I used this practice after being referred from a neighbor who had a lot of success in his family law case. This was my second attorney for my case for child custody and I wasn't happy with the results of the first one. This was not a short process and Ms, Compton handled this case so well and didn't take short cuts. She communicated well with me and was well prepared for all filings and court appearances. In the end the case was successful and I'm so grateful. I recommend them to everyone. read more

Dawn assistant was terrible with customer service didn't know what she was doing, she couldn't help when I called, she had no access to the calendars, she didn't even know that her boss had an appointment. I recommend that who ever is looking for family law services does not come to this office they reschedule you often and leave early not commuted to the clients but yummy money makers that's all they care! read more

RUN!! They take your money and do NOT deliver at all. Nothing was resolved with my case and they kept asking for more money. They withdrew since I wouldn't pay. There goes over $5k that I spent with no resolution of any sort. I will be filing a complaint with the Florida Bar. read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! AVOID THIS FIRM. They will take your money and kick the can down the road with continuance after continuance to run up the bill on you! The legal secretary/paralegal in the office wont respond to emails or send you court documents in advance of the hearings. I lost my kids, because this firm didn't show up for court, for a scheduled hearing! After he realized my ex had deeper pockets and could afford an attorney, they wanted out of the case, which the judge granted. If you want to win your case, reconsider and i beg you not to use them, you will regret it if you do. I have lost my kids and pay a outrageous child support garnishment a month because i had no representation and there was a mistake on the courts when granting a garnishment, which Todd Smith did nothing about! save your money! read more

I found Compton and Smith law firm through a member at my church. I was thinking since I got it through church they should be ok right?? Nooo I was wrong, I Really wished I looked at their reviews before signing on with Raeann Compton. I hired them in 2019. My husband of 8 years left me 2 kids and pregnant. Now knowing my situation my main goal was to get financial support from him. I explained the importance of that especially since I was due July 2020 and I did not get paid maternity leave... now let me repeat that I knew I did not get Paid Maternity leave... I explained all of this to Raeann, and she seemed that she understood. While working with them it was A lot of delays with response. A lot of repeat signing because of one issue or another. Only time I got a call urgently is when the ONE time my payment didn't go through. I also had an issue with bruises on my daughter, after visiting her dad. I asked for help. Jessica I would say is the one employee there that was nice to me. And for that thank you. I was a struggling single parent and I sent the office the pictures via email. I then was asked to deliver the photos to the office, mind you This was BEFORE Covid.. when entering the office I encountered JOAN.. needless to say she acted with prejudice and didn't want to approach me. I stated I was told to drop these off by Raeann. She stated leave them on the desk. It went down hill from there. I then was called back to see if I could take another copy to the court house. I firmly stated No. I thought it was just unprofessional how they were sending me around and around just to deliver the pictures. Fast forward to July 2020. I had my 3rd child. I still wasn't getting financial help. I always made sure I gave them everything they needed I stayed on top of everything. I called Raeann .. From the hospital bed to ask about the filling of child support help/ Temporary help for the time. Still didn't happen.. at this point No money was coming in my house hold I explained that. There was no urgency. I guess when it's not the person .. They don't care. I would call and ask questions... JOAN..( remember that name?) HUNG UP on me not once BUT Twice on Two different Occasions. She didn't understand how to take a payment over the phone.. and got frustrated with me. If I asked any question she got frustrated. Very unprofessional and I believe she was prejudice because I was African American. I talked to Raeann about the TWO incidents and she just explained .." how people are different when they are from different areas.".. in my mind I thought that wasn't an excuse.?!? I paid TOO much money to be hung up on. Towards the end of 2020. I was told I needed to give them another retainer fee. I said I'm not even getting any financial help from their dad. Raeann said we were just about to file that... it was the End of 2020!! It's ridiculous it was the worse experience. These people are After your Money!! That is it. I borrowed money to retain them explained what I wanted. At the last conversation Raeann said you can't borrow the money from someone again.... I was so angered and upset. Who does that?!! I work hard for everything I have. It's not easy asking someone for money. My Ex gave them all of his financials. They did not give him anything on my Behalf. So I paid them A lot of money.. only to be Told I owed them More!! Yikes. I am a single mother of Three still not getting child support with my oldest being specials needs... stuck paying them payments for doing Nothing... Don't be like ME Read Reviews... the others for them say the same... Run!!! Run!!! Run!!! They take advantage of people. I am working on my own still trying to finish this issue. There are awful people out there who do nothing and still cheat people...!!! Again Run!!! RUN!!! RUN!!!! read more
