He says he has been working estate planning for…read moreover 35 years, but in my dealings with him he clearly did not understand state statutes about running an estate. He and the personal representative were using the estate as their retirement plan and personal bank account. I had to hire another attorney to and take him to court and get them both removed and try to salvage what was left of the estate.

Strongly recommend avoiding this Shane Smith for any divorce or parenting plan matter…read more Major concerns from our experience: * Little to no transparency regarding strategy, case status, key deadlines, or billing * Poor communication and slow response times to important questions * Discovery dragged on unnecessarily, increasing time, stress, and expense * Repeatedly left feeling unprepared and uninformed about what to expect * Advice and case management that undermined confidence in the representation * Lack of proactive advocacy or clear direction throughout the case * Withdrew from representation just 7 days before a critical parenting plan hearing The most valuable thing an attorney can provide is confidence that your case is being handled competently and strategically. Unfortunately, our experience was the exact opposite. I would not hire Shane Smith again and cannot recommend Skyview Law to anyone facing a divorce or custody dispute.
