Smith Joe Neal

I have been in a 6 plus year custody battle that is very complexed and complicated. There are 3 joint managing conservators. So you know my background with attorneys. I have dealt with Sheila Shea, John Nix, Britton Brooks, Linzie Rossler, and Joe Neal Smith. I have nothing bad to say about any of these attorneys and are thankful for the part they played in our custody battle. They are all capable and good attorneys as why we hired them. However Joe Neal Smith is my favorite. He was able to mediate quickly and effectively in my most recent custody case. He told me what I needed to hear and didn’t over sell it. He was upfront and grounded. He is experienced and that showed! He was willing to do whatever I wanted, but helped me see what needed to be done and how to do it. Recently, I went

Hiring Joe Smith was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made during my custody battle. At the time, I had already been fighting for my daughter for a year and a half. Desperate for help, I put my vehicle on the line and took out a title loan just to afford his services. Joe represented me for about four months—if you can even call it representation. While plenty of paperwork was filed, there were no actual changes or improvements in my situation. He filed for an emergency hearing, but when the opposing party submitted a last-minute affidavit full of hearsay and lies, Joe abruptly withdrew from my case without even notifying me. His excuse? That he thought I wasn’t communicating with him efficiently or being truthful. To make matters worse, the Judge in Fannin County ignored proper protocol a

We cannot express our deep appreciate and gratitude for all Joe Smith has done for our family. He has been our family lawyer for years and gotten us through some of the hardest times we’ve had to face. If you’re looking for someone to go above and beyond for you at a reasonable price, then Joe Smith is your guy. You won’t regret it!

Be careful who you hire! Between no communication the whole time he represented my brother and the time of my brother's death while incarcerated we still have yet to hear from him. Not even a phone call something about everyone in this town giving us the run around doesn't sit well with me. No one will answer the phone. I'm sure this was the easiest 5,000 you ever made!

Joe Neil is not a person who will b.s. you and he will not sugar coat the facts but what he will do is let you know all of your options and help you choose the right one. He is a likable person by the courts and and knows the law well. He is confident in his practice and will use him for future needs.
