Stan Smith represented me in a custody battle. On the the day of my court date Stan contacted me and told me that i would not need to appear, because he had a doctors appointment in Hattiesburg and had gotten a continuance.
However there was not a continuance and by me not showing my ex was given temporary full custody. I have tried contacting Stan many times and have spoken to his secretary Betty many times.
At first Betty assured me they would fix their mistake. After weeks of waiting for them to fix it i tried contactung Stan many times without an answer or return call. It has now been 8 months and Stan Smith still has yet to fix his mistake and i have went this entire time with no rights of my daughter.
I would hire another attorney if i could afford it. I would represent myself before hiring Stan Smith again!
