Well, I wouldn't say that I liked the place as I went there to sign divorce papers, but everyone I dealt with was very nice, understanding, and accommodating during a difficult time.

Mr. McGhee is one of the best court appointed lawyers, if not the best, ive ever met. When I was in city jail about 5 years ago I was granted trustee, where I was able to leavd the jail daily to go to to the court room to run documents back and forth to the magistrate office. Every case or trial that Mr. McGhee was appointed to, he won! Every single one. He is a very smart man and will do whatever he has to to win your case!

Scott Smith and his team of highly skilled paralegals, office administrators and receptionist helped us navigate through a very challenging custody matter that involved multiple states. He never promised us an outcome, but vowed he would fight hard for us. That he did! Because of the hard work his team put into our case, we know our grandchildren are safe now. This firm is highly organized, professional, compassionate, and very sharp. I would recommend them to anyone needing help with a tricky custody matter. Thank you, Scott, Ronna, April, and Madeline. You are family now.

I havent personally used this firm but as I sat in a courtroom waiting for my family members trial, this law firm not only took 10 + cases to trial in that week but won 7 of those trials during that week. They were quite impressive. I hope to never need their help but if I do need legal help I'm definitely calling this firm.

Jessica Rees

Great lawyer he is quiet and dont say much but even his court appointed clients he will help just as much as his paid clients!

Laine Mead

Very quick to communicate what I needed to do in order to make my divorce go as smoothly as possible. They were on my side every step of the way. Even when they were busy they always followed up even if later, and let me know why and made me feel assured that they hadn't forgotten about me. They made me feel important and secure that they were going to fight for me and my needs.

Richard Jamieson

I highly recommend this law firm. I have used them in the past and they were great and they are still great. Scott Smith put in a lot of work for me dealing with state and federal agencies to correct a clerical issue. He is very professional and talks directly to you when he needs to discuss things about your case.

Anson McElderry

I went to Smith & McGee for help with my custody case for my son. After a brief consultation with Scott Smith along with a detailed gameplan only a short amount of time passed before I was awarded full leagal and physical custody of my child!! Scott's experience allowed me to be confident and comfortable throughout the entire process, I was kept up-to-date with every hearing and motion and the process was made comprehensive by Scott.A disproportionate amount of fathers are actually awarded full legal and physical custody of their children and I'm so grateful that reviews like this one pointed me in the right direction. 5stars and they most definitely have my recommendation!

Ashleigh Mcpherson

Definitely have helped me with different cases and issues. Always answers my questions and an concerns I have Miss. Mason and Mr. Smith are amazing

Lee Obryan

They never answer the calls. Or return messages. They dont seem to be upfront with what's going on. Very unprofessional and very stuck up. I'd give this team an F

Michael Porter

Great service and go to work immediately.

Living Loudly

So thankful for this office and how they went above and beyond to make me feel like they cared, and more than just a client to them. Such a huge help to me during my divorce. Highly recommend!

Joyce Edwards

Mr. Smith and his paralegal Ms. Mason went above and beyond to obtain the best possible settlement in my divorce. Because this was the end of a 33 year marriage they were very thorough in obtaining all the information needed in order to have a fair division of financial and property assets, along with the facts needed in obtaining a fair alimony settlement. I had moved to another state for my own peace of mind, but I was always kept informed. I did have to return for a temporary support hearing and mediation, which was to be expected. From the time my ex-spouse was served with papers to the finalization of the the divorce was about 7 months. I feel very blessed that Mr. Smith and Ms. Mason were able to bring closure as quickly as they did in my contested divorce process. Mr. Smith knows the family law concerning divorce matters and can go about this process in a calm and respectful manner to everyone that's involved yet get his point across in the best interest of his client. If you are needing a divorce lawyer that will be looking out for you - his client I highly recommend Mr. Smith and his staff.

Randy Elliott

I had an amazing experience with this Law Firm. From the moment they answered my call, until they closed my case, they were very prompt and professional. After having a bad experience in the past with another Law Firm I had my concerns. I am very appreciative to Thomas that helped me with my legal situation and all of his staff that was very helpful as well.

Stacey McCracken

Extremelyy professional and caring law firm! They were very attentive and concerned about me and my case. I would recommend them to anyone needing quality legal assistance.

Dana Roberts

Took time to listen. Help with my legal issues highly recommend!

Jahonn Robinson

The best lawyer team ever. Did what they said they would do and more.

Dave Roberts

I chose this firm because it was well recommended. They were able to do things that others couldn't do because Smith & McGhee has experience in the county and knows all the important people.

Dave Dale

I had met with a number of attorney's for assistance in resolving an issue and was told they couldn't help. Thomas Smith took my case and had the issue resolved in less than a week. Highly professional, well organized with great follow up.

Corey Rice

Scott Smith is a Great Lawyer, very professional, helpful and quick! Will definitely use his Services again if needed!

Josh Brady

Hands down best law firm in Dothan. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Scott Chavers

Contacted this firm for assistance in a legal matter. Asked secretary to email me a good time to expect a conference call. Called once and left no messages and havent tried calling again. That was three weeks ago. If its not that important for you to reach out to potential clients, I dont want to have you represent me anyways. Im 1000 miles away and if you wont follow a simple task of reaching out to me prior to a conference call, how can I trust you to handle my legal needs when Im so far away??? If you feel the need to address my issue, feel free to contact me again.

josh fischer

Very greatfull for the time energy and effort they've put into my case so far. Thanks for fighting for me Scott.

Tiffany Benson

I felt important to them and feel comforted knowing they are on my side.

Heather Oneal

He works hard

Stephen Lafleur

Always helpful!

Brian Sullivan

Please excuse the raving of someone who obviously is angry she didn't get her way. Shaun McGhee was both professional and speedy in helping me to settle my divorce. It was a very long process and yet he stayed beside me until the job was finished. He didn't offer me any special deals or discounts. All I received was the best services he could provide to help me through this time. I would highly recommend this firm for any and all legal predicaments that they represent. I am truly grateful that they were there to advise and guide me through a very tough time in my life. Five stars isn't enough of a rating, this firm definitely made its more.

Chad Hughes

Great attorneys who will go the extra mile to take care of their clients!

N R M B

Communication's not their strong suit...in the end they did what was expected but as an out of state client the lack of communication was distressing in moments. In the end it was okay...did represent me and were better about communicating.

justin herring

A ok

Ravon Tyson

I was VERY dissatisfied with their service. They basically told me they could not help me due to the fact I smoke cigarettes. Never seen a sign stating that I could not smoke, better yet I never smoked in front of the business. They made up an emergency for me to leave and told me over the phone when I call this morning as to why I had to leave. I came from New Brockton, AL just to be turned around because I smoked. IF YOU SMOKE CIGARETTES THIS IS NOT THE BUSINESS TO GO TO DEALING WITH LEGAL MATTERS!

Stacey Pearson

Had a custody battle. They care more about taking your money than helping you. I had to hire someone else who did get the job done right.

Sara Scammell

Great team! I had Shawn McGhee and his team and I couldn't be happier!! They are very professional and got things done!!! They are the best in town!!

DaShang

I am extremely satisfied with Smith and McGhee. I had a child custody and child support issue. That I just needed some help to take some of the stress off my back. Mr. Smith and his team definitely delivered. I remember I had a few other consultantions with other lawyers and they just didn't cut it for me. When I met Mr.Smith I knew he was the one. He asked me did I want him to handle the situation for me and I said yes. One of the best decisions I have ever made. So if I need anything else im going to him first. I'm very happy I was able to get joint custody of my 2yo son and I couldn't be more happy by the outcome of the case. Just help him out by getting the things u need to prove in court, and he will do the rest.

Reply to Brian Sullivan: Please dont advertise lies about this law firm you told me numerous times how disappointed you were in their services, Mr. Mcghee gave Mr. Sullivan a percentage off his legal fees, if he gave a good review!! False advertisement Really!! My true story: My now ex husband and I went through a chaotic divorce and his lawyer was Mr. McGhee. My experience is based on what I dealt with in phone and email conversations as well as what was told to me by my ex husband and McGhee's Secretary and how the divorce was handled. First Mr. Mcghee, does not like to speak to people that are 'Pro Se' (representing yourself) so even though you worked for over 10 years in the law field as a paralegal and you can easily save your money by doing the settlement and divorce yourself, Shawn McGhee will make sure to give you a hard time. Not only does he lie and says there is a conflict of interest, which is why he won't speak to you which by the way, THAT IS NOT TRUE, but he will not answer any of the calls. For whatever reason he was not able to speak to me which to me seems very unprofessional, he would often have his secretary let me know what was needed for the divorce to be settled. I think because I do know what I needed to do legally, and trust me lawyers hate people that have worked in law fields you cant pull a sheet over legal assistants or paralegals eyes easily, we know all the tricks. Now his secretary had given me some information that had holes in what she said that included the discovery process and hearings as well as the laws. Because of the communication between me and her and then what she told my ex husband of what I said, which were twisted, this made the divorce messy and long . And I believe the reason was for trial which is very expensive, but lawyers love expensive. Now one thing which is grounds for a grievance is that Mr. McGhee gave advice on the amount of payments for child support that should be paid which is unethical and should only be done by a referee. Mr. Mcghee, has no compassion for children as he informs his clients that they don't need to be responsible parents and pay for the kids until a judge says so, which to me makes me wonder about his character. Being out of state I was not able to do much, and my ex did not even live in Alabama as law requires in order to file but as usual somehow McGhee got around that. I have worked for law firms since I was 16 years old I could never work for someone that does things that are unethical, shady and down right wrong he has no moral character, and I would be scared if my papers would be questioned by a judge with the amount of lies that my ex and his lawyer gave to me. Please look at other Law firms that will look at your case and care enough to not control your decisions and won't run up your bill for no reason. Me and my ex husband managed to settle together without the hearsay talk of his lawyer. The issue I have is there are amazing lawyers out there and Mr. Mcghee is the reason that lawyers have such a bad reputation. Make sure you chose a lawyer that will care about your interests and especially the kids, don't let the kids get lost in the divorce they are the most important thing, don't let the lawyer stress you or the other party or you will cause more harm and extend something that is not good for anyone. And make sure to hold your ground. Research on your lawyer don't chose someone because they are cheap eventually they will show you why they are cheap, Mr. Mcghee was affordable for my ex-husband until hearings and trial came around and then up goes his hourly. Don't be fooled.

Great

Bobby Beasley

I was frustrated due to lack of communication between my attorney and I, but in the end my attorney went to bat for me. I will try and relax in the future and let my attorney do his job. I would recommend Smith & McGhee.

M. Bodiford

They answer questions and make their client feel supported. Their staff is very patient when it comes to questions and concerns. The skill and attitude of all involved with this firm is outstanding. It is with great pleasure and confidence that I recommend Smith & McGhee Law Firm.
