Jeremy Smith Willis

We're currently using Mr. Willis for a matter involving one of our children. At the first meeting he listened to us and said "I don't think you need to hire me yet. I think you can resolve this without me if you do the following." And then he laid out a plan for us. He didn't charge us a dime. When w...e showed up on his doorstep the next day after a wrench got thrown into that plan, we were confused and lost and didn't know what to do. He talked us through it and let us know that it was time to hire an attorney. It's been an incredibly emotional and stressful time for us and he's listened to us every time we need to just vent and cry and get it all out. He may not always answer the phone when we call (do you honestly expect him to sit at his desk and wait for you to call?), but anytime we stop by his office unannounced he's always met with us. Our case hasn't been resolved yet and I don't completely know what the outcome will be. But we hired Jeremy to tell us what we should do and to look out for our best interests, as well as the interests of our other children. Jeremy gave us his recommendation and explained why he feels that what we would like to do isn't in our best interest. But he also told us that if we really want to proceed with the alternative then he'll fight for us, and gave us an estimate of what it would cost and how long it would take. Jeremy knows that we do not have an unlimited fund for this case so he's given us simple tasks to do ourselves that he could easily have charged us thousands of dollars for. Our case isn't over so I suppose there's still the possibility of him dropping us as clients and leaving us in the lurch, but with as often as I've sat and cried in his office these last few wks I really can't see him doing that. If he does I'll come back and let y'all know! As far as the Dallas Cowboys comment, this person obviously didn't get to know their attorney very well because Jeremy would never stoop so low as to look at CowGirls material. In or out of the courtroom. He's smart enough to know that the Texans are the only team worth paying attention to. Is he arrogant? Yeah a little. Is he blunt? Absolutely. But do you really want an attorney who is going to walk into the court room and cower to the other side or avoid giving you the hard truth because he might offend you? And the comment about Becky was just rude and immature. Becky is a lovely woman who has never been anything but professional and friendly. She even entertained our children on a particularly emotional day when we made an impromptu stop by the office to see Jeremy. And the receptionist has done the same, even when the kids were tired and cranky and completely interrupted the work she was trying to accomplish. So while Jeremy may not be the warm, fuzzy, guy who is going to hold your hand and wipe away your tears, he does have a heart and he will let you cry while he hands you a tissue. But when the time comes he will also tell you to dry it up, put on your big boy panties, and deal with the hard stuff.

My work places me in a position where I interact with a great number of attorneys. I was skeptical of family law practitioners considering their reputation as a whole. I hired Mr. Willis to handle my daughter's custody arrangement. Mr. Willis listened to each issue that I presented and efficiently... moved the case toward resolution. As someone who often has trouble receiving timely responses from different attorneys, Mr. Willis' policy of quickly calling me back or emailing me was extremely well received. I cannot thank him enough for what he did for my daughter and my grand-child.

Please read this and other reviews before you choose to hire Jeremy. He does not return emails or phone calls. You will be passed to an assistant which will not return your emails or phone calls either. Absolutely the worst money I have ever spent. We would not receive return calls or email responses..., so I tried calling daily. Finally we received a letter from the court letting us know that Jeremy was dropping us as clients and the case. Of course this was after he had collected his money. I agree and experienced the same unprofessional circumstances that others have reported on this site. During mediation Jeremy chose to work on email and other cases in lieu of working on our case. He did not focus at all on the mediation, only input he had was settle, settle, settle. If you do make the mistake and hire Jeremy I recommend that you do not pay for any services prior to the case being settled or he will drop you and move on leaving you to hire another attorney to finish your case. Jeremy is the worst attorney I have ever worked with.

I've read some of these other reviews and have to say that I am completely surprised by the responses. I hired Jeremy to handle my custody case a couple of years ago and was so pleased with him and his staff. I know they are busy, but they were never too busy to call me back or sit down with me when ...I just walked in, even when I didn't have an appointment. I knew that I could trust Jeremy to help me get custody of my grandson, and he did. I always send my friends to him when they need legal help. Can't imagine anyone not being as happy with his office as I am. There was never a time when I didn't feel sure that he was gonna do whatever we needed to do to win my case and help me get my grandson out of a bad living environment and with me. I hired Jeremy Willis and so should you if you are reading these reviews wondering if you should hire an attorney. He's definitely the best there is in this area!

I HIRED JEREMY WILLIS EARLIER THIS YEAR TO HANDLE WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE AN EASY, OR AT LEAST AGREEABLE DIVORCE WITH MY HUSBAND. WHEN MY HUSBAND BECAME UNCOOPERATIVE AND BEGAN TO TRY AND CONTROL THE SITUATION, JEREMY WAS RIGHT THERE TO TAKE CHARGE AND GET ME THE RESULTS I WANTED. ALL OF MY CA...LLS WERE ANSWERED RIGHT AWAY AND HIS LEGAL ASSISTANT, BECKY, WAS ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED TO TALK. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ATTORNEY CARE THIS MUCH ABOUT ME AND MY SITUATION. I SAY THANKS TO JEREMY WILLIS FOR TURNING MY NIGHTMARE INTO A WORKABLE SITUATION FOR ME!
