Smith and Shipley, LLP Attorneys at Law

Do not trust this law office with your child's future. Once they have your deposit, communication stops. When I first spoke with Ms. Shipley--in person, by phone, and through text--she promised that if I wanted a refund it would be provided, or if adoption was pursued, she had the skill to make it happen. Over a year later, I have received neither. Every time I tried to follow up, I was passed from one person to another with no answers. Emails I was instructed to send went unanswered, or I was told they were never received--even though I used the exact addresses provided by her office. Instead of professionalism, I experienced delays, dismissive responses, and a complete lack of accountability. These delays directly impact a child's well-being. Promises were made about protecting children and following through, but they were not kept. After reading similar reviews from others, it's clear this is not an isolated case. Families deserve honesty, communication, and results--not excuses. This review is being written in hopes that I will finally receive the refund so that I can hire a lawyer who will properly handle my child's adoption.

Horrible communication, they don't communicate with you at all, they tell you everything will go fine then abandon you. As well for the lady on the front desk does not help with anything or even try to help, she's rude and sometimes even speaks loudly to you. Not only with the lady but this establishment needs more communication we didn't just pay them to sit there and not help our case. Please look for a better lawyer.

5/5 - Outstanding Legal Representation I had an excellent experience working with Team at Smith & Shipley law firm. From the very beginning, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the process clearly and always made me feel heard and supported.Their attention to detail and strategic approach gave me great confidence throughout my case, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. Communication was always prompt, respectful, and reassuring -- I never felt like just another case. If you're looking for legal representation that combines expertise with genuine care for clients, I highly recommend Bruce Smith of Smith & Shipley . They truly go above and beyond.

No, damn good. No updates on your cases no communications with the office or the attorney. I am basically having to work the case myself and I still Get no results no answers. When you call to make an appointment, you get the runaround. A simple case that has been going on for over a year and still no results no answers no nothing. Don't waste your money or time.

Terrible and horrible service! Their front desk associate was very rude and unprofessional. We were treated poorly, and shown no empathy. I think everyone deserves respect, whether they are a client or not.
