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.

Incredible Family Law Attorney! Hire Quick before opponent!

Jan represented us over several years in a very difficult, drawn out custody case with multiple court hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable, PREPARED, and offers exceptional advice and counsel. Her follow through, attention to detail, organization and preparedness in the courtroom where unsurpas...sed. She is extremely responsive to email and phone calls and truly cares about her clients. Her rates and billing are also very fair. We switched from a different attorney and cant begin to say how glad we are that we did. She won our case!

Great Attorney

This attorney was the best i could have come across during my divorce. Everything she told me to do, as a single father fighting for custody, was precisely true. it was a lot of work but in the end there was no doubt she knew what she was doing and i thank her tremendously. me and my two beautiful ch...ildren now live and prosper as the family should have in the beginning. Jan thanks for everything.
