Tara Smalstig

Recently went through a divorce. Tara represented me from the beginning to the end. She did a great job. She is knowledgeable and helpful. If you need a family practice lawyer, Tara is the one to call!

Posted by Drew | September 30, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Family

Vigorously represented me in a custody battle

Tara is the best. She has excellent courtroom demeanor and will fight for you and never back down. You’d be hard pressed to find a better attorney for representation in family law.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
