst case scenario, but ultimately you will decide on where to compromise and which issue(s) to litigate.. The Twin PillarsThese twin pillars of my practice are meant to shift the focus away from the attorney and back on the client. Most attorneys (and, therefore, law firms) care far too much about themselves. They spend inordinate amounts of money on the flowers in their foyer (true story), what kind of car they drive, or who has the “better office.”. You know who doesn’t care about that stuff? Your children. Who else? The Judge of your case. In today’s technology-forward society, you may only physically go to your attorney’s office once or twice in the entire case.

Practice Areas: Family, Child Custody, Child Support, Divorce

Milwaukee lawyer Chelsea L. Williamson’s primary motivation in practicing family law is to help people in especially trying situations.. Emotions are heightened in family law cases, so Ms. Williamson provides her clients with a source of stability and always looks out for their best interest.. “Family law was appealing because of the combination of the legal aspect with the therapeutic aspect,” Ms. Williamson said. “So many of our clients just want someone to listen to them and tell them that their feelings are valid.”. Ms. Williamson has the unique ability to both listen and empathize. At the end of the day, she is honest about the situation facing each of her clients, but she also always is available if they simply need to vent.. “I believe I am able to connect with clients and let them know that I hear what they feel and what they want and that I understand where they are coming from,” Ms. Williamson said. “Even what they feel or want is legally not in their best interest, I want them to know that I understand and will help guide them to the best possible solution.. “The legal process works at its own pace, but it will all come together in the end. I’m here to help them 100% of the way even beyond the pleadings and the court hearings. I am here to listen to their concerns, help them figure out what they ultimately want and do the stressing and the worrying for them. I am also here to make sure they are not taken advantage of.”
