Excellent Attorney

First, I love that one of her handouts at the first meeting mentioned giving her an "honest review" at the end of the court case because that means she is asking for reviews from anyone and not just people who tell her they like her. Now, as for her representation I am very relieved she is the one t...he court picked because she took great care of them. She was very easy to talk to and we could tell she cared about our grandbabies right from the start. They even ask for her still sometimes. I will say at one point I was very upset with her because we didn't understand one of her decisions but it turned out to be the right thing and my daughter saw that in the end. She is very tough on parents and expects them to do the right thing for there kids and its the tough love we should have had and maybe this wouldn't have ever happenned. I will hire her for sure if I ever need a lawyer but I hope I never need one!

Thank you

Thank you for your help. I didn't feel like I would ever get someone to listen and now my daughter is safe because you cared and listened. We will never forget you.

Great divorce Attorney

I hired Brandi to handle my divorce from my husband of 20 years. We have 3 children and I was not handling the process or thought of divorce well at all. It was not my choice nor my children's to have our family split apart but Brandi and her Paralegal, Kasondra, made it much less traumatic. Brand...i continued to show that she cared about what happened to me and my children every time I met with her. I would highly recommend her to any man or woman who wants to hire someone that will fight for them and make sure their best interests are taken care of. You do not hear very many stories of any Attorneys who want to make sure their clients are taken care of but Brandi is an exception. I cannot say enough good things about her or her staff. Although I do not encourage divorce, if it is the only option, then Brandi is the one you need. Thanks Brandi for helping my kids and I when we needed you the most and please don't change.

Oh, Anne, your situation still breaks my heart, but I am at least glad that we got the best result possible out of a very bad situation, and I am grateful to have made a friend in the process. Your case is over, but you and your children are still on my mind and my heart. Thank you so much for the kind words.

Excellent services and very responsive

Brandi Leigh Smith was very responsive to our needs. She worked hard to make sure that we won the race to the courthouse. Her advice was insightful. She kept us informed and was responsive in all respects. We would strongly recommend her.

confident

After years of avoiding a custody battle I had no choice, I went to see Brandi. No one wants to be sitting in that situation, but unfortunately it happens. Brandi was very knowledgeable, organized, and made me feel confident in her. I put my trust into her and came out a big win :)
