In my many years of experience in dealing with numerous attorneys, both through my work and personally, I have had the pleasure to know quite a few High Character, Highly Competent Attorneys, serving in a variety of areas. Scott Smiley, without question, is the BEST. His communication level, his staff, (especially his right hand Ms Hagood), his expertise, is on a level I have yet to experience or have seen, whether personally, or through my many friends and deep network. His fees are fair, his research and preparation A+, and his Professionalism, unmatched, in this most important and sensitive area, Family Law. I truly ENDORSE Scott Smiley with my strongest recommendation. If you need Truth to Prevail, if you need sensitivity without the fluff, and DO DESERVE the Results that deep in your heart, you SHOULD RECEIVE, then contact Scott at 386-5777. This is my 1st Avco review, yet I was compelled to write after my experiences with Scott and his fine staff this year.
I hired Scott Smiley to handle my daughter's complicated and difficult divorce case. He was very thorough and very much able to handle this case. He was strong in court, but in the office he is a very caring person who is there for his clients. His assistant is capable of handling anything that comes her way. This is a very professional law office and am blessed that we found him through this web site. I highly recommend him.
After interviewing three attorneys, I decided to hire Scott Smiley to represent me in my divorce case after a marriage of 30 years. The discovery process required a lot of research and information gathering from me. My Mother died during this period, which required me to delay delivery of the discovery materials to Scott's office. He and his assistant, Colleen, were very kind, understanding, and patient. I found this very helpful. On the day before my mediation, Scott and I sat in his office where Scott set my mind at ease by explaining my options, and what to expect during the mediation, which reduced the stress and uncertainty that had been keeping me awake at night. During the actual mediation process is where Scott's professional prowess became obvious. He was there not only to represent me, but also mainly to protect my interests and rights. I felt like I was with a friend who acted as a guardian. The opposing attorney is rumoured to be a good attorney. However from my experience, I will say this: If lawyering were horse racing, I'd cast my bet on Smiley to win every time. (I almost feel sorry for the opposing side.) If you are looking for a divorce attorney to represent you, I highly recommend you hire Scott Smiley, before your future ex does.
Mr. Smiley was so quick and thorough, but also kind and patient with his work. He is amazing and has a very direct, no nonsense approach, and makes everything easy to understand. I would highly recommend Scott Smiley to anyone going through a family crisis and seeking resolution.
Scott Smiley exemplifies the highest regard for the counsel, he has represented me for 17 years and has always and continues to perform at the highest level. He currently represents me in a most difficult case and delivers on every task efficiently and punctually. I, stand firm when I recommend his services when referencing outstanding practice in law.
When my previous divorce attorney retired, I was referred to Mr. Smiley based on his knowledge of family law and his ability in court. During my initial consultation, Mr. Smiley didn't sell me a story and told it to me straight, so I hired him immediately. Throughout my contentious journey, Mr. Smiley fought very hard to protect my children and my rights, always being fair and keeping my family in mind. His presence and command in court are among the best, exuding confidence with no hint of egotism. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel grateful to have Mr. Smiley on my team.
I retained Scott last year to handle a modification of support that I am paying to my contentious and extremely uncooperative ex-spouse. This has been a long and drawn out case due to some extenuating circumstances regarding my ex's health and relocation out of the state. He has been thorough knowledgeable and thoughtful in his recommended courses of actions surrounding my situation and certainly brought to light many issues that I would not have thought of or considered. I am confident he will get this case resolved to my satisfaction in the very near future. I have great deal of respect for Scott and his paralegal, Colleen, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking a family law attorney.
Mr. Smiley is an extremely smart, compassionate and ethical lawyer. Not only does Mr. Smiley fully understand family law, he is a Southern Gentlemen that understands all the players in Tallahassee (judges, opposing lawyers, etc.) and how to communicate with his clients – which is often not easy given the emotion that is typically present in his clients due to nature of family law cases. Furthermore Mr. Smiley truly cares about his clients – even after his representation of me ended we occasionally send emails to check in on each other.
Scott Smiley has been my attorney now on 2 separate, but related issues, over the course of the past 6 years. I honestly would not trust my case with any other attorney. Scott Smiley is, hands down, the best choice I could've ever made when choosing an attorney to handle my very complicated divorce and it's related issues. Scott has always been very informative and straightforward with his advice. He is tenacious in court, does his homework and is always more than prepared to refute opposing counsel with appropriate and irrefutable facts to protect his client. He is honest and trustworthy...and I am fortunate to have him on my side. I would recommend Scott Smiley, and his knowledgeable and hard working assistant, to anyone who needs a competent, trustworthy and tenacious attorney to represent them in tough family law situations.
Scott handled my divorce case with extreme professionalism & care. He concisely addressed all of my concerns and gave me a realistic expectation of what to expect. He respected my ideas regarding settlement and child custody and patiently endured a 12.5 hour mediation to ensure I received everything to which I was entitled. I am extremely grateful for his diligence & will refer him at every opportunity.
