Ms. Smith is very knowledgeable in her field of law and has mastered the ability to be both professional yet compassionate, traits that (it seems) are difficult to find in attorneys. Her professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding, leaving no stone unturned. Ms. Smith isn't simply collecting a paycheck. She genuinely cares for her clients and fights for THE best possible outcome. I'm completely happy with her services and I highly recommend her.

Phenomenal. Very reassuring. Actually LOOKS at your records and presents a good case. I'm not sure what happened with that other reviewer, but what I DO know, is thathere without her care and attention, I'd still be at square one. I've had a few lawyers for different reasons. She is the best one I've ever had!

Denise was absolutely amazing! I would and have recommended her to friends and family seeks legal representation. Hiring Denise to represent me was the best possible solution for a BAD situation in family court. She brought a 3 year long battle to an abrupt halt, ending in our favor. I could not be more pleased with the service she has provided my family.

The negative review someone posted about Denise is hogwash. I found her to be very competent, responsible, caring and very knowledgeable.

She was wonderful and the communication was excellent. A very honest woman who truly cares about the outcome of her clients case. She is and was wholeheartedly involved in both my case and was there to defend ME and she did above and beyond that. I recommend anybody looking for Legal Services to go with Denise. She truly went above and beyond any expectations I had for her.

Denise was great. I met her through a work function and was expressing some frustrations I was going through with my ex. Within a few days she had loads of information for me about my rights and how what he was doing wasn't right and it was okay for me to speak up and protect my child. Its hard for me to trust people, but I trust her fully. She knows her stuff and how to help people. I am so thankful she came into our lives when she did! She was so willing to help! I am forever grateful to you!

Denise is highly educated and worked above and beyond to help me with the safe return of my child. She worked into the night for us on multiple occasions, and drove approximately 200 miles one way just to assist us in finding Justice in a seemingly impossible case. Being of low income, Denise generously offered to work with my pay rate in order for me to be able afford such a high quality & highly qualified attorney. Denise is extremely dedicated & my son & I love her! An angel in disguise!

Denise M. LaFave Smith, has handled several legal matters for myself, as well as other family members. Her expertise, and professionalism, are by far better than any other attorney, I have used in the past. She not only handles our legal problems, but takes the time to EXPLAIN what she is doing and why. I have never trusted a lawyer, the way I trust her, and I would never use anyone but Denise, from now on!! She is good at what she does, and she does a lot, because she cares!!
