The Family Law Firm of Donna J Smiedt

When my back was against the wall and everything felt like it was slipping away, I contacted Ms. Donna after a friend of mine told me about her. That phone call was probably one of the most important phone calls I had ever made. Ms. Donna and her team stepped in and truly changed the course of my life. I was overwhelmed, unheard, and on the verge of losing everything that mattered, especially my family. But from day one, they believed in me and fought relentlessly to bring the truth to light.
Her dedication, expertise, and compassion were unmatched. Ms. Donna didn’t just take on another case, she took the time to understand my story, gave me a voice, and guided me every step of the way with confidence and clarity. Thanks to her unwavering commitment, she was able to turn things around for me by exposing the truth and ultimately putting me in a position to get my family back.
I can never fully express how grateful I am. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you when it matters the most, look no further. Ms. Donna and her team are more than just legal counsel — they are a lifesaver.

They charge for everything by the way.
Even for not answering emails.
If you send them an email and they don’t answer, they charge you for it.
They even charged me for asking how much something was going to cost.
And if you complain about what they charge you for, they will drop you instantly. They didn’t even give me a warning.
No refund either.
This is a scam, they literally just got free money out of me.
All that time and money wasted and i have to start all over.

They also take months to do anything they said they are going to do.
I asked for discovery in February when i first started.
Hasn’t happened yet
Then when they drop me, they say, “we were just about to do it, but now we don’t have to”

I never got any consultation, they don’t keep you posted on what’s happening, or even give you a timeline.
Without the consultation, i’m forced to ask questions every step of the way so they can charge for them.
I had to beg them for a call and wait a week for the call, and they cut me off after 5 minutes.
Seems to be standard practice for them to understand deliver and over charge.
6 months in and all i am is thousands of dollars poorer, and i have no idea what they have even done.

zero stars. negative if I could. I've been waiting for months to get my paid in full agreement. The lawyer was late on getting me a prenup, then it turned to the postnup and I still dont have the document (over 4months and counting). The balance was paid in full at the beginning. My follow up emails go unanswered. This has been an awful experience and has now made me vulnerable which is exactly what I wanted to prevent. And now I am receiving notices of for payment when I have not been given what I already paid in full for. Absurd. Unprofessional. Scam artist.
