Attorney's attorney

I was married to a lawyer here in town. My husband wanted to do all of the divorce papers himself so that we could "save money". My husband explained that because he is a lawyer, he knows the law. He wrote up all the paperwork and told me to sign it right away or I would get nothing. I was scared.... I almost signed. Instead, I called Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith reviewed my paperwork for free. He showed my the parts of the paperwork that worked, showed me where my husband was playing games, and showed me where my husband was 100% wrong. He explained how Nevada law REALLY worked and what a judge was likely to rule if we went to trial. I decided to hire Mr. Smith to help me. Best decision ever. Mr. Smith wrote a letter to my husband and told him about the changes I wanted to make to the paperwork. After getting the paperwork, my husband was so mad! He came home and stormed around the house for a few days. (Yes...we were still living together.) A few days later, my husband handed me a new set of divorce paperwork. Guess what was in it...EVERTHING MR. SMITH ASKED FOR!!! I signed the papers that day and we were divorced a week later. My jack*ss ex moved out (I got the house!) and I have never been happier. Best part? It cost me under a thousand dollars. I know attorneys. I was married to one. Most of the attorneys I know are total DBs. Not this guy. Chill, smart, funny, and apparently, at least based on what happened with my ex, better at the law than most other attorneys in town. I would hire him again in a second (but I don't need to because I am never getting married again.) Thanks Kurt!

Better call Kurt!

I hired another attorney to handle my divorce. I won't mention the name because I don't want to give them a dime of free advertising. After "earning" my $15,000 retainer in about two months, they dropped me as a client because I didn't have another $15,000 to give them. I was ready to throw my han...ds up and give up. I told a friend about my situation. He told me I had better call Kurt. Kurt reviewed my case, explained where I was, and told me what I needed to do to finish the divorce. He finished my case for a $3000 flat fee. Unbelievable. 45 days later. Why didn't I call this guy first! A lot of people say you get what you pay for. That wasn't true in my case. I paid $15000 to another firm and got jacksh*t. But with Kurt, you pay for what you get. Mr. Smith was smart, no-nonsense, and reasonably priced. He told me what he would do for me, told me how much it would cost, and did the job. I would get emails from this guy at like 2:00 in the morning. I don't think he ever sleeps. But he earned my thanks and my trust. Next time I need an attorney, Kurt's the man the first time.

Laid back, knowledgable and helpful!

We just had our first consultation with Kurt after I researched him on this site. My husband and I are trying to negotiate bankruptcy and an amicable divorce. It is a very difficult situation, as it is in any legal dispute, and Kurt did a great job of being fair. He steers the conversation away fr...om the why and tries to focus on how to fix the issues at hand. At times I felt, understandably, emotional and he kept trying to keep us focused on brainstorming how to make a plan that works for both of us. It's hard to talk about these types of issues and I was impressed with how he handled our case. We are looking forward to working with Kurt.

The BEST lawyer EVER!

I cant say enough good things about Kurt Smith and his legal team at Smith Legal Group! I went through a very painful divorce with a TON of litigation. Kurt was with me every step of the way. He was amazing before all THREE judges I ended up appearing before, and out of the 5+ times we were in court... I won every single time. He was always on top of things, proactively calling me when something was up. And he was always there any time I had questions, taking his time to explain things to me in a way I could easily understand. I have only the best things to say about Kurt. He had been an amazing lawyer for me and a good friend. SO glad I found him. Thank you Smith Legal Group!

My daughter lives with me now!

I had a nasty divorce case. I needed to move out of state and didn't have the money to fight my husband. I agreed to leave my daughter with my husband. She was miserable. I hired Mr. Smith to fix it. He helped me prove that my daughter would be happier with me. Now she lives with me most of the... year. Great office. The whole office was great. They really made me feel like my case was important. Mr. Smith was really understanding about the fees too. He took a big chunk of money off of my case at the end.
