I found Attorny Smith to be very professional in his interaction with me. He was very knowledgeable in what needed to happen and what would be the best thing to do for me. I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and family in need of a great attorney.
I hired Mr Smith to amend my parenting plan. He made the process very easy. I was most impressed with the level of communication. I never felt like I was "in the dark". I would recommend him to anyone.
I retained Joe Smith recently due to a sudden change in my personal financial situation. Joe Smith showed compassion, patience, and understanding. It was clearly evident from our first meeting that he had my best interest at heart to solve my problem. I am very grateful for his expertise!
We live in Texas, but we hired Joe to handle my husband's child support case in Tennessee. I am SO glad we had him! They were unfairly garnishing amounts for health insurance through my husband's employer, even though she was already included on our healthcare plan. The opposing counsel was trying to squeeze every dime possible from us. Joe put a stop to the opposing counsel's tactics and won us a favorable judgement! He is very professional and timely responds to all of our inquiries, and we will continue to use him for all of our family law matters!
Joe help me with my divorce not only in the court room but also with the emotional and physical welfare of my Case. His holistic approach allowed me to prepare for whatever daggers were going to be thrown my way by my x-spouse. We resolved my case, child support, custody, assets in 4 months. I cannot thank Joe enough!!
