About Williams & Varsegi, LLC
Williams & Varsegi, LLC is a boutique divorce and family law firm in Boca Raton, Florida, founded by attorneys Emerald Williams and Katie Varsegi. Family law is the only kind of law we practice. Our clients come to us at some of the hardest moments of their lives, and we have built our firm around giving them steady guidance, honest advice, and attorneys who know their case inside and out. We represent families throughout Palm Beach and Broward County in everything from straightforward uncontested matters to high-conflict, high-asset litigation.
Everything Family Law Because Family Is Everything
Our motto is more than a tagline. It describes how we practice. Both of our founding partners began their careers advocating for children in Florida’s courts, and that experience still shapes the way we approach every case. We look at the whole family, not just the legal issue in front of us, because the decisions made in a divorce or custody case affect parents and children for years to come. When you work with our firm, you work directly with an experienced attorney who takes the time to understand your goals and builds a strategy around them.
We use collaborative principles whenever possible to help clients reach fair agreements without the cost and emotional strain of a trial. When settlement is not realistic, we are fully prepared to go to court and advocate hard for our clients. That balance of negotiation and trial experience is what allows us to handle a wide range of matters, including divorce in Boca Raton, timesharing and parental responsibility, alimony, child support, high net worth divorce cases, paternity matters for parents who were never married, stepparent and foster care adoptions, and modifying or enforcing a final judgment after a divorce is complete.
