Olivia is Awesome!

Olivia helped us with the process of obtaining restraining orders against a terrible human being. We weren't familiar with the process and she helped us with pure professionalism, always on time and quality advise on what needed to be done. I highly recommend her and have referred her to several frie...nds of mine over the years that needed assistance with divorces. She has helped them all and anyone would be lucky to have her as their lawyer.

Professional and Knowledgeable

OIivia represented me in a child support trial. She was very patient with my questions and was quick to get back with me to explain the process and the child support laws clearly. I was on the defense, which can be a difficult position because we did not know what to expect to be coming from the of...fense. With thorough deposition requests and concise trial questioning, I believe she helped the court understand the facts. I am grateful for her ability to handle a stressful situation for me, in a professional manner. In the end, we achieved the results that I was hoping for, which is appropriate and adequate child support for my children. I have recommended Olivia to 2 close friends and will continue as she is very knowledgeable of the legal processes and laws.

The Best I've Ever Seen!

From the first moment Olivia and I spoke during my consultation, I knew I had found a gem. She was very direct, reassuring and generally concerned in taking care of me as her client. I've unfortunately been through a couple of custody cases, I've left it in the hands of attorneys before and been disa...ppointed in the results. Olivia is very strategic and knowledgeable. She also always made me feel comfortable in each move that needed to be made for my case, even when it was difficult for me. In any type of case that you would consider hiring Mrs. Smith, I would say you couldn't go wrong. Myself and my family appreciate her more than their are words to express.

Great Attorney!

Olivia was amazing. I went through a very nasty divorce that lasted over a year. There were times I wanted to give up and Olivia kept me going. Going into trial I was so scared. Olivia and I spent a lot of time together educating me on legal terms and giving me the best advice possible. I never had... to sit in limbo, Olivia is very quick at replying to phone calls and emails. I am beyond grateful for all of her hard work and dedication to my case. I would recommend her to anyone.
