Absolutely Fantastic Family Law Attorney

Navigating the complexities of family law can be incredibly challenging, but working with Attorney Steve Smith made the process so much easier. Steve is not only exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled in his field, but he is also compassionate and dedicated to his clients' well-being. From our fi...rst consultation, Steve demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and provided clear, practical advice tailored to my situation. His strategic approach and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. What truly sets Steve apart is his genuine empathy and commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients. He was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer reassurance during a very stressful time. Thanks to Steve's expertise and unwavering support, my case was resolved favorably and efficiently. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of a trustworthy and effective family law attorney.

Wouldn't recommend for family law

I hired Steve to help me post decree. He didn't accomplish much. I had to fire him and hire another lawyer and still pay his fees. He relied mostly on the office staff who he told me in the beginning not to take advice from. He said "She is nice enough but don't take law advice from her." But she was... the only one to answer me on anything. I never received any paperwork, no explanation to what happened on phone calls or in court. I was told things were done when they were not. I had a simple case. I needed child support modified and a petition for rule against me argued. Neither one of those things were done after months. He also told me when I hired him not to worry about paying his fees he knew my situation and would accept payments as I could make them, and then filed a petition for attorney's fees against me. Steve wasn't that knowledgeable in with the process and caused me more work then needed. I was able to find a lawyer after I fired him who got what I needed done quickly and efficiently. I can't speak for his work in the real estate field. But I wouldn't recommend him for family matters.

Great lawyer!!

Steven is very polite and courteous. He answered all of my questions up front and laid out how the entire process would unfold. He was easily reached for any questions or concerns and communicated responses in a very timely manner. He had my best interest in mind the entire case. I will definitely be... hiring Steven Marshall again.
