The Law Offices of John A. Williams, PLLC
The founder of The Law Offices of John A. Williams, PLLC, attorney John A. Williams has 24 years of experience advising clients with respect to a broad range of elder law issues, including Medicaid asset protection planning, guardianships, estate planning, estate and trust administration, and business planning. He started the firm in 2012 because he was compelled to ensure that he was committed to a firm – his own – that put the client’s best interests above the firm’s interests at all times, even when “inconvenient.” In addition to his love for law, he also is passionate about the business management aspects of running his own growing firm of two attorneys, ten paralegals, and two legal assistants, capitalizing on his entrepreneurial skillset and Business Management degree from the University of Florida (graduating first in his class in 1996, summa cum laude), and his J.D. from the University of Florida College of Law in 2000 (graduating cum laude).
Mr. Williams’ Medicaid planning and guardianship practice extends throughout Florida, and his expertise and creative ability to solve complex Medicaid planning problems allow for a great number of success stories for his clients, saving them most if not all their life savings, while simultaneously obtaining Medicaid benefits. So the days of having to spend down all a client’s resources just to obtain Medicaid benefits are over; the misconception that Medicaid assistance is only for the impoverished or those willing to part with all their money is simply not true.
In addition to handling garden-variety elder law and Medicaid issues and planning tools, Mr. Williams also is the author and originator of a copyrighted, novel approach to Medicaid planning, in addition to being the founder and operator of a Florida pooled special needs trust company, designed to help disabled individuals obtain Medicaid benefits when more traditional asset protection techniques are not sufficient for whatever reason. This enables a much broader group of clients to be able to obtain benefits, with no defined limit on the value of a person’s assets that can remain intact for the benefit of the client while in a long-term care facility
Due to Mr. Williams’ experience and reputation throughout the State of Florida, Mr. Williams has also served as an expert witness in a variety of court cases on questions regarding trusts, estate planning, and probate administration.
Mr. Williams and his wife Stacey have a pretty interesting and unusual (but fun) home life in Odessa, Florida, with their six children (ranging from ages 7-22), together with 1 spider monkey, 1 camel, 1 sloth, 2 miniature horses, 4 dogs, 4 cats, 3 ferrets, 4 mini pigs, and 20 chickens. He is also active in his church, North Pointe Church in Lutz, Florida.
