Attorney Review

Kurt was great! Number #1 civil attorney in the state! He assisted me in a difficult divorce and resolved a tough custody issue with exemplary results. The results were phenomenonal and l achieved all my goals in the case. His legal expertise and interpersonal skills were outstanding! He has a great ...legal team at Smith Legal Group that went above and beyond in my situation. I highly recommend Kurt Smith for any civil court issues. Thank you Kurt and your Legal Team!

Amazing team! We are very impressed!

Attorney Smith and his team are just amazing! I am so thankful for everything that they did in my custody case. Besides being very efficient, attorney Smith was always in a good mood, smiling and laughing every time we met with him. And we love his sense of humor!! We enjoyed going to his office f...or the hearings. The pre-hearing stress would vanish as soon as he would enter the room. A very special thank you to Skye for her kindness, availability and efficiency. But also to Julia and Melissa. If you need an attorney that would fight for you and who is affordable, don't look any further. I highly recommend him!

Fantastic Attorney

I hired Kurt Smith to help me with a custody issue. My kids mom and me decided to share custody of my son. But as time went on, it became clear the mom wasn't interested. She didn't do the child's reading with him. She didn't do the child's math with him. She didn't do the child's homework with ...him. As a result, my child's grades started slipping. I spoke to several attorneys, but Mr. Smith really impressed me with his knowledge of the law and his confidence that he could help get the judge to take notice of my case. Mr. Smith took my case to court and got me primary custody of my son. It wasn't an easy case. We had to go to trial. But Mr. Smith just kept telling me to stick with the program. I did and we won. Mr. Smith has a great office staff too. So glad I went with him.

I give TEN STARS!!!!

Where do I start?! Kurt Smith delivered a miracle for my family and I! I went to Kurt broken, frustrated, and lost. I had been victimized repeatedly by previous attorneys and refused child support and fair custody times over and over. Kurt took my family under his wing and FIXED EVERYTHING ..... He i...mmediately acted, hearing ALL my concerns. In less than 6 months, Kurt won child support and fair custody times for me and my family! Kurt's knowledge, professionalism, tenacity, and AMAZING customer service restored my family's happiness! We got our lives back!!! Kurt's office family was also AMAZING! Kelley ALWAYS answered my questions with care and sympathy, and Christie handled billing efficiently and more than fairly! Thank you Kurt and the Smith Legal Group family! You are truly a gift from God, and we appreciate you!

Snake Charmer

I hired Kurt Smith to help me with a divorce. After presenting me with several options, I decided to proceed with a contested divorce. However, after a few months, Mr. Smith held a settlement conference with me and my ex husband. During the settlement conference, which took several hours, Mr. Smit...h convinced my husband to let me have primary custody of my kids. I got more child support than I thought I would and he even got me alimony. Mr. Smith did all of this without even having to go to trial. This man can charm the skin off a snake. And he did too.
