Ms. Williams enrolled in Law School after her brother's painful trial and incarceration. He is the Only Son of 5 children. She earned academic recognition in Trial Practice and other areas of Law, and was chosen by the graduating class as Commencement Speaker. After two standing ovations for her speech, "Lead Through Service," Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi stood before the entire assembly and offered her a job.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Rawsi had over 20 years healthcare clinical and management experience beginning in the Army, and is still a Registered Nurse. She comes from a family of retired and prior-service military Veterans. While on active duty stationed in FT Sill, OK, the Army awarded her a Nursing scholarship to pursue her B.S.N. at Tuskegee University. She became Tuskegee Army ROTC's first female Ranger, and later first female Sergeant Major. She holds many health care credentials including approved Nurse CEU provider by the FL, D.C., New Mexico, and West Virginia Boards of Nursing, CPR Instructor, prior College Adjunct professor, Alzheimer's instructor, Risk Manager, and is Florida's only attorney who is also a Certified ALF Administrator, state-approved Assisted Living Facility Core Trainer, and Adult Family Care Home Core Trainer. She is also the exclusive author of the Certified Long-Term Care Legal Nurse Consultant (CLCLNC) credential. She continues to provide state-and Board-approved training in our online Caduceus Gavel center, as well as consulting and chart reviews for attorneys and health care organizations.
Ms. Williams is admitted in State and Federal courts. She has successfully represented multiple clients statewide. Her office intentionally serves you in targeted Practice Areas which affected her life professionally and personally. This means she brings not only textbook knowledge, but personal insight to her passionate fight for You. Her attorney peers elected her Chairperson of the National Bar Association's Administrative Law section and retain her as Expert Witness, Co-Counsel, and Consultant (see their reviews on our "Results" page). The Miami-Dade Public Defender's office recognized her for participating in its volunteer criminal defense attorney program representing its clients at no charge, for which she has never lost a case. She is the recipient of the 2019 "Human Rights Advocate of the Year" Award from Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., of which she is not a member so their selection of her was truly humbling. She served as Faculty Presenter and Panel Moderator for the Florida Bar Health Law's Ethics and Fundamentals Conference, Keynote Speaker for the Florida Association of Directors of Nursing Administrators (F.A.D.O.N.A.) Conference, and as Presiding Judge for the American Association of Justice's Law School Regional Moot Court/Mock Trial Competition. She volunteers in many professional and community organizations, and has instructed legal education with excellent reviews where both Attorneys and Judges were learners.
Due to the pain and vulnerability her family suffered from her brother's trial and incarceration, Rawsi knows firsthand how it feels to be on the other side of the desk. Accordingly, she fights hard for you! She is known as "The Messenger" for the power of her sermonic voice combined with her humble yet direct ability to blatantly expose the underlying issues. Her diverse clientele have written testimonials, sent referrals, flowers, and thank-you letters praising her representation (see "Results" page). She has succeeded in obtaining overwhelming financial award where other civil attorneys reasoned the case had no or nominal value, successfully defended clients in criminal cases where others encouraged them to enter plea deals, vigorously defended in Administrative Law egregious or unlawful school discipline against children and represented the professional licenses of nurses, school employees, and police officers (even though she also takes civil rights cases against officers depending on the facts), represented or advised clients in sexual assault cases, and won cases that others thought were unwinnable. She seeks the Truth of righteous judgment no matter where that line falls. The Attorneys working with her office share that fight and bring over 100 combined years of legal and Trial experience.
