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.
