Jeremy Smith Willis

In dispute with my spouse, I hired this attorney to provide legal instruction to best protect myself. I became aware that Jeremy Willis consistently advised filing orders and actions that utilized my children as pawns to gain leverage against my spouse. Jeremy's unethical tactics complicated, incre...ased costs and created emotional suffering for my children and family. Creating amicable collaboration is not a goal for him. As if that not bad enough, he is not thorough, mostly unavailable, cancels or does not appear for meetings and shows up at the last minute without taking time to prepare an adequate client/attorney position.

My family was involved in an ugly guardianship case and Mr. Willis was appointed by the Judge to act as attorney strictly for the ward since both sides already had attorneys. Never having been involved in such a mess, I was completely clueless about how everything worked and was frankly irritated th...at we had yet one more attorney to answer to. Once Mr. Willis took a bio of all of the parties involved, he then became strictly focused on HIS client and what was best for HER (many times facing the anger of one side or the other). Mr. Willis never lost sight of who the case was actually about and how all decisions might impact his client - even more importantly to me, he always made sure I was aware of what any and all decisions meant. Not only was this important to me (I was not a party to the original Guardianship fight) but he helped us focus on what was meaningful to the case and what was merely emotional aggravation. While he would allow me to rant about the injustice of certain aspects of this mess as long as I needed to, he then always took to the time to steer me back to how best to help the ward (his client) in the case. I sat in court several times and listened carefully and never once heard Mr. Willis become distracted by the arrows flying back and forth between the 2 sides - when it was his turn to speak, he remained calmly focused on the needs of his client and made sure the court was not sidetracked by some of the shenanigans that played out. Now that the case has wound down and with the hindsight of 20/20 vision, I am amazed at the effort and energy displayed by the team of Mr. Willis. Even more astonishing is realizing they attacked this case the way they did while knowing they would receive next to no money from this as they were court appointed. In my opinion, he gave my family member an extra 9 months of life she would not have had in the situation he found her in and there are no words (no matter how long I make this commentary) that can adequately express my gratitude for that one fact.

I hired Mr. Willis for a "easy" custody case which turned out to be more complicated than I thought. Mr. Willis & his staff were amazing!!! Start to finish custody was finished in @ 2 months!! They walked me through the process, kept me informed & even made sure I was comfortable in the courtroom. Th...ey are kind, thoughtful & uniquely gifted at what they do!!! We weren't just a case to them....we were a family they treated with patience, kindness, understanding & professional courtesy!!!

My husband and I are currently represented my Mr.Willis. we have been involved in a custody battle for about 8 months now and I would have saw I love Jeremy and his staff. He is a very good attorney that fights for what you want. I have been impressed with his court room litigation and he has done a... great job so far.
