Nanci Smith served as my attorney through a very contentious divorce and custody dispute. Throughout the course of this very stressful and painful process Nanci not only represented my best interests but acted as a coach, guiding me through what ultimately became the most emotional and difficult time of my life. I truly believe that Nanci’s practice of collaborative law should be the new norm during divorce or custody proceedings. Aggressive and confrontational tactics create a lifetime of anger and hurt that destroy all hope for co-parenting.
