Awesome lawyer here!

Jeff was very knowledgeable and kind. He kept me up to date every step of the way. He definitely knows what he's doing . He's a great lawyer and a great guy.

Highly recommended.

Mr. Smith represented me in a very difficult and contentious divorce and yet somehow made the process extremely straight forward and manageable. He was always prompt and responsive to my questions/concerns and would always keep me informed every step of the way. This was my first experience hiring an... attorney, and am pleased to highly recommend Mr. Smith as a highly professional and effective representative.

Handled my very tricky divorce - Thanks!

Mr. Smith helped me through what turned out to be a very difficult divorce. I appreciated his work on my behalf and that he made sure at every step that I knew what was going on...something my previous attorney had no idea how to do. I would definitely recommend Mr. Smith and his firm to anyone in ...need of a good family law attorney. Thanks again!

Well done, Jeffrey Smith.

Mr. Smith served our family very well. He was a good listener, provided very good advice and demonstrated to us that he and his law firm are well respected by local D.A.s and court staff. He did a very good job of explaining our options and kept us very well informed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
