"Worst experience of my life. D. Smith was mandated as guardian at litem and solely in it for financial gains. Excessive overcharging. Smith came to the mediation , not to represent the children but to insure her bill was paid. She was also involved in and mandating a Family Bridges Program in which the owner of that program had a suspended psych license and numerous license infractions. Terrible excuse for a guardian who is suppose to be an advocate for children"

"Caring and dedicated doesn’t do the full justice of describing my experience with this practice. I had approached them during the worst year of my life, when I was very vulnerable and in need of legal assistance. While ultimately the schedules didn’t align, Laura and Sandra went out of their way to support me with a consultation, recommendations for other area firms, extensive follow up and just above and beyond support. The folks at Evolve Law genuinely care about the community and have the highest standards of care and professional practice. I’m forever grateful that they helped me and that our paths crossed, regardless of the reason for it."

"Writing a public testimonial for the person who helped save me from a toxic marriage is loaded with emotion. Nobody comes to this most important decision of their lives lightly. I was terrified when I started the process. From my first interaction with the firm, everybody took the time to get to know me as a human, my story, and my priorities. Even though I was referred to Dawn Smith, Sandy gently recommended Laura as a better fit for my personality and case. This recommendation locked me in - I knew everybody there would take care of me and my daughter's wellbeing first. I also knew I could go about my divorce the way I wanted - with dignity, civility, and *not* a tit for tat mentality. Laura always allowed me to make my own choices, advising me of all the pros and cons. She prioritized me when circumstances escalated, and ensured my safety. The process was grueling, but I had unwavering confidence in her as my counsel. Her extensive experience with GA cases, specific judges and counties, and nuanced interpretations of evidence, gave me a hard, much needed look at how things really go in divorce. My ex and I were able to settle in mediation, in huge part due to how she negotiated with (multiple) opposing counsels. Settling a divorce (hopefully) means each party gets what is most important to them. Not that they get *all* they want. What a lesson that was! Laura and I strategized for hours leading up to mediations about my priorities. We keept the big picture and our desired outcome in mind. Laura helped me keep my emotions steady, helping me make sound decisions to craft the future I envisioned for my family. Laura is the most detail oriented, prepared, professional I know - nothing escapes her eye. Her ability to work efficiently through long hours of mediation and turn things around in a matter of hours is beyond impressive. She caught problems in the opposing party’s drafts. She dotted every I and crossed every T, to the smallest detail. She created elaborate spreadsheets with incomes and options, ahead of substantive conversations. It’s hard to overstate her level of preparation. She saved my mental health and put me on a much better path. Laura is an angel from heaven in an attorney’s body, put here to protect people going through this life change, especially women who have been mistreated and are trying to rebuild their lives. This firm’s passion for their clients oozes in every conversation. I will always have tremendous gratitude for everyone at Evolve and their deep impact on mine and my child’s life. I am almost one year out from my divorce and I am living the life of my dreams, with ease. I recommend Laura to everybody who comes to talk to me about what direction they should take."

"A divorce was not something that I ever expected to be involved in, and when I decided to go that route, I was lost and pretty emotional about it. I remember calling one evening, definitely after their closing time and leaving a short message, and later that night I got a text that they would call me that next day, and they did. I won't ever forget the first time I spoke with someone from that firm - Sandra. I don't think she'll ever realize just how much better I felt just knowing someone was there, even before they had taken me on as a client, she was the best first introduction I could've had. I ended up working with Laura, and I just have to say that she's amazing - she was so compassionate (they all were!!) and so knowledgeable and I knew that I was going to be OK. I moved out of state during the process and unfortunately never got to meet any of them, but even through voice and video calls, I felt protected, like they had my back even though we will likely never meet. Personality and friendliness aside, they were incredibly helpful, professional and knowledgeable, and I never felt duped or left in the dark. Respectfully, I hope to not have to work with them again, but if I ever needed someone, I know they'll be there. 10/10 recommend. Thank you, guys, thank you Sandra, thank you Laura, thank you everyone there."
