Excellent Services

I highly recommend this group there very professional. The price for their services is very reasonable. They were very patient and understanding with us. They got our case dismissed and sealed with no back pay.

Exceptional Client services at a fair price

Ms. Smith represented me and was successful in protecting my rights to an equitable settlement. I never had to worry about being taken advantage of for not knowing the law, as Ms Smith was patient in explaining the law and in describing exactly how she was going to work on my behalf to achieve a ...favorable outcome. She was able to settle my case and helped me save approximately$3000! Thank you Ms Smith for your commitment to providing exceptional legal counsel.

Grateful and Appreciative

I have hired Caroline J Smith as my attorney a few times because of landlord and tenant issues. For the last few years I have been going through big financial issues and was not able to pay my rent. I was so grateful for the small amount I had to pay for such great representation! Each time I knew ...I was in great hands and there was nothing to worry about! The staff and Caroline J Smith never looked their noses down on me for having to hire them more than once. Caroline, Michelle, Kenda, Naomi, Jeff, Robert and all the associates at Caroline J. Smith and associates are awesome. I would recommend them to anyone. Actually I do recommend them to anyone I feel they can help. My sister has also hired Caroline J. Smith and Associates and now she is a client!

Not Recommended

I have met Caroline Smith personally and she is extremely rude to me. Although she may follow through with the case she is very unprofessional and unpersonable. I suggest that if you are considering her, my opinion would be to go with another company who treat their clients better. She referred to me... as "poor people" and extremely, extremely rude. Her office called me the day before court and told me that I was responsible for the lawyers fee because they could not get the realty company to pay it. I did not have the money last minute, but came prepared with a payment date and she treated me as though I was trying to stiff her out of a payment. My recommendation is to go with another lawyer firm that would appreciate the business of the client. I will pray for her and her abrasive, aggressive personality with her clients. I feel sorry for her.
