"your honor, ms. williams put forth heroic effort to convince me that her client was innocent...to show me he had not committed a crime but made a mistake and had used bad judgment, and had been scammed...and your honor i agree. i nolle prosse (drop) all charges."



---Prosecutor to Judge on Record in Open Court after Ms. Williams had already turned down two plea deal offers on record at two prior court hearings and renewed her demand for Jury Trial. The charges were Felonies and the Client/Defendant was a prior convicted felon.

Rawsi Williams, Esq., R.N.
Attorney | Registered Nurse | Army Veteran.
It's My PURPOSE to Fight for Your Justice.



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. Her attorney peers have retained her as Co-Counsel and Expert Witness, elected her to National Bar Association Chairperson (Administrative Law), and hosted her as KeyNote Speaker for Bar events. The Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office recognized her for representing its clients in its private-attorney volunteer program, of which she's never lost a case. Ms. Williams' interviews and client representation have been seen on/in ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, USA Today, The Grio, WOAK1380AM Atlanta, and in a multitude of additional journal publications. She is the author of the new book "2020 Vision," and is in it to win it for you. Your. case. matters.



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 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. Due to the pain and vulnerability her family suffered from her brother's trial and incarceration, she knows firsthand how it feels to be on the other side of the desk. Accordingly, she fights hard for you! She is known as #TheMessenger" 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, and won cases in her remaining Practice Areas 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. Ms. Williams is not afraid to fight for you. YOU matter.
