Mr. Smiley is very knowledgeable in Family Law. He prepared my husband and myself for each upcoming filing and appearance. He made us feel well prepared for the hearing and we knew exactly what to expect. He and his office are friendly, professional and most of all well experienced We not only fe...

Unethical, horrible lawyer
I had a consultation with Mr. Smiley in July 2016 during which he told me my out-of-state grandparent visitation order was void b/c of being against Florida law and that I could "do whatever I want" in regards to following the order. He wouldn't allow me to retain his services and assured me that if ...

Restoration Man
Scott Smiley took on my exhaustingly contentious ex spouse and the opposing unscrupulous, unethical attorney head on. Not once did he overlook the smallest detail. He was 5 steps ahead of the opposing counsel and is expert in cutting through extraneous information. He is honest and never once promise...

Scott is a very honest and straight forward attorney. He tells you exactly what you want to know and what you need to know to help your case. He listens to what his client wants and then goes after it, relentlessly. Scott helped me obtain the exact time sharing schedule I wanted and he truly cared ab...

Exceptional, Caring Lawyer
My divorce was a very emotional one. My husband committed an awful crime and was in jail awaiting trial through the entire divorce. I am 75 and we had been married for 28 years. I originally had another attorney who had to close down their practice. I am very glad for that now. The first attorne...
"I have know Mr. Smiley professionally and as a close and trusted friend for decades. High integrity trustworthy bright compassionate are just a few of his traits. I highly recommend calling him first for any family matters."
"I have worked with Scott on family law matters as opposing counsel on cases in my office and recently as a mediator and fully endorse this lawyer. He responds quickly, is easy to work with, and advocates for his clients while being a professional with opposing counsel. I recently completed a mediation of a complicated support issue with him and he went above and beyond to provide the appropriate information to assist my client in making good decisions and wrote up a thorough and well done settlement agreement."
"I emphatically endorse Mr. Smiley. I have been opposing counsel in Legal Aid matters which were complex and unpleasant. I don't know if I've ever endorsed former opposing counsel. Following our unfortunate, mutual case; I send my friends to Smiley due to a significant level of trust and respect which he has EARNED. I have never heard a bad word about Mr. Smiley even though he practices family law which is notoriously acrimonious. He is beyond "well respected" by family division practitioners and judges in Tallahassee. He's a pro and a nice guy as well."
