Attorney Brad Smith was amazing, resilient and ultimately got my case dismissed! I was definitely nervous after firing my first attorney for wanting me to take a plea bargain for something I knew I was not guilty of and Brad told me not to worry, he believed in me and will fight for me.

Working with Pete has not only been very educational, he kept me grounded in the most emotional battle I have yet to face. If you want the best, quit leaving voicemails with the rest and get the guy who answers every call, every email, and will fight for what's right.

We’re from out of state, helping a family member in Charlotte with legal issues related to a nightmare tenant and, later, her will, POA, estate and Ladybird deed needs. We did due diligence, conducting web research, checking reviews and credentials, and making some calls, but to some degree it was mostly luck that we found this firm. I say luck because we feel so grateful for the well-informed advice, responsive office support and excellent representation. When our situation got complicated by outside forces, they gave us thoughtful directives that paid off. In one or two instances, we feel that they went above and beyond to assist us (especially Stephen) when our own errors got us into significant time-pressure situations. We had the first opportunity to visit their offices on a recent trip and spotted a “core values” mission statement on a wall that lists “put the client first, always” — which has been our experience, for sure. We can confidently recommend.

I want to thank Stephen Bennett and the firm of Arnold & Smith, PLLC and express my utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the exceptional services Mr. Bennett provided on the Starlite project rezoning process in Monroe, NC. Mr. Bennett's expertise and dedication have truly made a significant impact on the positive outcome of the project. From our initial consultation, it was evident that he possessed an in-depth understanding of the local zoning regulations and the intricacies of the Monroe area. Throughout the entire rezoning process, he demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and responsiveness. His excellent negotiation skills and ability to build relationships with key stakeholders were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for the project. Mr. Bennett navigated the bureaucratic hurdles with ease, and your unwavering commitment to the success of the rezoning petition was evident every step of the way. Thank you and I highly recommend your services.

I use Ronnie Crisco as my custody attorney. We have been in the middle of a DISGUSTING custody battle for months. His entire team has handled my case with grace and care. Ronnie is very candid and tells you his best advice, not just what you want to hear as a parent. This is one of my favorite things about him. He listens, advises, and truly helps you through all the curveballs this type of thing throws at you. Paired with his experience, confidence and strong negotiating tactics, his best intentions for his clients and their families has brought us a long way (and we’re not finished yet!)

Hired Attorney Matthew R. Arnold

As my family law attorney, Matt Arnold has done an exceptional job in representing the interests of me and my child. I observed his overall performance as a lawyer and specifically in his capacity as a courtroom litigator. Ashley Crowder has also done an exceptional job in serving me in this case. Both Mr. Arnold and Ms.Crowder are knowledgeable, well-prepared, organized and well-versed in family court law.I highly recommend Mr. Arnold, Ms. Crowder, and the staff at Arnold and Smith, PLLC.
