A True Professional!

I came to Dustin with a very serious case against my ex its not the normal run of the mill divorce and custody battle this case was highly complex and had a ton of moving parts! When my children were in danger Dustin instantly went to work filing the proper paper work and showing the evidence to not ...only get my kids out of that environment and out of harms way but never NOT A SINGLE TIME when i needed him did he EVER blow me off or not answer! He even helped me one weekend while he was on a camping trip with his family! When we did go to court i was fully prepared because of Mr. Smith and the opposing side couldn't do anything because we already had planned for everything! We raked them over the coals in court!! I know alot of lawyers will blow smoke and tell you what you want to hear to get your business but Dustin Smith is the real deal! If anyone reading this was like me searching through a ton of lawyers to make sure you get the right one then im here to tell you stop reading this and call this man because it was the best decision i ever made! I still have majority custody of my children and they are safe thanks to all the hard work Dustin did on my case! Thank you brother i will never forget what you did for me and my babies!

Very clear, upfront and honest.

Dustin was very upfront that my child custody case was guaranteed to come out the way I wanted. He explain the laws and how the judge was likely to rule. Even though it isn't what I wanted to hear, he was ultimately right. I am glad I finally found a lawyer that just didn't say what I wanted to hear ...and still took a genuine concern in my delicate matter. I will be using him for any legal matters I have in the future.

I think the client meant to say I didn't guarantee that it would come out the way she wanted, but i get it! :) I am glad you feel this way, I always try to let my clients understand the strengths AND weaknesses of their cases. Thank you for this review !

Very comforting and there with you the entire way.

I wanted to file for divorce a couple of times but had been scared of the process. From the first consultation to the day my divorce was final I never felt alone. I was informed weekly of the status of my case and all questions were answered immediately. It truly cares about his clients well being an...d goes the extra mile even when he doesn't have to.
