Posted by Sydel | June 25, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Sydel Rhema

I needed an attorney when I was struggling with my ex over custody and child support. Mr. Smither helped walk me through the process and was there for every court visit. I was able to reach him quickly on the phone in emergencies and normal texts/emails/etc were returned within a day or two. He worke...d hard on my case and was very understanding when it took me some time to pay him. I’ve recommended him to multiple people already. He’s a great lawyer.

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.
