Jennifer R. Smart

We retained Ms. Smart for a family child custody case while living out of state. Although we thought being out of state may be a challenge to achieve a successful outcome Ms. Smart and her staff were able to keep us very well informed and up to date of our case, through phone calls, conference calls ...and email. When she was not available to take a call due to court or personal matters her staff was able to assist us with any questions or concerns we may have had. Even then Ms. Smart always did a follow up call to ensure our questions were answered. Ms. Smart was able to work with us on obtaining dates for hearings that met our schedules to travel to Texas. We first retained Ms. Smart to assist us with a child custody case which she was able to successfully win for us. We retained her a second time to handle an adoption for us which involved an absentee father. Although we would have loved to rush through this process Ms. Smart informed us that we would be taking each step required by Texas law to insure the adoption could never be challenged in the future. This case involved many detailed documents and several hearings as each of the steps were completed. Ms. Smart handled every hearing with professionalism and was able to assure us at each hearing that our goals would be met. Ms. Smart contacted us prior to submitting each document to the courts for both our review and our approval of the document to make sure we all agreed on what we would be asking from the courts. Her knowledge of family law, child custody, adoption and all around court knowledge is very impressive. We were able to speak with Ms. Smart knowing that our conversations were confidential and none of what we discussed was ever disclosed to the other party. We truly appreciate what the Smart Law Firm has done for our family. At the final adoption hearing Ms. Smart entire staff appeared in court to show their support. It was a very emotional day and very well handled.
