Excellent Divorce Attorney

Mr. Smith was recommended to me thru a family member who was a friend. I had just discovered that I was in dire need of a very good divorce attorney, one that not only was knowledgeable of the law, but one who would have knowledge of dealing with abuse and a narcissistic personality. He was extreme...ly professional, straightforward and positive. He told me what to expect and was available for me during the process. I could not have been more pleased with his ability and sense of judgement. I would highly recommend Mr. Smith for any legal advice.

Super lawyer...T Shane Smith

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.

Outstanding Integrity

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.

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.
