Shanna, Mike and Nick are an AMAZING team! I was in a wreck that put me out of work for over 3 years and EVR was there for me and my family through every bit of it. EVR truly cares about their clients and ensuring they get the care and support that they need and deserve!

Candice and her team have been amazing from the beginning. Candice met me right where I was and worked with me on the topics I was ready and able to work on. She understood my situation, and gave meaningful, actionable advice starting our first call. She treated me with empathy and I felt seen and understood as a human being. Candice was also excellent during mediation and trial. She represented me well and the outcomes are great. I really appreciate how she prepared me and explained to me which outcomes were within the realm of possibility and which ones were not. She is very experienced and professional while keeping things real and connecting well on a human level.

I had the opportunity to work with Attorney Lianna Garza Smith and her team during a challenging and extended divorce process, and I am extremely thankful for their effective and strategic support. After transitioning from another attorney, Lianna took over my case and made a significant impact with her prompt and efficient handling. Lianna swiftly assessed the complexities of my situation and developed a clear, strategic plan. Her timely and thorough approach was crucial, particularly when we needed to address the temporary orders hearing before the final decree. She ensured that all necessary steps were taken promptly to secure interim arrangements that supported my child's well-being and stability. A key focus of my case was child custody, and Lianna was exceptional in managing this sensitive issue. She concentrated on helping me establish protective parenting arrangements, advocating effectively to ensure a stable and secure environment for my son throughout the process. Lianna’s extensive knowledge of family law and her strategic insight were evident from the start. She provided direct, actionable advice and was consistently available to answer my questions and address my concerns. If you need a divorce attorney who is both efficient and committed to achieving effective protective parenting arrangements, including handling temporary orders hearings, I highly recommend Attorney Lianna Garza Smith. Her expertise and focus on my child’s well-being were crucial in reaching a favorable outcome.

I can’t thank Mackenzie Holtz and her team, Kate Koscheski and Lianna Garza Smith enough.. Divorce isn’t easy. Mackenzie and her team expertly navigated me through the entire process. From the initial interview through mediation and final court filings, they were on point and prepared. If you have to go through third, I highly recommend Deyerle Silva Smith as your representing firm. They are outstanding.

Laurie and Candice are always doing their best to handle my legal needs. I would highly recommend their professional services.

Christiane, Candice & Laurie were just amazing when I was lost in the world of legal matters in a messy divorce. Christiane helped me to understand matters without making me feel small, while still very much allowing me freedom to make decisions for myself without pressuring me. I felt so supported, especially during the mediation. I'm so thankful for their team, expertise & compassion, and I'm relieved I made the right choice to hire them.

Candice, Christiane and Laurie handled my rather contentious divorce that had a lot of unusual circumstances to be navigated. They did a fantastic job of keeping on top of everything from our side (including me, when I needed to provide paperwork or information). They dealt with a "difficult" other party with professionalism. Candice is fantastic about guiding you through the process whether you're at the crying, ranting, angry or just worn out stage, all of which most people are during a divorce, I know I was! I was kept updated every step of the way - something that was really important to me since this was my first time dealing with a court system. Ultimately, I came out of the experience with a considerably better result that I could have ever hoped for. I never want to go through a divorce again - but if I do, I would have zero hesitation in using their services again or recommending them to others.

The entire team at Deyerle Silva Smith, and especially my attorney, Laura Grumbine and her paralegal (Kate) were exceptional throughout the entire divorce process and trial. Laura partnered with me from the beginning, making sure that we were always prepared, that I was supported, and that we maintained a balanced approach with the best interest of my entire family in mind. We ended up at trial where Laura was at her absolute best. She is an amazing strategist, exceptionally well versed in family law and presents herself with a high degree of sophistication, professionalism, and legal expertise that was frankly unassailable. At the same time, she is always very kind, caring, personable, and modest, treating everyone with dignity and respect. I've had the opportunity to work alongside many great attorneys over the past 30 years, but none rival Laura. She is a true prodigy; simply brilliant, with knowledge and wisdom beyond her years. Laura has built a great reputation through nurturing relationships with opposing counsel, the court, mediators, experts, etc. She understands the impact that divorce has upon all parties to the case and how important her role is in helping to shape the future of your family following the final signature. I consider myself very fortunate to have found Laura and am eternally grateful to have her as my attorney.

My experience with my divorce was not that bad. It was not a typical divorce. It was very amicable. But I am the exception to the rule. I am certain if you are going through a divorce process it will not be as friendly as mine. Laura Grumbine (my attorney) and Kate Koscheski (Paralegal) made this life event as smooth as possible. Kate regularly updated me with the status of my case and made requests of any documents needed. She also was there to remind me if I forgot (which happens too often) or ommited anything. Divorce is never an easy process for anyone. Laura made sure I stayed focused and helped me achieve a settlement outcome that I was pleased with. I highly recommend Laura, Kate and Deyerle Silva Smith for your Family Law needs.

Candice , and her team Laurie and Christiane are just the people you need in your corner to navigate the choppy waters of a divorce proceeding. Candice is brilliant, shrewd and unflappable. She is very honest in terms of setting achievable goals, and making sure that you hit and surpass them. The team is very efficient, and prompt and always available to answer any questions you might have. I highly recommend this practice.

Deyerle Silva Smith, my attorney Laura Grumbine, and her team were exceptional throughout the very difficult process of divorce. I felt supported, prepared, and protected during the postnuptial review process, then the agonizing decision to file, during mediations and hearings. Laura consistently validated my experience and also tempered my expectations with what was probable. Laura Grumbine is the most professional person that I’ve ever met. She is as cool as a cucumber before a judge. I’ve never seen her stumble over a word. When representing me, she was always prepared, always conveyed my wishes, and I never felt disappointed by something she did. She was a brilliant and effective negotiator. She had excellent professional relationships with every single party ever involved - the judge, the opposing counsel, my child’s counsel, the mediator, etc. I was always in awe of her and deeply grateful that I somehow had the great fortune to have her as my attorney.
