I hired Nevada for my Divorce and recommend him highly!

Nevada and the entire staff at Smith Law Offices did a phenomenal job and provided a smooth experience for my case. I came from another law firm who did not provide a good experience and Nevada took over and it was smooth sailing from there. I highly recommend using them for your needs.

Client for Life

Nevada provided service that I believe was second to none. Two things that my case was not is short or easy. The one true north that I always had was Nevada as he was there every step of the way to provide me guidance and ensure that we made progress toward my best interest not anyone else’s. He was ...extremely responsive and compassionate to all of my concerns but also firm when he needed to ensure that I was thinking clearly and not allowing me to get wrapped up in the emotion that goes along with the situation. I hardly expect that from anyone except my closest friends let alone my attorney. It is safe to say that I was not just a client of Nevada’s, but he also treated me as a true friend not just a client. I know that Nevada practices in multiple areas and he has a client for life with me. I would recommend that if you have any reservations just sit down and have a conversation with him and you will hire him on the spot just as I did!

One in a Million

Nevada Smith came highly recommended by a friend. I was suffering much distress and frustration with my then current attorney. Often finding myself disappointed with word of mouth recommendations, I decided to take a chance and make an appointment with Nevada anyway. Within minutes of meeting Nevada... I knew this was an attorney that was certainly a breath of fresh air and clearly compassionate regarding his clients. I released my then current attorney and hired Nevada that day. You can pay an attorney a lot of money but you can’t buy skilled competence, perseverance, genius analytical skills or the secure feeling that you are unquestionably in good hands. Nevada possesses this magical combination. My complicated and difficult case ended successfully and I attribute that to my decision to hire Nevada. His excellent communication and his amazing staff are icing on the cake. My faith in ethical, skilled, creative, kind and empathetic attorneys has been fully restored. I confidently recommend Nevada Smith and rejoice with glee when I receive a big thank you for the recommendation. He is an honor to his profession.

difficult to reach, unresponsive staff

Charged for items that he stated he didn't charge for, called multiple times to address charge over 4 months. Had to go to his office and ask for a explanation, staff said he had made a mistake about charging me but refused to reverse charges. Requested legal advice (paid a large retainer) and no ser...vice. As a customer, he appeared knowledgeable but no action from him or his office.
