Wonderful Lawyer

I highly recommend Mr. Smallwood. He and his staff are very knowledgeable. The way he handled my case was very organized and there was always communication. The advice they provided me was always intended to not only help me today, but to help me in my future. They took time in understanding my situa...tion and building a case around it accordingly. Customer service was exceptional. All work was done in a timely fashion. I truly feel lucky to have had Mr. Smallwood handle my divorce.

Awesome Attorney

Before we hired Sean a few years ago my wife researched heavily to find the best attorney. I will admit I was hassent when she told me the price and how amazing he was but I trusted her decision that he was the man for the job. We hired him and I can honestly say he was the right man for the job. He ...is very affordable compared to other attorney’s. He is also very knowledgeable and honest he will tell you straight up the the worst outcome possible and the best. His office always answer the phone and emails in a very timely matter. We believe he is the best in the business.

They produced the desired results!

Divorce is never easy. I had no idea where to start or who to trust. A friend introduced me to Sean, and he helped me went through the process as painless as possible. He is so compassionate, skilled, and offers wise and realistic counsel. I highly appreciated his deep understanding and being so coll...aborative because it has contributed a lot in achieving the result I long for. Thank you, guys, for walking me through this difficult process and helping me get a fair resolution.

Best Law firm in Orlando! And was lucky to have found it!

I was really up against the wall! This was a tough Child support case and being a Man who works 60 plus hours was not in My favor ; However The Law office Of Sean Smallwood worked diligently and the outcome was as good as I could hoped for!

Great job!!!

When looking for an attorney I called a couple of places before finally getting in contact with Sean Smallwood. I called for a consultation and almost right after I hung up Sean had called me right back. We spoke about my custody issues along with my child support case. Sean ensured me that he would ...get me be more time with my daughter. After we hung up I had a calm feeling I had not had after speaking with other lawyers. Once we agreed to payment his team began working on the case. There was communication the whole time throughout the process. After about a year in a half we had reached an agreement which I couldn’t be happier with. Attorney Bruno Who was assigned with my case was very truthful and honest and kept me in the loop every time I had a question or just wanted to know what was going on. I couldn’t be happier with the results. They care about the case as if they were fighting for their own. I would definitely recommend the family friends and co workers.
