After having 'buyers remorse' with two other attorneys, we were very great-full to find Charles Willmott. His ability to get straight to the point and bring about a successful result in our modification to final judgement was a blessing!

I am one if the lucky ones to have had such a great lawyer for my divorce .I was hopeless and afraid. Charles eliminated all these emotions and gave me comfort and hope . He exceeded my expectations to the point I thought I was taking advantage of him and the additional time and service he was providing me . My out come was favorable and the cost even for all the extra calls, time, and effort did not change. He fought hard for me and the results showed it . If you don't select him and your wife or husband does, your experience and results are goung to have you regret that desicion . This was my second divorce and I can state as fact if I had known about Charles then I would be in a better place financialy and emotionally.

Divorce is a highly emotional trauma to go through. I was so disappointed with the first firm I used (Adsum,they should be avoided ).I looked at reviews online and I contacted Mr. Wilmott`s office and from the first contact I was totally at ease and felt like I was being listened to and more importantly, understood.After switching over, it became even more apparrent how poorly I had been represented before, as I was very quickly involved in the process and I was kept fully informed and helped with every step of the way.The thing I found most helpful was how to fill out the forms and what the lawyers would fill out on my behalf.As I would guess, most people would go through this just once so we have zero experience with this process.I was left to my own devices by the first firm, but with Charles and Jackie I felt from minute one that I was in very safe hands and this proved to bethe case. My case was settled at mediation, but had it gone to the court I always felt that I would be safe and my interests looked after.It was interesting when Charles and I appeared before the Judge for the final hearing, She made a point of thanking him for being so prepared. That spoke volumes as far as I was concerned.Go nowhere else if you need a professional to look after you.I would totally recommend Charles and Jackie Wilmott. I feel that it is important to recognize that it is a team effort and apart from being excellent at their jobs, they are truly nice people. I actually enjoyed the interaction. It seems like an odd thing to say about a divorce, but it certainly made my experienc of divorce a far less painful process than it could have been.Thank you.

After 15 years of marriage and three children, I never thought I would be faced with an impending divorce. Mr. Willmott handled my case professionally and expediently. Jackie was very compassionate and empathetic. They helped to lessen the negative emotions associated with an otherwise painful experience.

Charles is a very impressive attorney! I was a mess the first day I met with him; he immediately put my mind at ease and explained the different outcomes my divorce may have had. He's extremely knowledgeable, up front, and honest. His no nonsense approach is a rarity in his field and was exactly what I needed to get my divorce settled. He made a difficult process bearable and he helped me get a much better settlement than I originally anticipated. I could never thank him enough!

Charles is an outstanding lawyer and I'm glad i was able to retain his services for my divorce. He takes time to understand your unique situation and works together with you to get the best outcome. In my initial meeting with him he didn't sugarcoat anything and gave me realistic possible outcomes for my case. That is one of the main reasons I went with him. I would rather be told straight up what I'm facing versus someone who just tells me what i want to hear. Also, If you have any questions, he responds very promptly and If he doesn't have the answer on him he will find it for you. If you're facing a divorce you can't go wrong picking Charles, I'm very pleased with how I was represented.

Charles Willmott is definitely an attorney I recommend if you are seeking a family law or divorce attorney in Jacksonville. He is extremely professional even when certain parties are in emotional duress based on the circumstances. He has a process. He does not run up your bill on unnecessary paperwork and throughout the entire divorce process I felt as if he was working toward and making recommendations that supported my desired end result. Charles is extremely 'real' with his clients. I felt informed on possible outcomes regardless if it was what I wanted to hear. One recommendation I have is that if you feel you need check-ins or sanity updates on your case, then don't be afraid to ask for those because if nothing is going on, it's not like he's going to reach out and ask if you are doing 'okay.' That's not his job. However, if you want to vent, his assistant is awesome for a quick sanity rant. I won't be getting married ever again but if I did, I would have no problem hiring Charles for a second divorce.

My experience with Mr. Willmott was outstanding. He understands Florida family law and will provide sound legal advice and representation. His legal mind is sharp, his arguments in court are articulate, and he's well-respected by judges. He will listen to your concerns and advise you accordingly. I highly recommend him over the 'men only' firms.

Mr. Willmott is the consummate professional. He laid out all options, provided his opinion on what was realistic, and was helpfully aggressive in the mediation process. He helped me get to a very reasonable solution to a situation that had seemed almost impossible to handle.He keeps your interests at the forefront- so don't worry (I did, and didn't need to... but I didn't tell him that), rest easy knowing that he will obtain the best and most reasonable results for you. He's not out to gouge you or drive up costs- he keeps your financial interests in mind (you should too). I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any military member getting a divorce: he's knowledgeable and thorough.

Mr. Willmott made it very easy to separate emotions and business oriented goals within the divorce process. He was always upfront and set realistic expectations. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be prepared for a successful 'life after divorce'.

I had the good fortune to meet Charles Willmott at a not so good time in my life. I was blindsided by divorce after decades of marriage. I turned to one of those 'men's rights' firms only to find they are more interested in billing hours than results. In fact, I began to feel they were not interested in the facts of my case at all, just the process.It occurred to me that I would be better served by a smaller firm. I sought out such a firm and met Charles and I'm so pleased I did. I knew immediately from our first meeting that things would be different. He listened to all I had to say and he advised. He talked sense when I was stubborn but he made sure I was in charge. In half the time and cost I invested before meeting him, Charles successfully protected my assets and got the result I was ultimately seeking. I would recommend him to anyone in need of family legal help.

Hiring Mr. Willmott was a great decision. I've worked with several lawyers over the years dealing with divorce/custody issues and he provided the best, most professional service by far. I cannot write a strong enough recommendation, better representation simply isn't possible.

I had initially hired one of the 'Men Only' divorce firms - What a mistake. My extraordinarily stable ex had hired an asshat attorney friend to represent her, but his lack of experience made proceedings ridiculous and unnecessarily lengthy - he would have undoubtedly made Kramer's (Seinfeld) attorney 'Jackie Chiles' very proud. After spending a fortune at the Men Only firm, and probably paying for a few billboards - Enough was enough. I was just a number at a divorce factory. Charles and Jackie were phenomenal to deal with. Knowledgeable, connected, professional, and really very cool people to have handling things at one of life's worst times. Charles was able to facilitate the handling of proceedings expeditiously and efficiently. If I'm ever stupid enough to get married again - I'm having Charles put together a prenup for sure!

Charles did a great job for me. He was hardworking, diligent, and always responsive to my desires. I had a relatively straightforward case, and Charles never tried to ratchet up the antagonism level in order to bill more. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Willmott is a true professional. From the very onset, I felt comfortable talking to him and felt confident with his judgment. His gives advice that is sound and to the point. One of his strong points is his communication with the client. He constantly kept me informed of my case and did it via e-mails instead of the slow paper trail. He was always available when I needed him and there were never any long wait periods in his communication back to me. I highly recommend him to anyone needing his representation.

I was highly impressed with Mr. Willmott's professionalism, attention to detail, and honesty while he represented me during my court case. His knowledge of specific case law proved to be successful in winning my case. From the beginning he kept me updated on what to expect during the process and I never felt he drew out the time or overestimated his billing. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Charles Willmott is an amazing attorney. Twice I've needed him to help with a child custody case and lengthy divorce case 10 years later. He would always make sure that my children's needs are priority. Highly recommend him!!! Everyone that comes in contact with him knows he is knowledgable and honest!

I just to want to say how thankful I am to Mr. Willmott for the job he did with my custody case. Once I hired him he was very quick, very efficient, and very thorough. I was very stressed about hiring a lawyer because I dont live in the jacksonville area, but Mr. Willmott did an excellent job of handling my case and keeping me informed of the situation. Also, Jackie is very nice and an absolute pleasure to speak with. This man is by far the best lawyer in Jacksonville! Thanks so much Mr. Willmott.

Looking for a family law issue and found him to be so down to earth and caring and very attentive. He was aggressive when necessary and always made me feel comfortable with the attention my case was receiving. His staff was exceptional and I always felt fully informed and involved Mr.Willmott is very honest and respectful person. He will go to the end for you. He is a very hard working lawyer that really cares about the person he is defending. I would have been lost if not for his expertise and guidance. He listened to what I had to say and answered all my questions. I strongly recommend Mr.Willmott to anyone looking for a family lawyer.

I have not had to deal with Mr. Willmott for any more than an introductory phone call, that being said, he was very personable, informative, and overall easy to speak with. Should I need assistance with a legal matter under his expertise - I would not hesitate for one minute to contact him.~Bethany from Colorado

I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Willmott and his office. The staff were very friendly and helpful and punctual.Mr. Willmott was, to say the least, amazing. I always felt he had my best interests at heart, and fought for me every step of the way. He is also very honest and forthcoming with his expectations, which I also greatly appreciated. Mr. Willmott was always punctual in returning my calls and emails, and I knew I could ask him anything and I would get an honest and timely response. Amazing attorney and office. I would recommend him and his office, and I will definitely use him again if any situation arises.

I hire mr willmott base on his google reviews.. i thougt he could help me with my case i put all my trust in his hands. im very dissapointed did not get not a sigle thing i was whishing for. He make me believe he was in control but really to me it was a waste of money... i think discussing a case and adding number and ask all the questions infront of the mediation lady isnt profesional at all. All questions should have been ask on its right time and an answer should have been planned too. It make me believe my case wasnt even study and review by a real lawyer...if i ever hAd to hire a lawyer he would be the last in my list never again!!.

I called around many offices just to get some advice on my situation. Charles Willmott actually talked me through different scenarios over the phone before hiring him. At that point I knew I was going with him.He made himself readily available via email, phone, and in person. He won my case for me. If I have any future issues, I wouldn't hesitate to return back to his office.

Charles was a God send for me through my divorce. He was so sweet, and kind to me but very intimidating to the other party. he didn't play games, he was straight to the point, VERY PROFESIONAL. I am a mother of two children and had assets, that I needed to be protected, I filed in August and my divorce was signed and done by November. He is a diligent worker, and truly cares about your well being. He discusses everything with you first to make you comfortable and aware of what is going on. Also his assistant Jackie was another God send. She is the sweetest lady in the world. She answered any and all questioned I had if Charles was out of the office. She helped me fill out my paper work, and walked me through it all. She provided guidance and made me feel very welcome. Both of them really make you feel cared for and taken care of. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't have Charles Willmott as my attorney. I received everything I wanted out of my divorce, I was more than VERY PLEASED with him. Words cannot describe how blessed I feel for his diligence with my case. Thank you so much Mr.Willmott and Mrs.Jackie :)

Charles Willmott is by far the best attorney in the Jacksonville area! Going through a divorce can be very stressful, emotional, and very overwhelming. Mr. Willmott put my mind at ease and was there to answer any questions I had, with a quick and honest response. When it came down to getting my divorce finalized in a quick and painless manner, Charles definitely over exceeded my expectations! I would absoultely recommend Charles to anyone wanting/needing to start a Family Law case! Thank you Charles for making this a painless experience! :)

The minute you sense an impending divorce battle do yourself a favor and hire Mr.Willmott. You don't want to take the chance that your opponent will hire him first. He will go above and beyond to make sure you are well represented. He truly goes the extra mile and cares about his clients, unlike most attorneys. The outcome is as important to him as it is to you. You can rest assured he will fight to get you the best deal possible! An outstanding attorney! Ive always had this idea that the divorce process was the nastiest experience one could ever go through, but I can say with all certainty that Mr.Willmott made the experience tolerable, and informative. Through good communication, and an extensive knowledge of the law, Willmott was able to guide me though all of the steps of the divorce process, and tell me what to anticipate. He prepared me, in detail, for the unexpected on the stand, by going over all possible scenarios, which gave me confidence. In addition to his excellent lawyering abilities, his staff Jackie was also highly organized, and very competent. So, If you are looking for an integrated place go to Willmott office. His assistant Jackie will always comfort you and try to understand the emotional issues. Quote: 'Divorce is like a death of love. Even if you're the one who initiated the divorce, you will still grieve. This is because you are not only mourning the loss of your marriage, you are also grieving the loss of your hopes and dreams, the belief of what you thought your life was going to look like' Cindy Holbrook. So, Jackie will always be there for you and on the top of your case. At the same place, you will have an attorney that completely understands the process, keeps you involved as things happen, can be reached almost any time, and who aggressively gets things done.Finally, I rarely take time to post online reviews but my experience with Willmott family has been outstanding that I want to do whatever I can to help other people find the best attorney in Jacksonville.

Everyone knows that preparation for a high stress court proceeding causes strain on a person. I am so blessed to have had Mr. Willmott assisting me over the last few months. Before meeting Mr. Willmott, I had struggled for years trying to get resolution on previous court orders that were not being followed by my former spouse. I interviewed several attorneys before meeting Mr. Willmott and I knew after the first meeting that he was the attorney for my particular situation. He was professional and confident while also being kind and understanding. He was transparent with his intentions and showed a true desire to help get my previous court orders corrected and back in line.and he did just that. I highly recommend him!!

Charles Willmott is the right choice for a family law attorney when two (2) parties can't quite work things out and need a diplomatic point of view. From a very personal experience; Charles is good at mediating...even when opposing counsel is extremely difficult and maybe even unethical in an attempt to 'win at all costs.' Charles is keenly aware that children usually get hurt the most and does his best to resolve issues with the children's best interests in mind.I have recommended Charles to several friends...none have ever regretted contacting him for advice. Good legal advice is not cheap, but I can't tell you how many times Charles has offered me suggestions without sending me a bill the next day.Hiring a lawyer is a huge decision. Consult Charles Willmott before you retain a lawyer. He will clearly explain your legal options, what his fees are and the reasonable outcome(s) that can be expected.JBR

Mr Willmott represented me in my divorce. He took the time to get the facts of the case with very short notice. I am grateful to have Mr Willmott continue to represent me with ongoing issues and know that he will continue to work diligently in protecting the rights of myself and my children. I highly recommend Mr Willmott to handle your divorce or custody case.

As most people who seek legal counsel, I found myself getting divorced, stressed out, and worried about my assets, kids, and future. I didnt trust the law firms that advertise on the TV and radio. A friend of mine had who had endured a similar fate referred me to Mr. Willmott. From our first visit he put me at ease and gave it to me straight. Told me upfront how much things would cost and what I could reasonably expect from the courts. Mr. Willmott is NOT the type of attorney that is going to pick a fight with your soon to be ex-spouses attorney just so that he can jack up the bill. (believe me those type of attorneys are out there). He has made himself available for questions and phone calls without adding to the bill. Also his website has tons of useful info. As I told Mr. WillmottI hope I will never need his services againbut I would certainly come back to him if I did. A true professional with a solid reputation.

In April of 2014 my husband and I decided to end our 18 year marriage uncontested. Handling it on my own at first the process became must more daunting then originally thought. Situations had changed drastically in a short period of time and the 'cut and dry' approach was no longer an option. With overwhelming heartbreak I became emotionally paralyzed and sought legal advice from three local divorce attorneys. One of which was Charles E. Willmott. In comparison Charles was forth coming, very straight forward, considerate to the individual case, gave the attention needed without any time clock and immediately made me feel relief that I could trust my families future in his hands without question. He became my family law divorce attorney that very day. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders so that I could focus on our three children helping them through the life change instead of increasing the stress with legal matters. Conversations thru email and over the phone happened frequently. I was embarrassed about my neediness for advice yet never once did Charles or his amazing paralegal Jackie (who is also his wife by the way) made me feel that any question I had or advice requested was minimal and with every new 'situation' that happened it was handled immediately, professionally, proactively with success even when opposing counsel was eager to make a name for himself selfishly. Charles was in every instance with the opposing counsel spot on, clear, concise and remained the professional throughout while at the same time deflating opposing counsels overemphasized ego to the extent that my soon to be ex-husband was so highly impressed with Charles mediation skills he wanted to release HIS counsel and have the three of us proceed without. So now that it appears I have wrote a book...... the out come of my divorce proceedings was everything that my ex husband and I could have wished for and some. Charles and Jackie walked with my children and I every step of the way to the extent of even thinking of things and promoting things that I did not have the emotional stamina for nor had considered. In the end of our legal journey it was a win win for for all parties involved but most in importantly for the children. Quote: 'Divorce does not have to be nasty. When you take the emotion out of it and keep the children's best interest a priority no one looses.' Charles E. Wilmlmott, P.A. I raise my glass in sincere gratitude to you Charles E. Willmott and Jackie. My only regret was not hiring you sooner! Oh and yes FYI: We are all emotionally groovy now and blessed to have had the both of you always looking out for us. Hugs and smiles all around sent your way. Sincerely, Jennifer Van Wormer/Winters, Colin, Ian and Savannah Winters

Mr Willmott is an exceptional lawyer who handled my difficult modification case and child custody case above my expectations. He was honest and straightforward, worked diligently on my case, and prepared me for trial. His board certification in family law was evident in how he prepared for my case, his knowledge of the law and how the judge interacted with him in court. Mr. Willmott always strived to protect my interest and kept the safety of my children in mind with all interactions. Mr. Willmott exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him highly to anyone needing an ethical lawyer who strives to not only win your case but to protect your interest and your families interest. He is lawyer who not only knows the law but who cares.

A board-certified lawyer with over 20 years of work in the divorce field, Mr. Willmott had the professional experience, recommendations, and credentials I needed. From the get go, we had a good rapport: he was straightforward and impeccably honest in all of his dealings with me. Nothing was sugar coated. He contacted me immediately by e-mail whenever he had information about my case. He was equally as prompt, efficient, and honest in his dealings with the court. During the divorce process, he worked hard and intelligently on my behalf while being completely respectful of the judicial system. His court paperwork was thorough, on time, and well crafted. I highly recommend Mr. Willmott.I would like to do a second review as I have continued to use Mr. Willmott 3 years since my last review. Here it is. Charles Willmott is a dedicated professional who will speak the truth. Mr. Willmott is straightforward with his clients and is willing to listen. He is able to take what at times can be very messy situations and come up with a clear plan of action. He will be honest and open and will always represent his clients with a true sense of professionalism. He does not play dirty and remains a lawyer with the highest of morals. Without question, Charles Willmott is the best. Please do not hesitate to contact him.
