Jodi Robin Smilack

I hired Jodi after speaking with a senior member of the law firm where she practices. We felt that my case was simple enough (was supposed to be a basic dissolution) that I didn't need to hire the "big guns". He recommended Jodi as my counsel to be easier on my budget. Even though I paid less for her time, I felt like I got much more bang for my buck. I found Jodi to be knowledgeable, thorough, and succinct. When my case took an ugly turn, she didn't back down and fought hard for what was fair and just. There were some times where I felt the communication was a little light, but I think that it was for the better by consolidating communications to optimize billed time. Jodi maintained great composure, even in the face of difficult opposing counsel. She never sugar-coated her answers to any of my questions, and she ended up being nearly spot-on with the outcome of my divorce. In closing, I am very satisfied with Jodi's performance and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Jodi was a real pro the entire time of my divorce case... even when opposing counsel was not a model of professionalism. Jodi never got caught up in the drama but was always there providing a steady hand when I was not as steady. She has excellent communication skills... not too much and not too little and very tactful at all times. Her advice was very practical and right on the mark. There was no question she could not answer. She has a very pleasant and positive disposition which is important in a business that is naturally unpleasant. I highly recommend Jodi in divorce, separation and child custody cases.
