Mr. Bailey made sure I was informed, that I understood every word of my will, and also prepared a living will for me. All before my surgery. It was a rush job, and he let me know up front he probably couldn't get it done before my surgery because of other clients he was helping, but that he would do his best. I would not have been upset had he not be able to get my work done before my surgery date - but he worked late and on the weekend and got it done (I know because he would email and call at times most people would not be working - and I appreciate it). Thanks, Mr. Bailey.

Kimberly Thomas recently represented me in my child custody. As a single dad I didn't have a lot of…read morefaith that I could win the case, but Kim reassured me that I stood a good chance. She did an excellent job of working with me on all the details of my case and was very prompt in her communication with me throughout the proceeding. Most importantly she helped me win the case. in particular she is a strong advocate for fathers, and I would recommend her to any father fighting for the right to be in their kids' lives.

Kim's behavior as the GAL for my stepson was extremely unprofessional, and incomplete. In the end…read moreshe went against my stepson's wishes, when she was hired to be his voice. At the conclusion of a critical meeting early in our case Kim drank wine with my stepson's mom and her lawyer. My husband had previously discussed his concerns about his ex girlfriend's cocaine and alcohol abuse with Kim. He had also spoke to Kim about his ex allowing their son to drink on several occasions between the age 7-9. My husband explained that we had to be at a kindergarten meeting for our younger son after this meeting. Kims response was "I never go to those school meetings without a drink first". It was a poor joke (assuming she was joking) that made my husband and I both angry and uncomfortable. It had already been a long custody battle at this point. We were not amused. How can someone with such poor judgement be making critical decisions impacting our family? In addition to this, at an earlier meeting there was paperwork that needed to be signed off on and promptly filed with the courts. Unfortunately, we later found out that Kim had submitted the incorrect documents. Kim's time in our home was always brief. It often felt rushed. Later in the process Kim shared some concerning details of her own parenting. How she is "good at dropping off but not good at picking up." How she wanted to fight her kids stepmother over an elf on the shelf. Our case went on for years. She continued to speak unkindly of her own kids and parenting. We began to get desperate for relief from his high conflict ex and court. When we asked for feedback on what we could do to improve the situation with the ex , Kim's response was "not exist" followed by Kim inappropriately joking about hiring a hitman for his ex. There was an active JFS case involving a gun and a kid living, vacationing and spending extended time in the exes house. Kim dismissed this event and did nothing to investigate or acknowledge my husband's safety concerns. Kims response to concerns about his exes cocaine abuse was that the courts do not care about recreational drug use like they used to. Dismissing my husbands request to drug test on more than one occasion. Stating "You do not want to rock the boat." Kim never looked into the live in boyfriend's child custody. She never explored why he doesn't see his son. However she dove into intrusive details about my custody arrangement and history. There was never acknowledgment of my husband's very serious concerns. In our meetings she always encouraged us to keep doing what we were doing. Aside from all that had happened It felt like a couple years into this case that Kim finally began to understand the impossible situation we were facing. Kim said that we have a great routine that benefits my stepson in a positive way. In our final meeting Kim said that she would not recommend changing our parenting time. Instead, Kim did the opposite and recommended that my husband get less than the minimum amount of time to the judge. Kim has never spoken to us again. She never completed her report. She never completed a full report at any point in our case over several years. Deadlines were continually missed. Paperwork incomplete. All of these things left us with a lack of understanding, information, or solutions. My husband did not accept her recommendation. Instead, he continued to court for the judge to make that decision. Kim's poor recommendation has had a negative impact in our 3+ year custody battle.I believe Kims lack of attention to detail, her mistakes along the way, her unprofessional nature and her poor judgment will have consequences for my stepson, his future, and his relationship with my husband. If you are father with a stable home, who refuses to let your high conflict ex run your life or control how you spend your time with your child, then I wouldn't recommend Kim. I wouldn't recommend Kim to anyone.

I hired this law firm to help me navigate through some legal issues. All I can say is that this…read morefirm and its lawyers are only about tracking their time and charging you amongst the highest fees in the area. While they will make you feel that you have a strong case, they do not aggressively negotiate or fight on your behalf. In reviewing my consultation fee monthly statement, I found that they were overcharging me for the consultation time and this was hundreds of dollars considering their fees. The lawyer I was dealing with was not only lazy but unprofessional. There were times that one could feel that during the consultation the lawyer is disinterested and they even kept checking their watch while the client would be discussion their thoughts. I got so frustrated with them that I had to terminate their services and hire another lawyer. It was the best move I made because my case was settled in my favor (a couple of week versus the months with this law firm) after I switched lawyers. Save your money and do some research in the area. You will find several good lawyers that are more cost-effective and will give you plenty of attention and better service.

Mr. Jon Allison failed to file my paperwork on time and to the proper authorities. But he was willing to take my MONEY! He never had any advice AFTER he took my MONEY.

If you DO email them in an attempt to get ANY type of update (after WEEKS of silence goes by), you'll be charged for it pronto. I hired the firm in August of 2024 after my husband went to jail for domestic violence. Started out with Blake, who (as I learned later) not only lied to me about facts of divorce, but, billed me for things he absolutely did not do; he invoiced me for having the divorce petition delivered, when that never happened. Blake left the firm without a word, and my counsel was replaced with Julie Jernigan. When I first met Julie, I was so full of hope. Here was a country girl who was tough as nails and seemed to really empathize with my situation. Turns out, it was all just a show, an act. Are they ALL like this, at this firm? Is this something Shannon prides herself on? Hearing after hearing going by without ANYTHING being accomplished; but I was being billed THOUSANDS of dollars. FOR NOTHING. I was told that "the judge is being too lenient with his lawyer" and "he just can't get those documents that we need" and "this is a real head scratcher for us", and my favorite - after I sent her a long email stating that I refuse to go bankrupt for a simple divorce and I'm losing hope in her and her firm - "heard and understood, we will get this done".  Two months AFTER that - and another few thousand dollars later - crickets, no communication, NOTHING has been done on my case. I reached the point (after pushing closet to the $11,000 mark and losing all hope I'd ever get free of my abuser), I hired another lawyer and had Shannon & Julie fired. And of course - that too came with its own issues: I was told by the "accounting team" that it would be "30 to 60 days" to receive my refund. I called at the 30 day point and the 60 day point and was given the same line: "30 to 60 days, accounting team is still reviewing." Sent an email well after the 60 day point and got the same response back. I then replied and threatened to report them to the KY Bar Association if I didn't receive an update back by end of day about my refund. Surprise, surprise; they called me within a few hours and said "your check is ready" and gave me some lame excuse that Shannon was away for personal reasons and couldn't sign the check. Um... what?! You told me (again; more lies) that your "accounting team was reviewing the file". Not that your lead shyster was on vacation and couldn't sign the check. If I had not been under the gun in August 2024 (literally...): I would have read reviews BEFORE speaking to anyone at Shannon's firm. The amount of 1 star reviews is eye opening; and you need to really take those 1 stars to heart. This is truly how this firm actually is. They'll send you multiple large invoices and deliver nothing, give you silence or worse - admit they have no clue how to move forward or what they are even doing! Seeing their posts on Facebook of their happy Thanksgiving and epic Christmas party and all the fun they were having... made me mad as hell. Myself, as well as other clients who were being scammed by them, were funding these nice parties and outings; meanwhile, we're having trouble keeping the lights on because we're bleeding thousands of dollars a month to them for absolutely NOTHING. Avoid, avoid, avoid.  What should have been a simple divorce cost double, because of Shannon's firm and her shady, unknowledgeable, scamming lawyers. And my divorce was considered "easy" (no kids, and the husband is incarcerated so it's not like he's missing). Imagine if your divorce is complicated with multiple kids and assets to split! My divorce is now moving forward in the court system with my new attorney. If I'd stayed with Shannon Smith Law, I'd still be bleeding thousands a month to them with no divorce in sight. I have filed a complaint with the KY Bar Association, and I truly hope the others who have left a 1 star review will do the same.
