Radford James Smith

Radford Smith and his partner Garima Jain are wonderful, genuinely caring people, and they provided unmatched legal counsel on my behalf as the plaintiff in my divorce. I had the additional complication and distraction of a life-threatening illness which requires a significant amount of daily care. R...adford and Garima were extremely accommodating and made sure that opposing counsel was respectful of my medical challenges. Radford and Garima were deliberate in dealing with opposing counsel, without being provocative, and used their well tuned legal expertise to bring about a settlement, avoiding the expense of trial preparation and a trial. I can think of many opportunities where Radford and Garima could have taken a path that would have increased their billable hours, but instead, the path they chose prioritized what was best for me to achieve a swift and fair outcome. I estimate my costs would have been double what they were if we would have had to go to trial instead of a pre-trial settlement. I think that it’s typical for both parties to feel like a divorce settlement is unfair, but I felt like I got a more fair settlement than my ex. A decision to retain Smith Jain Stutzman is the first step to your freedom and an opportunity to get a fresh start to your life.

Even though Radford was a distant friend of the family I still interviewed with 4 other divorce attorneys. One never showed for the appointment, another never returned my calls, and the other did not sound confident I could get what I wanted. My meeting with Radford was professional and to the point.... After our in-person meeting, we were all on the same page and the bulk of the work was assigned to Garima Varshney, Esq. Garima was very professional, returned emails quickly, and pushed through the settlement hearing to get a fair outcome. My main objective was to keep my home which was paid for with medical settlement funds and she made that happen. It would have been nice not to involve lawyers but sometimes that's just not possible. So if you need a good attorney that is going to walk you through the process, this is the firm to hire.

Upon the very best advice, I dismissed my complaint of divorce. This outcome would not have been possible had it not been for this counsel & their wholesome approach. I cannot thank them enough for exercising the utmost decorum and professionalism throughout our proceedings. I felt they actually care...d about me, my wife, our family, and the lasting effects and consequences of our decision to separate. They did their best to talk me out of divorce and then flawlessly represented me when I stood my ground on my decision. My heartfelt gratitude shall remain yours for sound counsel and attentive case representation. The work they did here for me made all the difference. Please accept my most sincere thanks and appreciation!!!

I hired Mr. Smith for a custody matter. His knowledge of Nevada law is impressive. He is eloquent and persuasive in court. Polite and respectful; yet strong and unyielding in his position. I felt protected in the courtroom because his ability to understand the intricacies of the law and to persuade w...as truly inspiring. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who specializes in family law. I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

I hired Radford at the recommendation of my original divorce attorney who was very knowledgeable and responsive but who lost my case in court, even though the law was clearly on my side. That alone is indicative of Radford's reputation, and of how well-respected he is among his peers. He is extreme...ly knowledgeable, and I am sure he very quickly and efficiently handles non-contentious cases, but he is without doubt the one you need when you need to call in "the big guns." Radford won my case on appeal, before a completely unsympathetic judge who reluctantly ruled in my favor after Redford strongly reminded him of the law he was about to rule in conflict with. I am certain that most other attorneys would not have been able to save my case as he did. Without hesitation, and based on my personal experience, I strongly recommend Radford Smith.
