A coworker that knew I needed a divorce attorney recommended Jan in 2007. I'm Asian and at the time spoke limited English. She patiently listened to my story and assured me that she could help. I suggested having a translator for the court room but Jan told me that she understood me well and that together we would present the case. She turned an impossible situation into a very good settlement for me and my children. Since then I think of Jan as a friend I can reach out to for any legal needs including my will, healthcare and durable powers of attorney. Most recently she helped my son with his own child custody settlement. If you need legal help I highly recommend Jan Holleywell-Smith, she is a very good attorney.

My job recommended using Jan to handle my divorce and after the entire process, I am blown away at her focus, intelligence and patience of ME to get this done. Another law firm took advantage of me, but Jan restored my faith in lawyers and I will recommend her to anyone who seeks a lawyer. I need at least 1,000 STARS to rate this phenomenal lawyer!

I was desperate to find someone to help me get divorced, and I feel so blessed to have found Ms. Jan. She really listened to me and did everything to get me out of my marriage as quickly as possible. I couldn't be happier and recommend her to everyone I can.

I was referred to Jan to handle my divorce and I will never regret my choice of choosing her as my legal counsel. Jan knows and understands all the ins and outs of the law and the courts. Her advice, while not always what I wanted to hear, always proved to be the spot on. She was very skilled in the way she cut through the noise and got to the issues that really mattered and tactfully nudged me along the process even when I was hesitant and unsure at times. I will always appreciate her efforts and guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone going through this unpleasant experience.

Ms Janet Holeywell-Smith was very professional, listened to my issue and reviewed the legal documents I had. She gave me a fair assessment of how to proceed. She gave a consultation and 1.5 hour review. Which saved me considerable stress, time and money. I would highly recommend her for family law cases in the DFW area.

Jan represented us over several years in a very difficult, drawn out custody case with multiple court hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable, PREPARED, and offers exceptional advice and counsel. Her follow through, attention to detail, organization and preparedness in the courtroom where unsurpassed. She is extremely responsive to email and phone calls and truly cares about her clients. Her rates and billing are also very fair. We switched from a different attorney and cant begin to say how glad we are that we did. She won our case!

When I read a positive review on the internet, I wonder if it was really written by the client or someone in the office. For that reason, I'm giving Janet Holeywell-Smith permission to release my phone number to anyone who's interested in speaking with me. Please take the time to read this review. I have been writing it for16 years. Q: What do you call 5000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A: A good start! Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? A: The lawyer's lips are moving. Q: What's black and brown and looks good on a lawyer? A: A Doberman! Lawyers are the butt of many jokes. They rank right there with used car salesman and politicians. When you need a good attorney however, you need a good attorney. Janet Holeywell-Smith is a very best. I first contacted Janet Holeywell-Smith in August of 1999. My ex wife and the mother of my then 14 year old child moved to Texas. I am the custodial parent. Our son lives with me in another state. Our son was diagnosed with autism and mental retardation. I consider Janet Holeywell-Smith part of my family. So you will have to forgive me; for the rest of this review I will refer to her as Jan. From 1989 when my divorce was final until 1999, I tried to get my ex-wife to do the right thing. I was spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. Not only did my ex-wife refused to help me support our son; she denied even being his mother. Finally, out of sheer desperation, I contacted Jan's office by phone. I spoke to her directly. She must have talked to me for over an hour. She gave me very sound legal advice. I knew immediately I wanted this woman on my son's team. Needless to say I hired her that afternoon. Almost immediately my ex-wife was persuaded to do the right thing by her son. My son begin receiving monies shortly after hiring Jan. Remember from 1989 when the divorce was final until 1999 when Jan was hired, my son had received no support from his mother. Because my son is special needs, he will require support for the rest of his life. Jan has advocated for my son from that day in August 1999 until today. Literally Jan is filing motions for my son in July of 2016. My son is now 31 years of age. I have never met Jan. She has helped my son without my having to leave my state.

Janet Honeywell-Smith handled my divorce for me. I am a male in my 40s and she handled the case with class, but also firmness and fairness. She was very responsive to every aspect of my case and my inquiries, even with some of the crazier aspects of my situation. I additionally hired Ms. Honeywell-Smith to finalize the adoption of my daughter........ again, it was handled with the highest of attention and promptness. Our family is very appreciative of all of the help and service we received from Janet and her staff.

Jan thanks for everything.

I suggested having a translator for the court room but Jan told me that she understood me well and that together we would present the case. She turned an impossible situation into a very good settlement for me and my children. Since then I think of Jan as a friend I can reach out to for any legal needs including my will, healthcare and durable powers of attorney. Most recently she helped my son with his own child custody settlement. If you need legal help I highly recommend Jan Holleywell-Smith, she is a very good attorney.

My job recommended using Jan to handle my divorce and after the entire process, I am blown away at her focus, intelligence and patience of ME to get this done. Another law firm took advantage of me, but Jan restored my faith in lawyers and I will recommend her to anyone who seeks a lawyer. I need at least 1,000 STARS to rate this phenomenal lawyer!

I was desperate to find someone to help me get divorced, and I feel so blessed to have found Ms. Jan. She really listened to me and did everything to get me out of my marriage as quickly as possible. I couldn't be happier and recommend her to everyone I can.

I was referred to Jan to handle my divorce and I will never regret my choice of choosing her as my legal counsel. Jan knows and understands all the ins and outs of the law and the courts. Her advice, while not always what I wanted to hear, always proved to be the spot on. She was very skilled in the way she cut through the noise and got to the issues that really mattered and tactfully nudged me along the process even when I was hesitant and unsure at times. I will always appreciate her efforts and guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone going through this unpleasant experience.

Ms Janet Holeywell-Smith was very professional, listened to my issue and reviewed the legal documents I had. She gave me a fair assessment of how to proceed. She gave a consultation and 1.5 hour review. Which saved me considerable stress, time and money. I would highly recommend her for family law cases in the DFW area.

Jan represented us over several years in a very difficult, drawn out custody case with multiple court hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable, PREPARED, and offers exceptional advice and counsel. Her follow through, attention to detail, organization and preparedness in the courtroom where unsurpassed. She is extremely responsive to email and phone calls and truly cares about her clients. Her rates and billing are also very fair. We switched from a different attorney and cant begin to say how glad we are that we did. She won our case!

When I read a positive review on the internet, I wonder if it was really written by the client or someone in the office. For that reason, I'm giving Janet Holeywell-Smith permission to release my phone number to anyone who's interested in speaking with me. Please take the time to read this review. I have been writing it for16 years. Q: What do you call 5000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A: A good start! Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? A: The lawyer's lips are moving. Q: What's black and brown and looks good on a lawyer? A: A Doberman! Lawyers are the butt of many jokes. They rank right there with used car salesman and politicians. When you need a good attorney however, you need a good attorney. Janet Holeywell-Smith is a very best. I first contacted Janet Holeywell-Smith in August of 1999. My ex wife and the mother of my then 14 year old child moved to Texas. I am the custodial parent. Our son lives with me in another state. Our son was diagnosed with autism and mental retardation. I consider Janet Holeywell-Smith part of my family. So you will have to forgive me; for the rest of this review I will refer to her as Jan. From 1989 when my divorce was final until 1999, I tried to get my ex-wife to do the right thing. I was spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. Not only did my ex-wife refused to help me support our son; she denied even being his mother. Finally, out of sheer desperation, I contacted Jan's office by phone. I spoke to her directly. She must have talked to me for over an hour. She gave me very sound legal advice. I knew immediately I wanted this woman on my son's team. Needless to say I hired her that afternoon. Almost immediately my ex-wife was persuaded to do the right thing by her son. My son begin receiving monies shortly after hiring Jan. Remember from 1989 when the divorce was final until 1999 when Jan was hired, my son had received no support from his mother. Because my son is special needs, he will require support for the rest of his life. Jan has advocated for my son from that day in August 1999 until today. Literally Jan is filing motions for my son in July of 2016. My son is now 31 years of age. I have never met Jan. She has helped my son without my having to leave my state.

Janet Honeywell-Smith handled my divorce for me. I am a male in my 40s and she handled the case with class, but also firmness and fairness. She was very responsive to every aspect of my case and my inquiries, even with some of the crazier aspects of my situation. I additionally hired Ms. Honeywell-Smith to finalize the adoption of my daughter........ again, it was handled with the highest of attention and promptness. Our family is very appreciative of all of the help and service we received from Janet and her staff.

My job recommended using Jan to handle my divorce and after the entire process, I am blown away at her focus, intelligence and patience of ME to get this done. Another law firm took advantage of me, but Jan restored my faith in lawyers and I will recommend her to anyone who seeks a lawyer. I need at least 1,000 STARS to rate this phenomenal lawyer!

I was desperate to find someone to help me get divorced, and I feel so blessed to have found Ms. Jan. She really listened to me and did everything to get me out of my marriage as quickly as possible. I couldn't be happier and recommend her to everyone I can.

I was referred to Jan to handle my divorce and I will never regret my choice of choosing her as my legal counsel. Jan knows and understands all the ins and outs of the law and the courts. Her advice, while not always what I wanted to hear, always proved to be the spot on. She was very skilled in the way she cut through the noise and got to the issues that really mattered and tactfully nudged me along the process even when I was hesitant and unsure at times. I will always appreciate her efforts and guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone going through this unpleasant experience.

Ms Janet Holeywell-Smith was very professional, listened to my issue and reviewed the legal documents I had. She gave me a fair assessment of how to proceed. She gave a consultation and 1.5 hour review. Which saved me considerable stress, time and money. I would highly recommend her for family law cases in the DFW area.

Jan represented us over several years in a very difficult, drawn out custody case with multiple court hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable, PREPARED, and offers exceptional advice and counsel. Her follow through, attention to detail, organization and preparedness in the courtroom where unsurpassed. She is extremely responsive to email and phone calls and truly cares about her clients. Her rates and billing are also very fair. We switched from a different attorney and cant begin to say how glad we are that we did. She won our case!

When I read a positive review on the internet, I wonder if it was really written by the client or someone in the office. For that reason, I'm giving Janet Holeywell-Smith permission to release my phone number to anyone who's interested in speaking with me. Please take the time to read this review. I have been writing it for16 years. Q: What do you call 5000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A: A good start! Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? A: The lawyer's lips are moving. Q: What's black and brown and looks good on a lawyer? A: A Doberman! Lawyers are the butt of many jokes. They rank right there with used car salesman and politicians. When you need a good attorney however, you need a good attorney. Janet Holeywell-Smith is a very best. I first contacted Janet Holeywell-Smith in August of 1999. My ex wife and the mother of my then 14 year old child moved to Texas. I am the custodial parent. Our son lives with me in another state. Our son was diagnosed with autism and mental retardation. I consider Janet Holeywell-Smith part of my family. So you will have to forgive me; for the rest of this review I will refer to her as Jan. From 1989 when my divorce was final until 1999, I tried to get my ex-wife to do the right thing. I was spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. Not only did my ex-wife refused to help me support our son; she denied even being his mother. Finally, out of sheer desperation, I contacted Jan's office by phone. I spoke to her directly. She must have talked to me for over an hour. She gave me very sound legal advice. I knew immediately I wanted this woman on my son's team. Needless to say I hired her that afternoon. Almost immediately my ex-wife was persuaded to do the right thing by her son. My son begin receiving monies shortly after hiring Jan. Remember from 1989 when the divorce was final until 1999 when Jan was hired, my son had received no support from his mother. Because my son is special needs, he will require support for the rest of his life. Jan has advocated for my son from that day in August 1999 until today. Literally Jan is filing motions for my son in July of 2016. My son is now 31 years of age. I have never met Jan. She has helped my son without my having to leave my state.

Janet Honeywell-Smith handled my divorce for me. I am a male in my 40s and she handled the case with class, but also firmness and fairness. She was very responsive to every aspect of my case and my inquiries, even with some of the crazier aspects of my situation. I additionally hired Ms. Honeywell-Smith to finalize the adoption of my daughter........ again, it was handled with the highest of attention and promptness. Our family is very appreciative of all of the help and service we received from Janet and her staff.

Jan thanks for everything.

A coworker that knew I needed a divorce attorney recommended Jan in 2007. I'm Asian and at the time spoke limited English. She patiently listened to my story and assured me that she could help. I suggested having a translator for the court room but Jan told me that she understood me well and that together we would present the case. She turned an impossible situation into a very good settlement for me and my children. Since then I think of Jan as a friend I can reach out to for any legal needs including my will, healthcare and durable powers of attorney. Most recently she helped my son with his own child custody settlement. If you need legal help I highly recommend Jan Holleywell-Smith, she is a very good attorney.

I was referred to Jan to handle my divorce and I will never regret my choice of choosing her as my legal counsel. Jan knows and understands all the ins and outs of the law and the courts. Her advice, while not always what I wanted to hear, always proved to be the spot on. She was very skilled in the way she cut through the noise and got to the issues that really mattered and tactfully nudged me along the process even when I was hesitant and unsure at times. I will always appreciate her efforts and guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone going through this unpleasant experience.

Ms Janet Holeywell-Smith was very professional, listened to my issue and reviewed the legal documents I had. She gave me a fair assessment of how to proceed. She gave a consultation and 1.5 hour review. Which saved me considerable stress, time and money. I would highly recommend her for family law cases in the DFW area.

Jan represented us over several years in a very difficult, drawn out custody case with multiple court hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable, PREPARED, and offers exceptional advice and counsel. Her follow through, attention to detail, organization and preparedness in the courtroom where unsurpassed. She is extremely responsive to email and phone calls and truly cares about her clients. Her rates and billing are also very fair. We switched from a different attorney and cant begin to say how glad we are that we did. She won our case!

When I read a positive review on the internet, I wonder if it was really written by the client or someone in the office. For that reason, I'm giving Janet Holeywell-Smith permission to release my phone number to anyone who's interested in speaking with me. Please take the time to read this review. I have been writing it for16 years. Q: What do you call 5000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A: A good start! Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? A: The lawyer's lips are moving. Q: What's black and brown and looks good on a lawyer? A: A Doberman! Lawyers are the butt of many jokes. They rank right there with used car salesman and politicians. When you need a good attorney however, you need a good attorney. Janet Holeywell-Smith is a very best. I first contacted Janet Holeywell-Smith in August of 1999. My ex wife and the mother of my then 14 year old child moved to Texas. I am the custodial parent. Our son lives with me in another state. Our son was diagnosed with autism and mental retardation. I consider Janet Holeywell-Smith part of my family. So you will have to forgive me; for the rest of this review I will refer to her as Jan. From 1989 when my divorce was final until 1999, I tried to get my ex-wife to do the right thing. I was spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. Not only did my ex-wife refused to help me support our son; she denied even being his mother. Finally, out of sheer desperation, I contacted Jan's office by phone. I spoke to her directly. She must have talked to me for over an hour. She gave me very sound legal advice. I knew immediately I wanted this woman on my son's team. Needless to say I hired her that afternoon. Almost immediately my ex-wife was persuaded to do the right thing by her son. My son begin receiving monies shortly after hiring Jan. Remember from 1989 when the divorce was final until 1999 when Jan was hired, my son had received no support from his mother. Because my son is special needs, he will require support for the rest of his life. Jan has advocated for my son from that day in August 1999 until today. Literally Jan is filing motions for my son in July of 2016. My son is now 31 years of age. I have never met Jan. She has helped my son without my having to leave my state.

Janet Honeywell-Smith handled my divorce for me. I am a male in my 40s and she handled the case with class, but also firmness and fairness. She was very responsive to every aspect of my case and my inquiries, even with some of the crazier aspects of my situation. I additionally hired Ms. Honeywell-Smith to finalize the adoption of my daughter........ again, it was handled with the highest of attention and promptness. Our family is very appreciative of all of the help and service we received from Janet and her staff.

This attorney was the best i could have come across during my divorce. Everything she told me to do, as a single father fighting for custody, was precisely true. it was a lot of work but in the end there was no doubt she knew what she was doing and i thank her tremendously. me and my two beautiful children now live and prosper as the family should have in the beginning. Jan thanks for everything.

A coworker that knew I needed a divorce attorney recommended Jan in 2007. I'm Asian and at the time spoke limited English. She patiently listened to my story and assured me that she could help. I suggested having a translator for the court room but Jan told me that she understood me well and that together we would present the case. She turned an impossible situation into a very good settlement for me and my children. Since then I think of Jan as a friend I can reach out to for any legal needs including my will, healthcare and durable powers of attorney. Most recently she helped my son with his own child custody settlement. If you need legal help I highly recommend Jan Holleywell-Smith, she is a very good attorney.

Ms Janet Holeywell-Smith was very professional, listened to my issue and reviewed the legal documents I had. She gave me a fair assessment of how to proceed. She gave a consultation and 1.5 hour review. Which saved me considerable stress, time and money. I would highly recommend her for family law cases in the DFW area.

Jan represented us over several years in a very difficult, drawn out custody case with multiple court hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable, PREPARED, and offers exceptional advice and counsel. Her follow through, attention to detail, organization and preparedness in the courtroom where unsurpassed. She is extremely responsive to email and phone calls and truly cares about her clients. Her rates and billing are also very fair. We switched from a different attorney and cant begin to say how glad we are that we did. She won our case!

When I read a positive review on the internet, I wonder if it was really written by the client or someone in the office. For that reason, I'm giving Janet Holeywell-Smith permission to release my phone number to anyone who's interested in speaking with me. Please take the time to read this review. I have been writing it for16 years. Q: What do you call 5000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A: A good start! Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? A: The lawyer's lips are moving. Q: What's black and brown and looks good on a lawyer? A: A Doberman! Lawyers are the butt of many jokes. They rank right there with used car salesman and politicians. When you need a good attorney however, you need a good attorney. Janet Holeywell-Smith is a very best. I first contacted Janet Holeywell-Smith in August of 1999. My ex wife and the mother of my then 14 year old child moved to Texas. I am the custodial parent. Our son lives with me in another state. Our son was diagnosed with autism and mental retardation. I consider Janet Holeywell-Smith part of my family. So you will have to forgive me; for the rest of this review I will refer to her as Jan. From 1989 when my divorce was final until 1999, I tried to get my ex-wife to do the right thing. I was spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. Not only did my ex-wife refused to help me support our son; she denied even being his mother. Finally, out of sheer desperation, I contacted Jan's office by phone. I spoke to her directly. She must have talked to me for over an hour. She gave me very sound legal advice. I knew immediately I wanted this woman on my son's team. Needless to say I hired her that afternoon. Almost immediately my ex-wife was persuaded to do the right thing by her son. My son begin receiving monies shortly after hiring Jan. Remember from 1989 when the divorce was final until 1999 when Jan was hired, my son had received no support from his mother. Because my son is special needs, he will require support for the rest of his life. Jan has advocated for my son from that day in August 1999 until today. Literally Jan is filing motions for my son in July of 2016. My son is now 31 years of age. I have never met Jan. She has helped my son without my having to leave my state.

Janet Honeywell-Smith handled my divorce for me. I am a male in my 40s and she handled the case with class, but also firmness and fairness. She was very responsive to every aspect of my case and my inquiries, even with some of the crazier aspects of my situation. I additionally hired Ms. Honeywell-Smith to finalize the adoption of my daughter........ again, it was handled with the highest of attention and promptness. Our family is very appreciative of all of the help and service we received from Janet and her staff.

Excellent Lawyer! She got me through a very difficult time in my life. Before consulting with her, I couldn't even get out of bed. She gave me the confidence I needed and I got the settlement I expected!

This attorney was the best i could have come across during my divorce. Everything she told me to do, as a single father fighting for custody, was precisely true. it was a lot of work but in the end there was no doubt she knew what she was doing and i thank her tremendously. me and my two beautiful children now live and prosper as the family should have in the beginning. Jan thanks for everything.
