Save your money

Doesn't return calls, took the money, and basically ran. No fighting in court, every time you call the office you get an offsite answering service and the calls never get returned. Emails don't get returned. Awaiting his signature for the divorce. Going on a month now.

Ethical and Caring

Mr. Smith is the most ethical AND caring attorney I have ever met. During a time when I was struggling with a divorce after 25 years of marriage, his comforting demeanor made a painful process a lot more bearable. He was honest throughout the entire process, explaining in layman’s terms what he was c...onfident would happen, and what would likely take place given the law and the things we cannot change. His performance was the best example of the Serenity Prayer in action that I’ve ever witnessed!

Grandparents rights

Called over the phone and talked with him. Got rates ect made appt drove 5 hours to talk n was a FaceTime appt. wasn't told this , did paperwork. Paid him. And he was to help me get it's with my granddaughter. my son is married and the case was a cold one. At court after I ask to try n do one on one.... He would say. They don't want this. we go to court. Judge didn't say yes or no. But explain the law then I had to pay their lawyers also. he wanted me to cont this and get full rights and go after them to the next level. I told him. I wasn't able to keep a 5year old full time I also ask for the hours he did work the case and never got these. I also found out he spoke with my son on this before we talked and he never told me of this. I haven't gotten anything from hm but the receipt from where I paid his cost

DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY

I hired him for a custody case. He filed the case for a divorce, I had already been divorced for 2 years at this point. Horrible communication. He didn't do any investigation for my case, showed up with nothing to court. Didn't even cross examine my ex. The judge threw out the case and I was out my... time and thousands of dollars.

Knowledgeable, Reasonable, Affordable.

Attorney Smith is an excellent way to go for family law cases. He is intelligent, highly reputable, and affordable. I had nothing negative to say when he handled my divorce case for me. The case did take a bit longer than expected, but that was because the courts were closed most of the year due to C...ovid-19. His staff was courteous and supportive, which was nice because it was a very difficult time in my life. Calls and/or emails were returned quickly- often within 48 hours- which is rare to find someone to respond to your call or emails that quickly- if at all. They took the time to explain any questions I had with documents that I didn't and most people don't deal with on a daily basis and didn't always understand. and treated me like a person, not a file or a number. If I needed any future representation in family law, I would use this firm again.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
