Thomas Shane Smith

I honestly do not know where to begin with Mr. Shane Smith and his paralegal Mr. Dennis Hodtwalker. Upon calling attorneys to setup an initial appointment, I shopped around, but was given a run around with everyone I talked to and treated like a chore, not a client. Mr. Hodtwalker upon our first ...conversation showed genuine concern for my well being, pending separation, and doing whatever they could to get me representation for my divorce ASAP. The small things mattered to me before coming into my first meeting,including calling to check that I was ok, and if I needed anything before my first appointment. Not only is Mr. Smith a phenomenal attorney he is a shark. He knows his trade! My divorce was quickly handled, and settled out of court with me receiving more than I was initially asking for. Mr. Smith always had my best interest at heart, and didn't lead me on, make false promises, and always told me matter of fact what my options were and what we could accomplish. Shane and Dennis give you 5 star service before you are even a client, which says a lot about their character and business practices. Then you are treated like a human being, not a client. No calls, emails, or concern of mine ever went unanswered. The one thing I will always remember is Shane telling me you have enough in life to worry about, let me worry about your divorce and dealing with your ex. You don't have to worry about that anymore. Thank you BOTH for all the hard work, dedication, and being wonderful people!

Hired Shane Smith and his team to represent me in a divorce that had the potential to be very difficult long and drawn out. The end result was a fair divorce and settled in as timely a manner that could be expected. Shane and Dennis, his paralegal, work very effectively together , communicate well ...with their clients, and have a calming effect during trying times. I highly recommend Shane Smith. Look no further for a good divorce attorney.

I employed Mr Shane Smith by searching google, "best divorce/custody lawyers in birmingham" Shane was in the top 2! He definitely lived up to his title of being one of the best. I would highly recommend Mr Shane Smith as a Family lawyer. His knowledge and counseling far surpassed any other family/d...ivorce lawyer that I consulted with or had previously hired. Basically I told him what I wanted, and he made it happen. As a super needy client, Shane was always there to guide me along the way, he really seemed to care about me and my family as people and not just his client. He helped get the best possible outcome, based out the circumstances we were facing. "Amazing" is an understatement when describing Mr Smith.

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.
