Honest, direct, knowledgeable
Working with this lawyer ended up being nothing but a frustrating and fruitless waste of time and money. Not knowing any better, we hired her to help us with a trust matter that was being probated in Arkansas. We paid her for several calls and e-mails and she strung us along for months without getting anywhere, until she passed us off to an assistant who eventually told us they really couldn’t handle the case because they weren’t familiar with Arkansas law. She wasted a lot of our time and a couple thousand dollars worth of our money. And on a side note, communication with clients appears to be very difficult for her. She speaks very quickly and uses legalize that is over the head of a layman. We now have a wonderful attorney who has gotten more done in 2 weeks than Ms. Smith got done in 4 months! My family and I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER.
