Thomas Shane Smith

There is nothing pleasant about divorce, so the attorney representing you should be competent, knowledgeable, unrelenting, kind and a good communicator. Shane is all those things, is quick on his feet and has an appropriate sense of humor. I highly recommend him to anyone going through this challeng...ing time. I trust Shane completely and know that he represented my interests, and the interests of my children, at all times during the year-long process. Because of his background in psychology, Shane understood what the children were going through and how the decisions being made would affect them. He used that understanding to help guide the process. He is a fierce advocate and took the time to understand my goals and fight on my behalf so I did not have to. Shane is also very responsive and has great judgment. He got me through the long ordeal in as positive a manner as possible. Shane impressed me by doing everything he said he would do, when he said it would be done, and always kept me "in the loop". Shane did a great job of keeping the case focused, even during situations that could have been blown out of proportion. In that way, he never tried to overwork the case to earn more; he was very fair with billing. Not only is Shane a fantastic attorney, he is also an impressive person with outstanding morals and takes his ethical obligations very seriously. While I would never want to go through a divorce again, if I did I would not hesitate to call Shane. I highly recommend him as an experienced, knowledgeable, kind, and rational attorney.

Shane was great about explaining the process and keeping me up to date with how things were progressing. He was extremely helpful with any problems I had throughtout the process and answered all of my questions in a knowledgable and straightforward manner. He proved himself to be trustworthy and an i...nvaluable resource during such an overwhelming time.

Shane was absolutely phenomenal. He remained involved from the beginning and always kept us informed about what exactly was going on in our case. He took time to understand our situation in detail and truly listened to our wants and concerns. He made us feel as though we were close friends and he wan...ted the absolute best for me and my family. I completely believe our victory in court was 100% due to us hiring him as our lawyer.

Shane was the essential ingredient in the performance of my child custody case. He effortlessly navigated through my highly complex, sensitive, and volatile case with a granular focus on the legal details necessary. The results were both measurable and effective. His methodical work ethic coupled wit...h immense probing, and investigatory skills secured my case and alleviated as much stress as was possible during a tremendously trying time.

As a law enforcement officer I have worked with numerous attorneys in a variety of cases ranging from criminal to civil. I've seen firsthand what an attorney without a conscience is capable of. A few years ago, I was forced into a legal battle of my own. I obtained the services of Mr. Smith to rep...resent me in the most important case of my life. Mr. Smith's knowledge of family law and his integrity while practicing that law is nothing short of amazing. I was most impressed that he did not accept my narrative as the truth until he had confirmed it through the means that he had available. Mr. Smith made it clear that while he represented me, the child involved was what was most important. I have no reservations about recommending Mr. Smith to anyone.
