Reviews

It has taken me a while to write this review because of the emotional turmoil I was dealing with from my case. They agreed to take me on as a client during a time they weren’t able to serve me appropriately. I was mocked by Tamara after dealing with domestic violence; she even insisted on me saying “yes ma’am” to her in the middle of a horrible custody battle as if she were my superior. I showed up to drop off paperwork, and their admin person answers the door DRUNK and refused to let me speak with my lawyer because they were “celebrating.” She attacked my friend who was with me, and used obnoxious profanities on their property (we have video evidence.) I obviously wanted to terminate my contract with them, but it Turns out they had never even submitted at the clerk to take it on! They billed me over half of my retainer in a weeks timeframe!! Shady people who don’t give two F’s about other humans…
Ralph knows how to handle family law. There is a reason he has been doing this for so long. He will shoot it to you straight and he gets the job done. Every single part of my divorce was handled in just over a year from separation.
This review is on Tamara A. Smith of Pennington & Smith. Tampers with evidence but untouchable because her husband is the district attorney.
Expensive, hope they are worth it. Turns out they are not worth the money.
Only if you want the BEST!!
