You have found the right lawyer

I hired Neil for my divorce and then again for my modification. He was excellent during both. It was a very stressful time in my life and he helped keep me on track. He took the emotion out and put in common sense. I hope to never need a lawyer again but, if I do I would only ever hire Neil again. H...is honesty is a breath of fresh air.

Neil is clear, concise and effective. He was and continues to be very responsive to my questions and legal needs. I have used him for a divorce to litigation and a few things in between.

Neil’s The Best!!!!!

I contacted Neil when I was seeking a divorce and was very apprehensive about my selection of a lawyer. From my very first consultation, Neil made me feel better about my situation. I called him many times and he always would calm my nerves!! Ha!! He helped me get the best possible outcome and I alwa...ys felt that he really cared about me and my problems. I would recommend Neil highly!! I consider him my lawyer and my friend!!

Review of Neil Smith, Attorney at Law

Mr. Smith represented me in a motion to modify my divorce decree in 2014. He was successful in obtaining a significant reduction in my monthly maintenance payment and obtaining full custody of my daughter from my ex-wife. I would recommend Mr. Smith if one needs an attorney in seeking a divorce or... separation from a spouse.
