Tamara Williams, Paralegal & Client Lifeline
The Legal Veteran with a Heart of Gold
Tamara did not just start in law yesterday; she has been navigating the Florida legal system since 1986. After taking a break to master the world’s toughest job—raising a family—she returned to the field in 2011 with a perspective you won’t find in a textbook. Having grown up in a divorced household and navigated years as a single mother, Tamara knows that behind every legal file is a real person facing a real life change.
Your Case Navigator
Tamara spent over a decade as the right hand to the late Russell L. Cheatham III, managing every facet of his practice. This means she does not just "handle" paperwork; she anticipates what is coming next. At Stokes Law Firm, she is the primary bridge between the attorney and the client, specializing in cutting through legal "noise" to keep you organized, informed, and most importantly, calm.
The Stokes X-Factor
- Military Precision: As a proud Army Mom, Tamara brings a level of discipline and "get it done" energy to every case she touches.
- Zero Judgment: She has lived the stress and uncertainty our clients feel, making her the ultimate advocate for those who just want to be heard.
- The Organizer: From day one to the final judgment, she ensures no detail is missed and no question goes unanswered.
Life Beyond the Desk
A New York native but a Floridian since 1967, Tamara is the definition of a "Sunshine State of Mind." When she is not at the office, you will find her on the road visiting her son on base, soaking up the sun by her pool, or negotiating for more space on the lounge chair with her dog, Tucker.
