Justin Smitherman is a great attorney-- very knowledgeable about the law. He helped me get a settlement with a company who let me go for health reasons. He also prepared my will, closed on my house and some commercial property for my husband's place of business. We were blessed to find Justin to help us maneuver through the jungle of the law! I'd give him 10 stars if available! read more

I had the opportunity to work with Justin Smitherman of Alabama Law Services in a recent commercial real estate transaction. I was purchasing a major property in Alabama and needed an attorney with experience in real estate. Since I live in California, I needed a lawyer who have expertise in Alabama laws and local practices. After doing some research, I interviewed 3 legal firms and chose Alabama Law Services following extensive discussions by phone. Now that the deal has been concluded, I am pleased to say that Alabama Law Services was definitely the perfect choice for this project! Throughout the deal, Justin was very responsive and always made himself available through the critical period of negotiating contracts and closing the deal. In fact, he worked weekends (without charging extra) and walked the extra mile on several occasions to make sure that the deal was done by the deadline. The deal involved a large number of parties (buyer, seller/ tenant, bank, lender's counsel, brokers, agents), and Justin was very effective in communicating with all parties and instrumental in reaching agreement with our counterpart on difficult issues. Having worked with numerous attorneys in the past, I have seen plenty of lawyers who are strong on "legalese" but less competent on actual commercial solutions. In contrast, Justin brings a refreshing combination of legal expertise and commercial acumen, which I really appreciated. Having a smart and conscientious lawyer on the team really made a huge difference! Alabama Law Services did a fantastic job for me, and I would not hesitate to recommend Justin Smitherman to any one who needs competent legal counsel or representation! read more
