About Leigh Anne
Leigh Anne Williams began her legal career in roles that combined practical training and advising. Early work as a lead corporate trainer and legal advisor for the Community Management Association in 2015 put her in direct contact with property management and governance issues. That early exposure shaped a practice that would later straddle family law and community association matters.
Her recorded positions trace a steady progression through private practice and organizational roles. In 2016 she joined Southpark Family Law as an associate lawyer. She later served as the operating lawyer at L.A. Williams Law, PLLC in 2019. Records show a return to Southpark Family Law in 2021 listed simply as lawyer. In 2022 she worked as an associate at The Olsinski Law Office. In 2024 she founded Meridian Law Office and is listed as its operating lawyer. The sequence suggests experience both inside boutique family law settings and running a small practice.
Colleagues describe Williams as methodical in client matters and deliberate in courtroom preparation. She handles family law cases and works with clients on separation and divorce matters. Her background advising community management groups informs work on disputes tied to homeowners associations and governance questions. She also brings experience in training and education from earlier roles, which clients and peers say informs how she explains legal options.
Williams maintains a presence in local and state bar circles. She is a member of the Charlotte Collaborative Divorce Professionals, the Mecklenburg County Bar Association and Charlotte Women Lawyers. She serves as Co-Chair of the Continuing Legal Education Board of the North Carolina Bar Association. That role places her on the administrative side of programming for lawyer education and reflects ongoing ties to legal education and professional development.
A practitioner who has worked in both advisory and litigation-adjacent roles, Williams has combined practice management responsibilities with client work. She moved from association work into firm roles and then into founding a practice of her own. She currently operates Meridian Law Office, handling family law, collaborative divorce and community association matters.
