The Smith Law Group is committed to providing you exceptional legal services for a fair and reasonable fee. Our goal is get your case completed, and your issue resolved, as quickly and efficiently as possible, with the best possible outcome for your specific situation.

At your initial consultation, we will evaluate your case and give you an honest assessment, consider the amount of recovery/assets available, the chances of winning, and the fees required to handle your case.

While we will use all of our experience and skill to fight for you, and work hard to get you everything you deserve, it is important to understand that no hearing outcome is ever completely predictable.

Keeping that in mind, it is important to consider the following points when hiring Smith Law Group (or any family law attorney) to represent you:

• Our time is your money. Attorneys sell their knowledge of the law and time spent on your matters. Emails, letters, phone calls, consultations, as well as preparing documents for court hearings, are all billable, so save your attorney time for important legal issues, not every day issues that you could work out yourself.
• We are not counselors, we are attorneys. We will not be able to solve all of your personal, or interpersonal, issues. Here again, it is important for us to spend time on actual legal matters, to keep your costs down. Smith Law Group will provide you educational material relative to your situation and case, and help educate you during the entire legal process.
• You don’t necessarily get to select the specific attorney that will represent you. At Smith Law Group, we will select the best attorney for your particular situation. All of our attorneys are experts in their areas of practice, and have extensive experience with successful outcomes.
• Family law cases are not often outright won by either side. There is almost always a balancing between both sides by the court. Outcomes are often not predictable. You are bound by the facts of your own case. Lawyers can only help you present your facts in the most favorable way for you under the law. We cannot change the facts of your case.
• With regard to a custody case, it is important to remember that your child is half someone else’s, both biologically and legally. The court wants every child to have both parents in their life as much as possible. Time will heal a lot of things, and make getting along with the other side easier.
• We are not here to get retribution for you; we are here to get you everything you deserve under the law and to ensure that, if you have children, they are left in the best possible position for their future health and happiness.
• With regard to property division cases, we will present possible scenarios, with the goal of working toward a settlement, as opposed to more expensive litigation. It is important to not spend more money on the legal process of dividing property than what the property is actually worth. You will benefit from our extensive experience on how to avoid difficulties, how to work effectively with opposing parties, and find the most efficient method of settling.
• We are always looking at ways to improve our client experience, particularly in these times. We use the most up-to-date computer and electronic services available to ensure you case is handled as efficiently, quickly and professionally as possible, without the need for in-person office visits.

No matter what family law issue you are currently presented with, the attorneys at Smith Law Group have the many years of experience and skills necessary to help you.
