William A. Smiley

I used Bill a few years ago for some family law matters. His understanding of the family law system can be best described as scholarly. He was always well prepared when we met and had a good knowledge of the lay of the land at the Columbia County Courthouse and what to expect. From a billing prospective he is a no frill attorney. So many family law attorney's try to bill you for every nickel and take you for everything you have got. Not Bill, his services were more than reasonable. He is a great person who will fight for you. Bill even took an occasional call from me after hours when I needed to talk. He managed to pull off an emergency order and get it signed by a judge in matter of 45 minutes at one point due to his close location to the courthouse and his probably his reputation with the folks there. He is straightforward and has unquestionable ethics.

I called for an initial interview and while being very arrogant he hung up the phone before I could finish my sentence. That's a very bad initial impression.
