A True Professional

I hired Radford Smith to handle my divorce after a long-term marriage. If it hadn’t been for Radford’s keen knowledge and professional conduct I wouldn’t have fared as well as I did. He explained everything in an understandable way, made appropriate suggestions when necessary, and conducted himself a...s an honorable man, unlike the opposing counsel. One of the many things I appreciated about Radford was that he never engaged in character defamation or other calumny conduct to make his point. He stuck to the issues and won my case because he was smart, experienced, and knew the law. Garima, Ken, Jolene, and Tina were also very helpful and supportive. Their kindness helped get me through what was, undoubtedly, the worst time in my entire life. I walked in Radford’s office an absolute wreck and I’m now thriving—something I had never imagined possible. I whole-heartedly recommend Radford Smith and sincerely thank him and his staff for a job well done.

Great professional

He is a great professional. He helped my case in a very difficult and prolonged divorce. If I had to go through this again I would not hesitate and contact him again. (Hopefully I will not need to do this). I would strongly recommend him and his office.

One of the Best in Las Vegas

I have had Mr Smith Represent me on several cases. My divorce, Child custody, and Child support cases. He is very smart and tuned in to the court system. Mr Smith and his staff are always on top of everything and respond quickly. There is always someone to help and have answers.

Great lawyer, very busy and his time comes at a high price.

Radford handled my divorce. He is very knowledgeable of the law and has the skill to win any logical argument. Absolute professional and above board. Never stooped to the level of the slime lawyers we were facing. Always held the high road. Rad is a very busy lawyer with a high case load. Somet...imes it was difficult to contact him and communicate on time critical matters. Rad is also extremely expensive and will quickly run up a high bill so be ready to write the checks. Highly recommend if you have a extremely difficult divorce case that needs a real expert in the law.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
