Costly and lack of transparency

After receiving several community recommendations for this firm, I hired them to help with a custody and child support case. Although an order was granted, there was still a lot of conflict with the OP which to additional filings and requests. I was constantly having to make corrections to documents ...prepared by the office and even complained about the quality of work. I was initially told that having an attorney is really a luxury; based on the $12K that was spent in approximately 6 months that seems true however not based on the service as I was constantly having to follow up and still did not have a firm grasp on what was going on in the case.

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Singleton Smith Law Offices. Before meeting with Diane, I was filled with anxiety and overwhelmed. Diane and her colleagues, put my heart and mind at ease with their expertise and wisdom. Diane was informative, professional, understanding and helped me immensely. I couldn’t ima...gine going through this process without them. Don’t hesitate when thinking of hiring Single Smith Law Offices, you will be happy you did. Truly grateful for Diane and this amazing office. Thank you for making a divorce, child custody and spousal support a more peaceful experience with your excellent services.

Truly a Blessing

The team at Singleton Smith is beyond capable of handling difficult divorces. Within a few hours of securing their representation they were taking action in fighting for my children. They knew what was important to me and were very aggressive in making sure that my kids were a priority and that I was... not taken advantage of. Their representation truly means that you don’t worry. They are a team of dedicated, professional, aggressive, savy, knowledgeable, well practiced, and unbreakable people. They never spent my money uselessly, I was always treated as a person not customer, and there was no aspect of my case that slipped through the cracks. In fact, they were such an impressive representation that MY HUSBAND WENT THRU 4 ATTORNEYS TRYING TO FIGHT ME!! I spoke with my paralegal Kendra all the time and really made me feel like I was a priority. She always had an answer for me, is incredibly organized, and always took the time to listen to me with genuine care. She didn’t only perform the duties of a paralegal on my case. Kendra emotionally supported me without judgement and gave me the necessary knowledge without influence so that I could make some of the most important decisions of my life. Divorce is not a business decision, and this law office did a phenomenal job ensuring that my divorce ( and just so happens reconciliation of marriage) went as smoothly as possible whole recognizing that I am a mother and human being.

THE BEST!!!!

I went through a nasty divorce that I put off for several years, but after a consultation with Diane along with the help of her great staff, I have to say, I am finally divorced as of last week and standing on my own two feet. IT'S DONE... Thank You DIANE and STAFF, you guys are GREAT! Diane was the...re every step of the way in court and fought for what was important to me and my children. Even going through a restraining order to protect my kids, it's all worked out. I couldn't have done it without her! YOU ARE THE BEST!!
