Connie Marie Smith

We used Connie in a custody case in 2016. On the surface she appeared to be very knowledgable about the law and made us feel as though we had a strong case. However the day of court the judge told us that the law clearly states he did not have jurisdiction over our case. This was shocking after we... had given Connie thousands of dollars and countless documents to prepare for the case. She was so thrown off in court when it was her turn to speak it was like watching a young child trying to give their first speech in speech class. The judge read from a MS law book stating plainly why he did not have jurisdiction in our case. After all was said and done Connie told us we should go back to N.C. and hire another attourney and we could win there. She kept $3500 for her services and she did nothing we payed for child therapy visits etc and she was unable to introduce a single shred of evidence because she didn't properly read the MS law book on assuming jurisdiction of a custody order. So bottom line she cost us around $4k total and a lot of grief because she was unprepared. People don't just walk RUN away from this attorney.. I hope no one else has to experience what we did.
