Natalie S. Williams

Attorney, Advocate, Professor, and Author

I am a Southern Belle originally from the small community named Jason; nestled down a country road in rural Eastern North Carolina. As a child I developed my passion for law and justice while watching Perry Mason and Matlock with my grandmother. I earned her Bachelor of Science Degree from North Carolina Central University in 1999.  I began my legal career as a sworn law enforcement officer with the State of North Carolina as a Probation/Parole Officer. Throughout the next eleven (11) years, I worked closely with high-risk, violent adult and juvenile offenders that were placed on intensive probation, house arrest, day reporting, and those with intermediate/split sanctions. 

I graduated from Valparaiso University with a Master of Arts in Psychology in 2015, followed by a Juris Doctorate in 2016. After the Bar Exam, I joined the Lake County Prosecutors Office where I worked for five years. Throughout my time as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, I have tried 8 major felony trials, 4 of them the highest charge was Murder, three (3) minor felony jury trials, and over 40 misdemeanor bench trials.

In 2022, I decided to join the private sector as a Criminal Defense Attorney. In 2023, I opened NSW Legal, LLC. I not only represent criminal defendants, but I advocate for parents who have been denied parenting time with their children. I utilize my master’s degree to primarily to assist me as an attorney, however I am also an Adjunct Professor at Indiana Technical Institute where I teach courses in Psychology, Sociology, and Legal Studies. 

I co-authored a book anthology called “Born to Lead: Awakening the Leader Within” in 2022. I’m currently working on several projects including an autobiography, blog, and podcast!

As an attorney, advocate, professor, or author, I speak life into the broken spirits of those that I encounter. This is my calling and I do not take it lightly or for granted. I believe greatness is a choice, so why not choose greatness to advocate for you.
