GAINESVILLE, GA, July 09, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Candace M. Williams has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Ms. Williams has established herself as a distinguished attorney with a focus on domestic relations, divorce, alimony, collaborative family law, child custody and cohabitation agreements. Her journey of more than 20 years in the legal profession began with her education at Brenau Women's College in Gainesville, where she graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in political science and history in 1997. She further honed her legal acumen by earning a Juris Doctor from Mississippi College School of Law in 2002. Her academic achievements laid a strong foundation for her subsequent career, which is also marked by her discipline and strong faith.

Ms. Williams' professional journey commenced with her admission to the Georgia State Bar, the Supreme Court of Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals and the United States District Court Northern District of Georgia in 2003. Though she worked as a real estate and criminal lawyer for a year, she realized her passion laid elsewhere and pursued a path in the field of family law. As fate would have it, she received an opportunity to practice in her hometown of Gainesville, Georgia, and became the first female partner at Coleman, Chambers, Rogers & Williams after serving there for four years.

After managing the firm's family law department for more than 15 years, Ms. Williams embarked on a new chapter in 2017 by establishing her own practice, Candace M. Williams, P.C., where she has thrived as a sole practitioner ever since. Managing a staff of six and overseeing a caseload of approximately 80 clients, she expertly navigates the complexities of mediation and trial preparation while maintaining direct communication with her clients. Widely praised for her attention to detail, determination to find the truth and dedication to helping children, she has established a strong reputation as one of the premier family law attorneys in Georgia. Serving through her own firm has also allowed her to achieve a work-life balance that had proved elusive during her previous roles.

Determined to stay aware of the latest developments and best practices in family law, Ms. Williams is actively involved in organizations such as the State Bar of Georgia, the American Bar Association, the Gainesville-Northeastern Bar Association, Equine Bar and Alpha Chi Omega. As past president of Young Lawyers in the Northeastern Judicial Circuit, she has demonstrated leadership and dedication to advancing the profession. Her devotion to achieving successful outcomes has been recognized through numerous accolades, including being named a Top 10 Family Lawyer in the State of Georgia by Distinguished Lawyers of Georgia in 2023 and consistently recognized as a Superlawyer from 2017 to 2023.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Ms. Williams is deeply engaged in civic activities. She is a member of the Gainesville Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce and volunteers with Gateway House. Additionally, she serves as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and is on the board of the Humane Society, reflecting her determination to advocate for children in need of care and social services through the court system.

Looking toward the future, Ms. Williams aspires to share her knowledge and experience by teaching at local colleges or law schools. She is passionate about mentoring interns and aims to educate future lawyers on both the legal intricacies and business aspects of the profession. Her goal is to inspire students to pursue their legal careers with dedication and equip them with an understanding of the entrepreneurial side of being an attorney.

Happily married and a proud mother of one daughter and two adult stepchildren, Ms. Williams cherishes spending quality time with her family and enjoys outdoor activities, attending concerts, exercising, decorating her home and designing glamorous Christmas trees. Her ability to balance her personal interests and family life with her professional responsibilities underscores her achievement of the stability she sought when establishing Candace M. Williams, P.C.
