Finding Caitlin M. (Stewart) Smith to represent me in Arkansas was pure serendipity. After a negligent auto repair caused my hood to fly up to shatter my windshield while I was driving, I searched for an attorney in the proper jurisdiction to make a claim against the servicer. In the two years since, as Caitlin’s client, she has delivered on everything that I could ask for. She has been incredibly responsive, thorough, tough when vouching for me, and incredibly compassionate toward me throughout the entire process. From the beginning, I have felt as though she were in the trenches with me after my claim was repeatedly denied without explanation. We filed suit and ultimately the matter was settled in my favor; in fact, collection is underway. I have had to work with an attorney for another matter before, and that experience compared to this one with Caitlin has been night and day. Legal processes by their nature require patience, but it’s nice to have someone who both knows her craft and is totally relatable working through the system alongside you. I am very grateful to have found and worked with Caitlin. I only hope her practice continues to expand so that others can benefit from her representation.

Quick to defend and very much on top of things Made the court process painless and simple 10/10 would hire again

My husband and I worked with Ms. Stewart to get our end of life legal challenges in order. After several in person talks with her we chose a revocable trust. She carefully explained all aspects of this choice to us. She is thoughtful, careful and willing to take the time needed for her clients to become comfortable with the legal language involved. We have confidence that our choice to use her to resolve this issue is the best one we could have made.

Ms. Stewart provided my wife and me with great counsel and helped us mitigate extensive debt. She successfully negotiated many favorable settlements and provided us with excellent representation in the few instances where creditors sought relief through the courts. She was always responsive and was more approachable than other attorneys I have had experience with. I would highly recommend her for a variety of legal services.

When I started receiving constant harassing phone calls about a debt I thought had been written off years ago, I called Caitlin because I know she does a lot of good work for debtors who have collections problems. After asking two or three questions she was able to determine that the claim was barred by the statute of limitation. Caitlin told me exactly what to say to make the calls stop and it worked like a charm.
