Consummate Professional Jessica Compton
Smith & Smith Law in Maumee, OH handled my divorce, and I am so grateful that I found them! The entire staff, from reception, to paralegals and both attorneys that I dealt with, were courteous, efficient, and have worked so hard to provide excellent service for me. I have to point out the efforts of the attorney assigned specifically to my case, Jessica Dillon Compton. Jessica was the consummate professional and handled my difficult divorce case with care and attention to detail. She was so easy to communicate with; her kindness and empathy were crucial and so much appreciated in such a difficult time. She explained legal terms and processes to me when I didn’t understand them, which was often. She was definitely a calming force for me through this. In a situation where every dollar counts in a settlement, she went to bat for me every day, and we reached a settlement that was much better than I imagined we could have gotten to, and on a much shorter timetable than I expected. I will be forever grateful to Jessica for helping me understand when to just calm down and let the process take its course; she walked me through some very difficult moments and made them much easier to navigate. If you are looking for a divorce attorney in Toledo, I highly recommend Smith & Smith in Maumee. You can’t go wrong working with Jessica Compton and Christine Smith!

She was the best ever
Ms. Jessica Compton is a very dedicated, amazing woman lawyer. I literally said I needed an awesome lawyer who can feel and understand my pain and help me get a divorce from my lying, cheating ass husband. And when I say she was the best ever, she got me everything I deserved and then some. We showed him, lol. But seriously, she worked very hard and was prepared at every court date we had. Not only was she just my lawyer, I found a friend in her who really cared about me and my well-being. I would recommend her to anyone that needs an amazing lawyer who will fight for you at all costs. Very easy to communicate with because she is the best and super dedicated to you and your needs. 10 out of 10, I recommend.

The Best Decision I Made
When facing my divorce and child custody case, I was overwhelmed and uncertain about my future. Hiring Heather turned out to be the best decision I could have made during this challenging time. From our first consultation, Heather demonstrated genuine care about my situation and my children's wellbeing. She listened attentively to my priorities and developed a strategic approach tailored to my specific needs. What truly sets Heather apart: - Her thorough knowledge of family law and local court procedures - Clear communication throughout the entire process - Realistic expectations about potential outcomes - Availability during stressful moments when I needed guidance - Strategic negotiation skills that secured favorable terms Heather fought diligently to protect my parental rights and financial interests. Her meticulous preparation and compelling courtroom presence resulted in an outcome that met all my objectives regarding custody arrangements, visitation schedules, and asset division. I particularly appreciated her ability to maintain professionalism while showing compassion during emotionally charged situations. She helped me stay focused on long-term goals rather than getting caught up in temporary conflicts. If you're facing a divorce or custody battle, I cannot recommend Heather highly enough. Her expertise and dedication made an enormous difference in what could have been a much more difficult experience.

Elizabeth Connor
Got the results I've been waiting for
I've been battling my ex with a parenting plan for years. I came to Smith & Smith and got the results I've finally been waiting for. I've had lawyers in the past that would pretty much ghost me and not give me information, but this team let me know every step. Thank you Heather and Christine!
Amanda Stalter
Christine was a tireless advocate
Christine at Smith & Smith was a tireless advocate for me and my kids during my contested divorce. She was conscious of my circumstances and mindful of her billing, even more so when I lost my job. But most of all, Christine instilled patience and asked me to trust her every single time I wanted to quit. And I wanted to quit MANY times... if for no other reason than to be done and move on with my life. She was right to do so, because patience and trust got the settlement that my kids and I deserved. It's my hope for others that your divorce goes much better than mine did. But if it gets rough, there's no one better than Christine to have in your corner.
Rob Siders
