Emerald Williams Named Rising Star in Family Law Five Years Running

Emerald Williams, founding and managing partner of Williams & Varsegi, LLC, has been selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars list in Family Law every year from 2022 through 2026. This recognition places her among Florida’s up-and-coming attorneys whose work stands out to their peers, and five consecutive selections reflect the steady reputation she has built representing families across South Florida. Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters service, selects attorneys through a process combining peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluation. Rising Stars is open only to attorneys who are 40 or younger or who have been in practice for 10 years or less, and no more than 2.5 percent of lawyers in a state are named to the list each year. Being chosen again and again shows that her colleagues in the legal community consistently recognize the quality of her advocacy.

Emerald earned her law degree cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law and has been licensed in Florida since 2012. Before founding the firm, she served as an Assistant Attorney General prosecuting child abuse cases with the Department of Children and Families and as a senior staff attorney for the State of Florida Guardian ad Litem Program. That background gives her a clear understanding of how courts evaluate what children need, and it shapes how she handles time-sharing, parenting plans, and custody disputes today. She has also been named an Elite Lawyer in Divorce and Family Law and was selected by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys as one of the 10 Best attorneys for client satisfaction.
