Divorce Attorney

Throughout my divorce proceedings, Justin was professional and knowledgeable. He is trustworthy, is extremely reliable, has the utmost integrity and will make sure you are represented at the highest level. The divorce process is a nerve racking and unpredictable process. Be patient. You are in exper...t hands with Justin.

Highly Recommended

I’m grateful to Justin, who handled my large asset divorce. He not only looked out for my best interests, but actively worked out a settlement that benefited me greatly. In addition to that, I was kept constantly notified of the progress as it played out. One of the better decisions I made in a tu...rbulent time of my life was to retain him, and I recommend him without reservation. Thanks for everything, Justin, you were invaluable..

Child support order

I needed my child support order modified and Justin knocked it out in 48 hours. Very pleased with him and would highly recommend him.

Justin did great with my case.

Justin really put the point across when on trial. He did great with my case. Which was in family court. He has had my sons best interests at heart! Because of Justin's aggressive approach we were able to get the outcome I wanted for the price he stated. He represented me very well and I highly re...commend him for any of your lawyer needs.

Character and Fitness Hearing

I hired attorney Justin Smith to represent me at my character and fitness hearing so I can possibly sit for the Ohio bar. He was well prepared to defend me. He reviewed many documents and met with me so I would better able to answer questions fully. He was able to think through concerns of the panel ...and show that my character and fitness has always been adequate as full examination has shown. Always prompt for meetings. Has excellent communication skills. I would recommend him for any profession in which one faces a hearing. Excellent defender!
