Outstanding and Honest Attorney – Highly Recommended

I just want to say that she has been one of the most honest and respectful attorneys I’ve ever met. She truly works with you, and she doesn’t sugarcoat things or try to take your money like some other attorneys might. She genuinely wants to help people and do what’s right. I would recommend her to... everyone I come across—she’s been absolutely amazing and has fought hard for me in my custody case. I’m incredibly grateful for her dedication and support.

Great family law attorney

A coworker that knew I needed a divorce attorney recommended Jan in 2007. I'm Asian and at the time spoke limited English. She patiently listened to my story and assured me that she could help. I suggested having a translator for the court room but Jan told me that she understood me well and that tog...ether we would present the case. She turned an impossible situation into a very good settlement for me and my children. Since then I think of Jan as a friend I can reach out to for any legal needs including my will, healthcare and durable powers of attorney. Most recently she helped my son with his own child custody settlement. If you need legal help I highly recommend Jan Holleywell-Smith, she is a very good attorney.

EXCELLENT/HONEST/ETHICAL/SMART LAWYER!

My job recommended using Jan to handle my divorce and after the entire process, I am blown away at her focus, intelligence and patience of ME to get this done. Another law firm took advantage of me, but Jan restored my faith in lawyers and I will recommend her to anyone who seeks a lawyer. I need a...t least 1,000 STARS to rate this phenomenal lawyer!

Jan is Amazing!

I was desperate to find someone to help me get divorced, and I feel so blessed to have found Ms. Jan. She really listened to me and did everything to get me out of my marriage as quickly as possible. I couldn't be happier and recommend her to everyone I can.

Jan is an incredibly effective family law attorney. I could NOT have been more pleased!

I was referred to Jan to handle my divorce and I will never regret my choice of choosing her as my legal counsel. Jan knows and understands all the ins and outs of the law and the courts. Her advice, while not always what I wanted to hear, always proved to be the spot on. She was very skilled in t...he way she cut through the noise and got to the issues that really mattered and tactfully nudged me along the process even when I was hesitant and unsure at times. I will always appreciate her efforts and guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone going through this unpleasant experience.
