I read the reviews and was a little worried but when I met with Mr. Smith everything sounded great. He promised certain timelines and quoted me for what he thought it would cost. Right after I handed over my retainer I was immediately given another time line by his assistant. I was already worried but it was too late so we would wait and see. Everything did go as planned and I got what I wanted but it took twice as long and even though it went exactly as he said it would it ran over budget and I had to pay more money than what was originally quoted. I never had any emails returned by Mr. Douglas and the front office staff is not helpful at all. The last issue is that I was given custody of my son on Oct. 31st and the judge signed the paperwork. December 1st the divorce was finalized but the paperwork was never sent to the attorney generals office to stop the child support that I was paying for my son. So now I have my son and to this day I am still paying child support. so my ex will be getting a full month of child support because they never sent in the paperwork to the attorney general. Its funny because I called the first day and the front office clerk answered and I told her the situation she said she would fax it to the attorney general today. So the next day I called the attorney general and they never received it. I call the office back and I talk to the same person and tell her they never received it and she says " did you talk to someone in this office" and I said umm yea I talked to you and she was like "oh I will send it over right now" wow talk about poor service. then to top it off I get an email from his office trying to bribe me with dinner and movie to leave a good review. what a joke. so if there is a good review chances are they received something for it.

I called D Smith and was promised a quick divorce from my spouse. I provided him a retainer of 2500 dollars and was promised my spouse would be served in 3-5 days however, come day 14 she as still not served. When I questioned Susie his front desk clerk she stated it takes 2-3 weeks to serve the spouse. This gap in time allowed my sneaky conniving wife to slither back between my sheets which temporarily haunted the divorce. I called back a month later and asked to continue with the separation paperwork and I was told I needed to submit another retainer of 2500 dollars because the first 2500 was exhausted. In What!? Nothing got done. A friend lately said he used D Smith for his divorce that ended up costing 5500 dollars, he had no children with the woman, no property and very little finances to divide. He is a crooked old d-bag. GO TO ANOTHER LAWYER!

I agree with some of the other reviews very poor customer service, Everytime my husband and myself called to speak to Mr. Smith about my husband child support case he was always so busy, never there, with other clients at court, really how busy can he be all the time everyday, and he never returned our calls instead emailed us, come on and after courts he also just emailed us what happened and I think he always overcharged to show up to court for my husband to not call us back, and I feel he didnt look in the best intrest of my husband. I wouldnt recommened him and neither would my husband!

I emailed the Law office of Douglas C. Smith. Almost immediately Mr. Smith returned my call. He spoke with me on a very professional yet friendly tone. He gave me a free consultation over the phone. He listened to my concerns and gave me excellent advice. He helped me save thousands of dollars. I have had terrible experiences with a couple of attorneys in the past. I am glad I was able to find an honest and knowledgeable attorney. I am extremely satisfied with his services. Highly recommended. Thank you Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith is the best lawyer we have encountered! His professionalism is unequaled. Mr. Smith fought hard for our family, and we received an incredibly favorable outcome! I would recommend Mr. Smith for any civil case you may have. He is efficient and knows what he is doing. His ethics are beyond reproach. Thank you, Mr. Smith as well as your great team, Susie, and Monica. Such a pleasure!

This guy i used to fight a divorce. He did not really defend me because i lived out of state. He got support lowered, but did nothing else for the things i was contesting. His fees wiped me out of my savings and i could not continue fight. If you dont live in el paso, i suggest you find a different lawyer. He wont work hard for you if you live out of area.

Mr. Smith is the best attorney I have ever retained. I have had 2 other previous attorneys representing me to fight for my children and they did not compare to Mr. Smith. He made me feel extremely comfortable when I first shared my situation with him. My children now live with me. Mr. Smith helped make this happen. Thank you for caring.

I highly recommend Douglas Smith due to his vast experience plus his attention to details. He replied to my emails within 24 hours. My experjience is unique as I do not live in El Paso, There were times I called his office and knew Susie and/or Monica will assist me ASAP.

Doug C. Smith Front Office is Garbage...They act as if they are the lawyers. Once Smith faces a tough fight, he up the charges and ultimately quits to leave you "High and Dry". This is because he has no strategy or his approach to law is antiquated.

Mr. Smith prepared, filed and represented my uncontested divorce from start to finish in 62 days! And worked diligently to settle billing questions with a solution that we both were satisfied with. CW2 U.S. Army

I felt Mr. Smith was not aggressive enough. Very passive, but still an ok attorney.
