Loretta Ann Smith

I hired Loretta help me retain a TPO. I was fairly new to the state of Georgia with no emotional support, guidance, or understanding of what had just happened to me. Loretta took the time to walk me through each step and was patient to just listen at times. Loretta made me feel safe and calm when it... was time to go to court, two separate times. Loretta was able to get a 1 year and then 3 year TPO to keep, and help me feel safe moving forward. I unfortunately had a friend who experienced the same issue and referred her to Loretta and she had the same experience as I did.

I retained Loretta last Spring after I filed for legitimation for my daughter since her mother wouldn't let her have regular visitation with me despite the wishes of our child. I filed as a pro-se plaintiff so the mother responded by retaining an attorney and made a counterclaim for me to pay child s...upport while having the least amount of time possible with my daughter and no rights to her at all. I was very nervous as I didn't expect her to go this far out of her way to keep me from my child. After some searching I found Loretta and consulted with her. She agreed to represent me so I retained her. This was the start of a custody battle that lasted a little over a year. I had many nights where I was angry and confused, crying myself to sleep wondering if my daughter would ever know how much I cared about her. Loretta gave me confidence and assurance that everything would be OK. After a year she won me parental rights, joint legal custody and regular visitation of my daughter when we finally came a final order. Loretta always responded to my questions, gave me great advice yet always laid out my options even if they wouldn't work in my favor. Was it all worth it? Absolutely! The smiles I would receive when my daughter and I would spend time together going the GA Aquarium, riding scooters on the Belt Line, having dinner while watching Shakespeare plays at the Shakespeare Tavern, enjoying Medieval times, going ice skating in Atlantic Station and going to Atlanta Braves games and more definitely made it worth my while to retain this attorney and fight for my little girl. So with that said, I'll forever be thankful for what you did for me and my family Loretta. If you're in a Family Law case and actually would like to win then please retain this attorney. You will be very glad you did.

I cannot believe I haven’t written a review yet. Ms Loretta has helped me with several cases. She doesn’t lose her cool. She has great experience and effective strategies against malicious narcissistic certifiably crazy spouses in cases of divorce and child custody. You will have to listen to her and... let her guide you. Do not play smart and do something she doesn’t recommend. She plays chess not checkers. She is always looking out for your best interest and doesn’t forget details. She tries to save you money.

I retained the services of Ms Smith after receiving unfavorably results in the outcome of my divorce. With Ms. Smiths counsel and experience, my ex wife and I were able to amend divorce decree, and agree to a more fair and equitable settlement involving marital property and child visitation. THANK ...YOU for everything!!!
