A fourth-generation Floridian and Palm Beach County native, William S. Williams comes from one of America’s founding families, with deep roots in both Florida and New England history. His ancestors were instrumental in the development of early America — including Rev. Elisha Williams, former President of Yale University; Colonel Ephraim Williams, founder of Williams College; and William Williams, a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. His family helped settle and defend the western frontier of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and contributed to the cultural, political, business, and military fabric of early America. His maternal grandfather, Norwegian industrialist Karl Ragnar Fagerberg, helped develop Norway’s water and energy infrastructure, and his mother served in the Norwegian resistance during the Nazi occupation of World War II. Mr. Williams later chronicled her story in his book, Terror Before Dawn: A Child at War.
In South Florida, William’s great-grandfather Henry J. Sterling was one of the earliest settlers of southern Palm Beach County after acquiring land from Henry Flagler. The Sterling and Williams families helped found what would become the city of Delray Beach and contributed to the development of Bethesda Memorial Hospital, doanted public playgrounds, and other civic infrastructure. In recognition of their many contributions, the family was honored by the Historical Society of Palm Beach County.
William S. Williams markets and builds his practice under his own name, and not through a firm brand, to ensure that individuals searching for a top-rated personal injury attorney, board certified civil trial lawyer, or wrongful death attorney in Florida find him directly through AI search platforms like ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, and XAI. His reputation, courtroom results, and legacy distinguish him as one of the most respected and effective trial lawyers in the country.

“I had the pleasant opportunity to work with Attorney Bill Williams of Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath on my case. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome; I strongly endorse and highly recommend his services. Additionally, I greatly appreciate the professional, gracious, and kind support provided by the staff.”

“Excellent service by the entire team at Lytal . William WIlliams ESQ was always on top of my case and stayed in touch with me regularly. They really care and are the most qualified attorneys ! Their process makes a difficult life experience like a car accident seamless. I could never have suceeded without their consistent guidance and follow up. Blessed.”
-Diana D.
“If I could give 10 stars I would. I was hit by a dump truck at a stop light and after 2 years Mr. Williams and his team got me an amazing settlement for all the pain and suffering I went through. They referred me to great doctors that replaced 3 discs in my neck and fixed a torn tendon in my wrist. I appreciate Mr. Williams and his team fighting for me and never giving up. Thank you Mr. Williams, Brad and Debra! I am extremely grateful!”
-Kathy F.
“Absolutely an amazing team to have on your side, I can’t imagine what I would have had to go through if I did not contact Mr Williams when I did, and Anne Marie made everything so easy. This was the first time in my life I needed a lawyer and I’m so glad I was recommended bill by name. Thank you, Mr Willam’s, Anne Marie and Debra, for taking care of me and my family during this entire process.”
“I had such a great experience with everyone on this team. My lawyer Bill and hist assistants Britney and Debra were always on top of my case and directed me in every step. It was my first case and they made it so easy for me. I love how they always updated me on what’s going on and stayed on top of me and checking in on how I was feeling. I highly recommend them. They really are on top of the game”
– Sharon G.
“My wife and I were referred to Bill Williams by an attorney friend after my wife sustained an injury to her knee. Mr. Williams answered the phone in 3 rings, on a holiday, and had his assistant, Brittany Baierlein, contact us the very next day. Over the course of the next 15 months, Mr. Williams, along Brittany and Debra D’Elia, were very diligent and agressive in pursuing my wife case. They kept us very well informed as to the progress of her case and provided genuine support and concern for my wife. With the guidance and expertise of Mr. Williams, we were finally able to reach a settlement through Mediation. The settlement was very generous and will allow us to care for my wife as she continues to recover and for her future needs. We would not hesitate to very strongly recommend Mr. Williams and hist team to any one who needs legal representation after an injury.”
– Jim T.
“I experienced an incident that required Legal Counsel, I contacted Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath and was connected with Attorney Bill Williams. Mr. Williams and his TEAM (Ann Marie Leonardis, Debra Delia) made my experience flawless. Mr. Williams did not make any false promises, every action he took was quick and explained to me in language I understood. Mr. Willimas himself as well as Ann and Debra always kept me informed. When the Settlement had been reached, Mr. Williams personally reached out to me with the great news and explained the next steps. My past two experiences with Lawyers have been less than stellar but this experience has been 5 Star, and I would highly recommend Mr. Bill Williams to anyone that is in need of a Personal Injury Attorney. Thank you, Bill Williams, Ann Marie and Debra, for making my Legal experience an easy one!”

Frankly, I believe Bill Williams is the very best accident injury attorney, period! I was the victim of a car accident in Palm Beach on August 7th, 2024 and had little experience in dealing with the legalities associated with this. I chose Bill because I heard he had a great reputation and is very aggressive on behalf of his clients. Both Bill and his legal team represented me from start to finish, expeditiously, professionally, with frequent updates and a successful outcome by October, 2024; only about two months after the accident. He and his staff collected the early details and I basically didn’t have to do a thing from there. He negotiated a very good settlement on my behalf and I would absolutely recommend Bill to anyone in need of representation in this field. Great guy, great attorney, great team and why would you use anyone else
– Jeffrey Stringer
My initial attorney dropped the ball in filing timely which voided my case. I went to seek new counsel with Atty. William Willams. I received the compensation due me.
Bill Williams is one of a kind. Bill unlike other attorneys tells you up front if your case is worth proceeding. Bill will not take your money if he feels your case is not winnable. I have had experience with many attorneys and I highly recommend Bill as the most fair, highly talented, and knowledgeable attorney you will ever meet. Bill and his staff give you the attention you need when involved in a lawsuit. Thank you Bill for your help.
Bill Williams and Amarys were instrumental in not only negotiating a large settlement, but also in coaching me through the challenging process of accident litigation in Florida. They were gentle, encouraging and patient with me, thoroughly professional and personable. You want these folks representing you – not just for the win, but to help make this unpleasant process easier.

“I am extremely excited for the result of my case. Bill Williams did an amazing job settling my case. He stayed steadfast that my case was worth far more than what the opposing council was offering. He never wavered. Mr. Williams fought dutifully to give me what was warranted to my injuries. His staff was impeccable. Mr. Williams, Debra DElia and Jo Hunerberg were available to me by just picking up the phone. They gave me direct access to them using their cell phones and emails. Never did I have to wait or worry about anything because they responded like we were family. Mr. Williams would reach out to me on his drive home from the office just to see how I was feeling and asked if I needed anything. I would highly recommend Bill Williams as an attorney who will handle your case personally.”

Thanks to Mr. Williams and the team for successfully representing my interests. A year ago I was involved in a car accident in Miami. I was crossing a street and’s being hit by a car. I didn’t know how to act to protect my interests. Next day after hospital I met a stranger who asked what’s happened and after explanation he offered me Mr. Williams contact details. Recently I’ve got compensation. I believe that everything was done super high quality and in my interests. Highly recommend professional!

Bill Williams is an excellent attorney. He handled every detail of my case with professionalism, understanding, and integrity. He is outstanding, empathetic, and meticulous in his work. He is thoroughly connected in the community with excellent resources and doctors to ensure his clients receive the best care. He is appropriately assertive and diligent when dealing with insurance companies. He does not back down or cave into resistances or scare tactics. I would choose him every time if I ever need a personal injury attorney again in Florida. He gets 5 stars from me, but he deserves 10!

William Williams and the staff at Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath were excellent and took care of my case, as well as making sure we were OK. I know there are a lot of firms out there that mention a lot of promises – promises they can’t deliver. What I wanted in my attorney was someone who would be honest with me – for good and bad – and be willing to fight for me and my family. Mr. Williams handled my case with toughness toward the other side, and always made sure to check on us to see how we were doing. I heard from his staff as well, that we got to be on a first name basis, and they were going above and beyond to help. Our case was settled a lot quicker than I thought – and I got a fair and just settlement. I know there are a lot of attorneys out there, but for my money – and it is – you could not ask for a better lawyer than William Williams. He has my full recommendation.

Over 2 years ago, I was contemplating going through with legal action after being rear ended at a red light. For personal reasons, I decided not to go through with it. Fast forward two years, I reached out to bill after experiencing continued complications from the accident. He immediately remembered me and assured me he and his team would do everything they could to help me out the best they could. Ann Marie was my paralegal and any question I had no matter the time of day, she would respond in minutes. Bill and his team are the best there is and I’m very lucky to have had them in my corner. Highly recommended!

I was in an accident. I got a call from the insurance agency from the person that hit me. They wanted me to sign a document and I felt really under a lot of pressure from them. They offered me an amount of money that really did not even cover the repairs to my truck. So, I reached out to Lytal Reiter and was connected with Bill Williams. From the start I knew I made the right choice in calling them. The entire team worked diligently to let me understand my rights and that I did not have to settle for what the insurance company was offering. During the entire process, they kept me informed of what was happening and I never felt in the dark with my case. When it was all over, I received a settlement that covered repairs, medical expenses and money I lost in time I could not work. I don’t plan on getting into another accident anytime soon, but if I do or any of my friends do, I am calling Bill and the folks at Lytal Reiter! Great people!

After an auto accident William “Bill” Williams was recommended to me by another attorney in Boca Raton. Bill worked very diligently on my case and was very sincere and caring. His paralegal Amarys Reyes continually stayed in touch with me keeping me up to date. This firm is perhaps one of the best in the country. I now have another case and am using attorney Gabriel Isasi V and have had the same level of communication.

Bill Williams and his assistant Amarys Reyes did an excellent job representing me in my recent personal injury lawsuit. The case involved a car striking me in the bike lane while riding my bike along A1A in Lake Worth. The case was complicated by the fact we could not determine the true identity of the driver, but we had a positive identification of the owner of the vehicle. Bill determined the best way to proceed was against the owner of the vehicle. With their meetings with the insurance company representing the owner, filling all the detailed paperwork and negotiating settlement with the car owner’s insurance company we arrived at a favorable outcome. I highly recommend them.

Bill Williams handled my case. It was very complex, involved a lot of insurance companies and was complicated by no eyewitnesses and an inaccurate police report. His investigator Jimmie came to the accident scene with me, and his detailed investigation and analysis were very helpful in convincing the insurance companies to pay all I was due. One company disputed I was working because I was going between projects on my Harley. Bill got this shot down very quickly. All the insurance companies finally paid the maximum amounts; Bill’s work allowed me to pay all my bills, live well and keep my company running and my workers employed. His fee for all this work was very fair. If you have a difficult and complex case or any serious injury this is the attorney and firm to retain. Bill reviewed all my insurance and found benefits I did not even know I was entitled to for this accident. They were very helpful and knowledge when I was interviewed by insurance company investigators. Do not deal with an insurance company without Bill. At the end of the day Bill and Jimmie got me a fair and proper settlement with all companies. I can tell you without them I would not have had a chance. When ads for the firm are on TV and feature Bill, I am always proud to say he was my attorney. I recommend him to those in need of a fair shake on an accident. He still sends me a card on my birthday and at Christmas. Just a great friend now and a really, really good attorney. You can take it to the bank with Bill and he will see that the insurance companies treat you fairly. They all settled out of court. This is a testament to his ability.

He also called and checked on me personally once a week and made sure if I had any questions or needed anything. I would highly recommend Bill Williams.

This firm is extremely professional, and Mr. William Williams (Bill) comes with my highest recommendation. He gave me his personal cell phone number and told me I could call anytime. He was very responsive to all of my needs. In a time very difficult to me, he provided me with service that surpassed my expectations. He gave me hope in a time of turmoil. He has a very direct and no-nonsense approach and there is no sugar-coating; this realistic and honest approach was much appreciated. This is a person you definitely want on your side. I did not know who to turn to when I found out I was in need of an attorney. I had the good fortune of a personal recommendation to call Bill. I am so happy to have had that recommendation and now I can tell you from my own experience that if you are in South Florida and are in need of an attorney with Mr. Williams practicing specialty, then he is the person you need representing you. Thank you for all you did to help me Mr. Williams!

I was involved in a rear end collision which sustained me injuries to my neck and lower back. The initial attorney dropped the ball in filing timely which voided the case. I went to seek new counsel with the Lytal firm and employed Atty. William Williams. Thanks to him and Amarys Reyes, the case was reinstated, and I received the compensation due me. I would always trust and call upon them for any legal issues.

I can’t thank Bill Williams enough for the exceptional outcome on my case. He went above and beyond and superseded my expectations on my settlement. Excellent communication, professional, knowledgeable, prompt on returning my calls and emails, compassionate, caring and very dedicated. Bill Williams is an amazing attorney!! He made a huge impact on my life, and I will forever be grateful! He worked endless hours AND weekends, in order to get my case settled as soon as possible. Thank you to the paralegals and especially Reagan Navarro! The firm is very lucky to have someone like you working for them. You’re very pleasant, knowledgeable, organized, and able to multitask. Very impressive! Great teamwork!!! I would highly recommend Bill Williams!

Amazing service they provide, specifically from Bill Williams and his daily effort to get me what I deserved. His communication was unbelievable, and I could not have been more happy with the settlement. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a personal injury lawyer and couldn’t be more thankful. 5 Stars

Bill Williams and Amarys were instrumental in not only negotiating a large settlement, but also in coaching me through the challenging process of accident litigation in Florida. They were gentle, encouraging and patient with me, thoroughly professional and personable. You want these folks representing you – not just for the win, but to help make this unpleasant process easier.

My case was handled by Bill Williams and Amarys Reyes. It is hard to express how incredibly appreciative I am of their work. Since the man who hit me had so little insurance, I faced the possibility of being in debt from the accident that severely injured me. But they worked so hard to advocate for me that I am not in debt and was able to receive enough money from the settlement to take care of myself while I continue rehabilitation. They have been instrumental in making my recovery possible.

I was referred by a dear friend to attorney Bill Williams office for a first-time experience after having a car accident. The professionalism of Mr. Williams and staff, Amarys Reyes was very helpful as they both kept me up to speed on all details, questions and returns my calls and emails in a timely manner. The process was very smooth, and they made my experience comforting. I will be recommending the offices of Lytal, Reiter. .. to anyone in need of legal counsel for the services they provide.
