Great professional law service from Adam Banner. Always responsive and willing to go beyond the extra mile.

In a very unexpected situation, I chose Banner to guide us through and represent my child. We were disappointed to find out that the $5000 retainer we paid was completely gone before charges were ever filed. And for what ? A few emails and phone calls and 30+ hours of checking OSCN? We never asked him to check OSCN daily and the contract doesn't say he was going to check OSCN daily. And we told him that we were already checking OSCN daily. And that is clerical work. $300/hr to check OSCN? There hasn't even been an arraignment. The attorney didn't go to court even once. The contract stated that there would be an accounting and refund upon request. We never expected the attorney would fill the accounting with 8 pages of checking OSCN. We trusted this attorney to take care of our child in a time of need and feel like our naivety was taken advantage of. Interesting. As a response to your response, if I am not a party to a contract then I would like a full refund of the $5000 that I paid. My name was on that check. And the word retainer is misleading. Just take it out of your contract and call it a fee only. I read the contract and I was ok with it this whole time, because I was under the impression that the $5000 was a retainer and that unused/unearned funds would be refunded. Yes I understood an additional retainer would be due if charges were filed, but I never understood that meant the first retainer was completely used up at that point. My child and my husband were both at the initial consultation and we all believed the same. We never thought it was just a $5000 charge before ever even filing an entry of appearance as the attorney. We thought the $5000 was just to retain legal services and that fees would be deducted from the retainer as legal services were performed. We never, ever thought we were going to be billed $300/hr attorney fees for $20/hr clerical work or that it would cost $5000 for a few emails and phone calls. I guess we learned to always get an attorney to review our contract with an attorney before signing.

After speaking with a few local firms, including some of the larger ones, I quickly realized my needs would be best met by the Smith Firm. Their professionalism, personal touch and down to business attitude sealed the deal. Tommy helped guide me the process and always put my mind at ease during a difficult time. I highly recommend Tommy and the Smith Firm for your family law needs.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service provided by The Smith Firm. After a disheartening experience with a previous attorney who only told us what we wanted to hear and charged a fortune, we were fortunate to find this exceptional firm. We hired The Smith Firm in the middle of a difficult child custody case involving my daughter and granddaughter and multiple types of abuse. Throughout the year-long process Tommy and Chris were not only professional, but compassionate, understanding, and incredibly patient recognizing the immense stress and anxiety we were experiencing. They are true experts at what they do and took the time to clearly explain our legal options, ensuring we fully understood the potential outcomes. Their expertise and strategic approach were evident as they fought hard for us and prevented us from having to go to court by securing a settlement we are very, very happy with. The firm's transparency about costs was also greatly appreciated - all charges were clearly explained, fair, and well-earned. I would 100% recommend Tommy, Chris, and their team and would immediately hire them again should the need arise.

Tommy was very prepared and did an excellent job with my case. Definitely would recommend.

We worked with Sarah on our case & couldn’t have asked for anyone better to represent us. From the very first phone call and us following back she remembered every detail and was very prompt to get everything going for us. Sarah was very quick at responding and was always honest on the possible outcomes and answered any and all questions we had. She made sure we were taken care of and even after the case followed up with us. We couldn’t recommend anyone better and are very happy we went with the smith firm for our case.

Adam is the Saul Goodman of Oklahoma. He treated my case like his reputation was on the line. I was looking at years in jail and a felony. No jail no felony. If you’re in the same spot, better call Adam

Stephanie Morris quickly filed my papers and kept me regularly updated. Ultimately a positive outcome.
