Brad Smith is probably one of the best attorneys I have worked with. He made time on a family weekend to tend to our case.

Brad is the best attorney in town. I have used him twice and both charges where non convictions. He told me not to worry since day one on both cases.

I am so thankful that I found Anastasia Cowan to help me with my child custody case. I went to court on an emergency child custody order and she was able to get better results than I had expected or even hoped for! She is tactful, caring, smart and efficient. She helped me feel very prepared and confident. She is also very responsive to emails and phone calls. I look forward to continuing to work with her through the rest of my case.

I cannot say enough good things about Anastasia Cowan! You HAVE to hire her. I shopped around for lawyers and after our consultation, I knew she was the one. I was going through a messy divorce and custody battle and needed her. Anastasia was focused on my goals and had a clear strategy from the beginning which she carried out flawlessly to get me what I wanted. The outcome was better than I could have imagined and is the best case scenario. She never ceased to amaze me and my family. Anastasia is professional, efficient, smart, and fearless. She sure knows how to get the job done! She took control and started getting results, from beginning to end. She worked tirelessly to attend to every unique detail of my case and fought relentlessly for me, my babies, and our future. She always applied the right force to get what we wanted. And her timing is perfect. I felt like I was her only client. She responds very quickly (love that!) and was ALWAYS there for me no matter my need. I could trust her 110%. I always took her advice and she never steered me wrong. Anastasia also worked diligently to keep costs down which I appreciate. Her assistant Kristin is amazing too and works very hard. They are a powerful team. Anastasia not only offers the best legal services with results, but she also offers emotional tenderness and awareness. She is very kind and compassionate, as she understood this was the most difficult time in my life. Her genuine care and concern for me and my children really sets her apart. She is the full package! She has been my strength during this time. Things were bad when I came to her and she did miracles. My life and future with my girls would look totally different if I had not gone with Anastasia. She is truly an answer to prayer. I will continue to thank God for her every day as I look into the faces of my beautiful daughters and think of her!

Brad made the process smooth and clearly laid out his plan. I was informed during the entire process. Brad did an excellent job representing me.

Pete did a great job with my case. He was easy to contact and any appointments I needed were scheduled promptly. He was great at keeping me calm during a stressful time in my life and I felt very confident in his abilities. My settlement was handled quickly and fairly and I was extremely happy with the results! I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great lawyer.

I contacted Jeff Thompson to help represent my son who got himself into a little bit of trouble! Jeff was very professional and thorough! He is also very personable and easy to talk to. He took his time to explain to us step by step what was going to happen and was able to get the charge dismissed! My son learned a very important lesson and I gained a great lawyer!!
Jeff Thompson is an amazing, hardworking and very knowledgeable lawyer and I would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for excellent representation. Thank you again Jeff for all your hard work!

This is a story
About me and my journey.
It didn’t go well,
So I needed an attorney. ‍♀️

I was in a small hurry,
And under much stress.
I guess I was speeding ‍♀️
My life is a mess.

It wasn’t my fault.
My ex is to blame.
Everything is his fault.
It is quite a shame.

But Jeff to the rescue,
He saved me from court!!
I’m forever in debt
To his concern and support! ❤️

Jeff Thompson is the best! He will take time out of his busy schedule to help anyone with anything:):)

I can’t rave enough about this law firm. Ronnie is top of the line. Professional, caring and looking out for the best interest of parties involved. He takes the time to listen, explain, and makes sure you are confident of the discussions you will make in some hard situations. While guiding me through divorce & child custody proceedings he is fully dedicated and handles matters promptly, I cannot thank him enough.

This Law firm is Awesome!! Anastasia Cowen has done a wonderful and successful family/civil litigation law suite for us. I highly recommend Mrs. Cowen for any family and domestic matters. She wins!!!!!

Courtney Carter was awesome and did a great job from start to finish. She is very professional and always attended to my issues in a timely manner and always provided what I needed .I would recommend her to anyone

Anastasia Cowan was exactly what our family needed. She was bright, trustworthy, experienced, and extremely professional. Over the 3 years we used her services she impressed us over and over again. Ms. Cowan is TOUGH when it matters and very level headed. We could trust her to explain the realities of the court system and come up with the best approach and plan to reach our goal. She will definitely be our go-to family attorney for the future and I can't recommend her enough.

Very professional and efficient Attorney's

Jeff gets an A+ for resolving something for me. He knows how to get the job done. I’m thrilled someone referred me to this law firm.

Pete and his team have done a very good job of guiding me through my divorce preceding. He has been very thorough. When I was struggling to deal with certain situations, he was very level head and helped me to stay focused. He is well versed in rule of law and I would have no problem recommending Pete and his team.

you guys did a fenomenal job with my divorce and custody case. I’m very please with the service and the staff and Pete’s knowledge of the law is increíble. Thank you guys for everything . Awesome job.

What an awesome law firm! Every staff member there is very polite, patient, and professional. I was at the lowest of low when I was told about Arnold & Smith. I did a consultation with Anastasia Cowan and immediately knew the games were over. She patiently listened to the recap of the last two years of my horrifying adoption story. She quickly pointed out the issues of urgency and immediately started on my case. Thanks to Ms. Cowan, yesterday, I was awarded full custody of my now two year old daughter. Anastasia, thank you for caring and making a difference!

Ms. Carter handled my divorce and child custody case in Union County. She did a superior job. I couldn’t be more pleased. Opposing counsel was trying to use my military service against me. They brought up my combat tours, my PTSD diagnosis and tried to paint me as a bad father who was going to go postal any minute. Ms. Carter brought in expert witnesses, neighbors, family and members of my platoon to demonstrate not only that I was trusted, loved and had served honorably but was a good father. She made the judge see the truth. Her commitment was unwavering, her steadfast determination unmatched, her work ethic unequaled, and she truly cared about me, my family, and my son. She is warm, determined, compassionate, highly capable and her preparation and strategy are superb. Thanks to her I now have joint physical and legal custody of my son.

Anastasia Cowan is the one!

If you’re going through child custody, divorce.. save time and energy and hire Anastasia Cowan. She’s a child welfare law specialist (1 out of 22 lawyers in N.C.).
My child custody case is quite unique. The other lawyers didn’t grasp that.
I’m grateful to God for sending Anastasia my way. She’s straightforward. She’ll tell you what you need to hear and will be tough on you if she needs to so you know what to expect and she’ll come up with a strategy to get you what you want. She doesn’t waste your time or money talking about everything and anything just to get billable hours. She focuses on your goal and will fight for you to get you what you want.
What I like the most about her is she’s open minded and where some lawyers can’t see a way, she’ll make a way. Her creativity is definitely a big asset. In court she doesn’t let the opposing counsel get away with anything. She’s calm yet fierce. All praise to God, I was able to get a temporary parenting agreement from the judge that was way better than what everyone thought. I’m grateful that I had Anastasia on my side to fight for me.
If your child custody case is not unique, I’d still hire her. You might get more than is expected. If she’s that good at winning difficult and unique child custody cases, i wonder what she’ll do with standard, typical cases?
She’s easy to talk to, super fast at getting back to you via email (I love that about her), compassionate and creative.
I’m grateful for having her represent me. Keep up the good work Anastasia! Thanks !

I won my case thanks to all the hard work Anastasia Cowan Family law

J. Bradley Smith is a phenomenal attorney! He went above and beyond my expectations! He persisted and was extremely patient when it came to my case; there were so many court dates, but he showed up to all of them with all his notes in order and ready to defend me and work hard for a positive outcome. I am so thankful that someone referred him to me and can only say that if you go with Arnold & Smith you will not be disappointed. Oh, did I forget to say how personable and pleasant he is? As someone who has never been in trouble with the law before; I was scared, worried, doubtful, and more. Smith was empathetic and supportive throughout the entire ordeal. I am just so appreciative!

I'm chose to be represented by Pete McArdle and I couldn't be happier with the choice. He guided me through the divorce and custody process with utmost professionalism. I really appreciated his honesty about various aspects of my case and how he strove to not only secure the best outcome for my child and myself but also sought to do so in the most efficient way possible. Mr. McArdle was also determined to avoid going to court however despite his best efforts it became unavoidable. When we did eventually did go to court his experience we amply demonstrated which resulted in a favorable ruling on my behalf. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Arnold & Smith law firm - specifically Pete Mccardle. Pete stands out from other lawyers I've hired in the past not only because he is extremely knowledgeable and good at what he does, but he also genuinely seemed to care about my case and communicated very well throughout the process... any question I had was answered in a timely manner. He was confident and professional in the courtroom and my case ended in my favor. I couldn't have been happier with my decision to hire him. THANK YOU!

I left a bad review of this place awhile ago and i have had time to reflect on my case and have come to the realization that due to the circumstances of my case no lawyer could have won my particular case because i was in a no win situation because of unproven lies of the other party. This law firm is very professional and attentive and my prior review was made out of misdirected anger and i sincerely apologize. I have been a client of this law firm for 11 years and they were at every court hearing fighting for me tooth and nail and we won a lot of the battles. We just finally lost the war, which was of no fault of theirs nor mine. It takes a man to admit when he is wrong and i was wrong for leaving a review like that of this place. I highly recommend this law firm, they are one of the best in mecklenburg county

My lawyer

This is the best Law Firm I have ever encountered. They actually care about their clients. Dennis Smith is one of the most professional attorney. He has been so patient handling my case and has answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease.
I will recommend him to all of my friends and family. He is truly an asset to the firm.

Off the chart Attorneys.

Anastasia Cowan has been helping me with my ongoing child custody case. She has been extremely helpful and has worked tirelessly to help me get my son back after he was taken out of state by his mother. She is passionate about the right thing for children and very tough in the court room. Anastasia has taken my matter as if we’re her own and has fought very hard to bring justice to my situation. I thank the lord for linking me with Anastasia as she is one of a kind.

I highly recommend the counsel of Anastasia Cowan for your family needs. Ms. Cowan represented me in a very private family matter regarding my son and won my case. I called over a dozen lawyers and even met face-to-face with a couple in their offices only to learn they did not have the knowledge or expertise to represent me. All of the lawyers I contacted in Cabarrus and Mecklenburg county were recommended by other lawyers but none could provide me the representation needed. Ms. Cowan was the only lawyer with the experience and expertise to represent me in my “unique” case. When you hire Ms. Cowan you can be assured she will be professional, provide trust, and work hard for your legal matters. An excellent trial lawyer able to prepare and execute a winning strategy. I am forever grateful for her services and what she has provided for me and to my family.

Excellent Attorney. Prompt. Responsive. Creative. Great individual with whom to work.

I highly recommend Anastasia Cowen. She assisted me through a difficult and contentious child custody and child support case. She’s a “No BS” and a “cut to the chase” attorney. Anastasia is very generous and compassionate to her clients. She maximized our time strategizing before our court appearance. In family law court, Anastasia’s knowledge and personal relationship really assisted me in a positive outcome. Anastasia was very efficient with her involvement with the case to cut my costs, and she was helpful in directing me to gather documents and information for effective pleadings and our strategy for a final agreement. If you are looking for an attorney to take as much stress as possible away from what could potentially be a very difficult situation-I cannot recommend her enough.

Thank You Anastasia!

Attorney Brad Smith is most definitely the sharpest and most competent attorney I have ever
dealt with in my 64 years of life. I would highly recommend him. He is an asset to this community.
Dr. K.

Jeff Thompson was God sent. He took all of my worries away and made me feel so comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and paralegal. I could tell that Jeff truly cared about me and my case and would not settle for anything less than perfect. He went above and beyond for me and I cannot thank him enough! If you need a great attorney I would recommend Jeff Thompson 100%.

I retained Pete McArdle to represent me in a high conflict custody case. It appeared to be a hopeless case as my ex had DSS on his side. In addition, the Guardian Ad Litem found me to be an unfit parent. But then - Pete had his turn. In less than one day, he turned the case around. Since he nailed it over and over, we call him “The Carpenter.” I was awarded full legal custody. Pete McArdle is the St. Jude of attorneys. He was a rock star!

Attorney Smith is amazing! He made sure I knew every scenario outcome that could happen in my case and made me feel confident. He does not allow the DA to jerk you around in court with continuations. If I ever needed him again (which I hope I don't) I would use him again.

Pete McArdle did a tremendous job helping me navigate the nuances of my divorce settlement and mediation.

Working with Pete McArdle has been a great experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney with extensive knowledge of child custody, particularly when dealing with a complicated situation. He’s the perfect balance of authoritative, yet approachable, and he does an excellent job during both intense courtroom trials and out of court negotiations/settlements.The attention to detail and accessibility of Pete and his team is fantastic. I’m so grateful to have him on my side!

Pete and Brittany made me feel safe, respected and well represented at all times during my dealings with Arnold & Smith. Pete McArdle is knowledgeable, professional and approachable. He made this experience as simple and comfortable as possible. Both he and Brittany communicated frequently and kept me up to date and made sure that I had the best possible outcome for me.

Arnold & Smith has been outstanding in assisting me in various legal matters. I hired Mr. Thompson to defend me against false accusations. I was very impressed with his dilligence in working on my case along with responsiveness to my questions & concerns. Although the opposing party did not show & case was dismissed, he quickly informed the judge of the personal stresses I overcame to be in court on time.
If you need representation who would be straight to the point with the facts of your case, give real expectations, is cognoscente of the law, has a skillful presentation of your case in the courtroom then Mr. Thompson needs to be your representation.

Dedicated parking. Easy to get to.

This law firm has the best lawyers!!! I highly recommend everyone to use this law firm for anything! They helped me so much everyone is so nice and friendly and they care about you and your needs an will make sure you are taken care of!!! Brad Smith and Paul Tharp are the best ever!!!

Jeff Thompson has provided Legal representation and guidance during very difficult times. Mr. Thompson is well experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. His professionalism and in depth knowledge of the criminal justice field gave me and my family the confidence that we couldn’t be better represented. And we were right, on both occasions!

Having Jeff Thompson as our legal representative, meant having our case in adept and trustworthy hands. I would highly recommend Arnold & Smith, specially Jeff Thompson, to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest, intelligent and representation that will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Arnold & Smith (Jeff Thompson) again.

They took my case for a DUI and settled it beautifully. Bradley Smith is a talented attorney..

I contacted them thru email for consultation. I received a call back in a decent time frame. She said that JUST consolation for 30 mins to 1 an hour would cost $500. I thought that was just a rip off. Majority of the lawyers I called charge anywhere from 50$ to 200$ for consultation. I hate when people try to get over and over charge. I do not recommend them and watch out if you chose them.

I worked with Jeff Thompson. He was wonderful in working with my family. Jeff was very communicative in every step of the way. We ended with a successful result. We are extremely happy with the resolution. I would highly recommend Arnold & Smith, and specifically Jeff Thompson.

I recently sought representation for my Alienation of Affection case. I assume anyone who has ever needed to consult a lawyer has felt similar to me. I felt very nervous prior to meeting Pete and his paralegal, Britany at Arnold & Smith. I had never been through anything like this before. Pete came into the office, sat down across from me at the table and introduced himself. He began telling me that he has dealt with many cases like mine before and that I should not worry. He was very passionate about my case and seemed to understand the pain involved with discussing these type of things. My mind was immediately put at ease and I felt very secure in my choice to have Pete represent me. I felt that I could trust in his judgement and his word. Brittany became an invaluable part of the team as well. She was always available to answer any questions that I had in a prompt manner. She is a very patient person and I appreciated that.

Pete represented me with diligence, vigor and professionalism throughout the process. I always knew what to expect during my case. Pete seemed to always know what the opposing counsel was going to do before they did it. One of Pete’s distinguishing characteristics is his easy going attitude and ability to sit in a room, talk with you and make you feel as though you’d been friends for many years. However, he aggressively pursued every legal option against the opposing counsel to achieve the best possible outcome for me. I am very happy with the settlement that was reached.

I trusted Pete Mcardle and you can too.

In this life we live things happen if you have a flat tire you better have a good mechanic if the roof comes off in a storm hopefully you have a good contractor if in the court system there's an issue and you need assistance to help guide you to the right paperwork to satisfy and to sometimes even get what you deserve and save some money you better have this company right here Jeffrey Thompson is the real deal I appreciate the service of him and his group hopefully never needing his Services again for any reason but if I do it's guaranteed I will use this company and Jeffrey Thompson.

Thorough, hard working and extremely honest firm. Pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended.

From the first time I met Pete McArdle, he predicted the very outcome of my situation. He may not have realized the irrational rants from a third party he had to deal with, but he was always very calm with a sense of humor about it all. Pete helped me stay focused for the best positive outcome.

By far the best law firm experience I've ever had. Counsel was incredibly knowledgeable and always one step ahead with all parts of the case, would highly recommend.

Jeff Thompson was very knowledgeable and handle my case very well! I couldn’t have done it without him. He was friendly but still very professional! I was very impressed by his skills and happy with my outcome! Fantastic lawyer!!!

They were very respectful of my situation and handled it in a timely manner. I would recommend this lawyer to EVERYONE wanting to fight a case because he knows the law and right from wrong. GO WITH ARNOLD N SMITH. It’s worth it. You won’t be disappointed..... and before the trial started he told me how it was going to go but I’ve never been in trouble with the law so I was kinda scared but he made me happy. Again GO WITH THEM

Attorney Paul Tharp and paralegal Stephanie Pyle, has helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I am happy about the outcome. Thank you!

I was charged with a DUI and Mr Smith represented me with excellence. I was found not guilty! I highly recommend Mr Smith!

Have to say that J. Brad Smith is a great attorney. He takes the time to deal with your problem even if he has to rearrange his schedule.
The staff that I have dealt with are knowledgeable and professional and great human beings. If I could change only one thing, it would be the have a more timely response to calls and being kept informed of progress. But a better defensive criminal lawyer you'll be hard pressed to find.

Awesome Job!!! I would highly recommend Jeff and his firm

Attorney Thompson and his team did everything they said they would do and got us the most favorable result we could have hoped for! (At a great price!) I highly recommend Arnold & Smith for any legal representation you may need.

Jillian is the BEST. I have had alot of Attorneys in my time(unfortunately). But she is not your standard blood sucking attorney. She gets the job done at a more than fair price and is fair with all he billing. If you need a defense attorney search no further than this firm and especially Jillian.

Very disappointed in Anastasia Cowan and this law firm. I felt that she didn’t really care about what I wanted or especially needed as a client. I had hoped that she would have fought harder for me because this also affects my children. I contacted Mr. Arnold to let him know that I was unhappy. Didn’t help. I paid them thousands of dollars. I feel that my money would’ve been better spent if I had hired a different attorney.

Don't let the "Super Lawyer" sign in the waiting room fool you.

I read many reviews for many lawyers online before coming to Brad Smith, almost everything positive. This was extremely important to me as this was my first offense DWI, which stemmed from my actual offense; a $25 fee traffic violation. I had a huge government job riding on this case that I had been training for months along with online testing that spanned the course of a year. My incident happened two days before my acceptance review, which was postponed upon the outcome.

I was nervous, alone, and took up a second night job for six months in order to pay the amount asked for (working 7 days a week). The only reason I am giving one star is because A) I have to to review and B) Brad's secretary gave timely and full responses to my questions.

I only met with Brad two or three times and each time he seemed to talk down to me and never said anything that inspired any hope. The case was delayed each month for about a year. Months where my only friend/witness (and I) would have to take time off from work (beyond what PTO would cover) and show up in a suit only to delay to next month. I felt so guilty I would buy my friend lunch after the wait as a way of apology.

On the day of the trial, it went very quickly and I did not say a word. It was not dismissed. I was convicted, and spent an almost unprecedented amount of money paying court costs and other fees required. This was all while my license was removed, making any transportation an embarrassing ask, especially any court mandated appointments that HAD to be made. Brad's words to me after the trial? "Man, what happened in there?" I still do not know, I was hoping you could have told me. Then afterward he had the audacity to tell me that he knew of people who had continued their careers in my desired field despite this "setback." I have searched. Never found them.
My job prospects? Gone. I was told to not return to any one in that sector even though my test scoring was above and beyond satisfactory requirements. A year or two later I tried and was laughed out and told I would be lucky if they let me sweep carrier decks.

Words cannot express my severe disappointment with asking Brad to represent me.

I met Anastasia Cowan two years ago at a time that I had given up on all family law lawyers. Previous lawyers were only interested in billable hours and stretching my custody case for as long as possible. A lot of money resulted in zero results for me as a client! It is tough to find a good lawyer who truly cares about their clients. Anastasia cares and seeks justice for her clients! From the beginning she understood my family objectives and together we developed a road map to improve my child custody and child support case. She is one of a kind. Anastasia is a straight talker with a no non-sense legal approach. She is a hard worker and she rises to the occasion during the big games. She delivered great results for me and I am sincerely thankful that I met Anastasia. She has changed my family life for the better and I would highly recommend her for your family law issues.

Would be 5 stars but took to long to get my settlement check after signing insurance check over. Otherwise great legal firm.

Arnold & Smith is an excellent law firm to work with. I was in a car accident and they were able to help me even though I live in Illinois. All correspondence was done over the phone, e-mail, and fax. Everyone was wonderful, patient, and got me the maximum they could for settlement. Highly recommended!

I've been affiliated with this firm for some years. I find no complaint whatsoever with this group. Brad Smith and his staff are first class grade A+. BTW Mr. Smith is one of the BEST of the BEST, ranking #1. To make a longer story shorter, if ever the need of an Attorney comes up please do yourself a favor and contact the office of Arnold & Smith. It doesn't matter the need call them.

Anastasia Cowan and paralegal, Kristin Pierce, have gone above and beyond to ensure my voice was heard in what seemed like a hopeless case. Always prepared, and making me feel as her top priority, she helped open so many doors as I progressed my way back into my sons life. Anastasia has a genuine spirit and truly cares about her clients and their wellbeing. Her knowledge, expertise and credentials supersede expectations and most definitely benefit her clients. Her professionalism is admired and respected.

Pete McArdle represented me and my divorce went smoother than I thought. Pete is easy to communicate with and manages expectations well.He has incredible experience and his advise is great that everything went as expected at negotiation. Thanks Pete and the Arnold & Smith Firm.

Matt Arnold is a very skilled divorce lawyer in Charlotte. When my firm has a conflict or a very complex family law issue, Matt Arnold is at the very top of our referral list. Will keep sending referrals to you.

I found myself facing fictitious charges. Mr. Smith and his firm handled this case from beginning to end with extreme attention to detail. The professionalism was very reassuring that my case was a priority for them as well. I was very pleased with the results!!!!

The GREATEST lawyer I even know in Charlotte! Arnold & Smith will set you free! Thank YOU Brad!

James Bradley Smith was recommended to me as one of the top attorneys in North Carolina. After meeting and working with Brad I found this statement to be true, regarding my criminal defense case. He immediately scheduled my consultation. My husband and I were so confident in him after the consultation, that we decided immediately to retain his services for my case on the same day.

From what I researched, Brad is known for having an excellent track record in getting the best results for cases that he represents. He is extremely intelligent, well spoken, and highly committed to his clients. He, his Paralegal and staff were very professional, communicated well, gave excellent direction, and were easy to work with.

Brad and his staff made me feel very comfortable, respected and reassured. I also found Brad to be a great communicator, extremely thorough and well prepared with my case. I am extremely satisfied with the results regarding the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Brad for legal representation and know you will be happy with his services as well.

Mr. Smith and his Associates were more than helpful in every way possible. They were very responsive and very direct with the process. Shall I need legal counsel in the future, I will be using Mr. Smith. I recommend him to the fullest!!

Great DUI attorneys! Hired Brad Smith for a first time DUI and they were able to get my case dismissed. Highly recommend.

Pete McArdle represented us with a child custody case. I can’t truly describe how impressed I was in that courtroom. My ex didn’t know what him. His face turned red and he looked like a fool. Attorney McArdle took everything he said and turned it back around on him to where he could hardly speak. The evidence they had against me was a joke when Attorney McArdle was finished with him. His opening statement to the opposing party was, “so have you ever heard the expression, bringing a knife to a gun fight?”
Then it was on and he went after him with guns blaring. We had a judge that is typically what they call a 50/50 judge and that is what my ex wanted I believe due to child support reasons. Attorney McArdle beat all odds and my daughter is still with me the majority of the time. I am so grateful for what he did for us. I thought the word failure meant something stops or is not working. Then I became a paramedic and realized if someone is in kidney failure or heart failure that it has not stopped working completely. I looked up the definition of the word and it merely means, not meeting it’s full potential. Attorney McArdle is the opposite of what this means. I believe he was designed to be in a courtroom and is living up to his full potential. He sat there and listened and wrote notes when the opposing party was testifying, then when it was his turn to ask the questions I was amazed at how he turned and twisted every word they said to expose them for the lies they told and downplay the dirt they attempted to throw at me. It was like something out of a movie. I will always want Attorney McArdle with me if I ever have to be in a courtroom again. He is truly amazing at what he does.

I came to Anastasia Cowan at the Arnold & Smith offices in the most desperate of circumstances. I was a single mom with a one year old and my custody case was very difficult and unique to most lawyers, I interviewed several attorneys before going with Anastasia and I am forever grateful that I did. Her professionalism, intelligence and genuine concern have been pivotal in getting the results I wanted and needed. Her knowledge for the law and her strategy leave you feeling confident and she helped me settle with the best possible outcome. She is thorough and honest. I would recommend Anastasia to ANYONE involved in a child custody crisis. She navigated me through the most difficult time of my life and got me the results I hoped for. Forever thankful.

The Attorneys at this firm are the best in Charlotte! A mistake was made by posting a negative comment Ment for another site! Sorry for the mistake, and I will monitor staffers more closely! EDH.

Need an attorney go talk to these attorneys. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful

Mr. Smith is an excellent attorney. Very professional and always prepared.

I recommend Mr. Smith and his team. I have been very satisfied with the quality of his and his team's work in handling my case. I was found not guilty because of his hard work and professionalism

Matt and his staff are second to none!! I was dealing with a custody situation with my daughter that was frustrating to say the least! I was upfront and honest about my situation, and Matt was the same with me 100% of the time!

Matt, Ashley, and Joanna were spot on when it came to filing papers and meeting deadlines, communicating new issues, and guiding me in the right direction of what I needed to do. This was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to deal with, and they were with me every step of the way! I got exactly what I wanted in custody with my daughter, and we settled out of court in mediation.

I consulted with at least a half a dozen different attorneys before I found Arnold & Smith. Do yourself a favor and save time and money, go directly to Arnold & Smith with your legal needs! You can trust them!!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Brad came highly recommended from a business colleague. Outcome in the case was as desired in a very timely manner. Moving forward I will contact Brad again with any matter that I require legal assistance on and furthermore highly recommend him to anyone that asks!

Matt Arnold and Ashley Crowder exemplify what every Family Law lawyer should aspire to be which is professional, focused, tenacious and human.

My custody case treaded into unchartered territory.  They researched, presented and ultimately won the case which most told me was not possible.  I thank them and highly recommend them.

Pete McArdle is absolutely the best choice for representing you in your family law case.
Pete provided me excellent perspective and advice during my marital separation preparations. During a previous separation, I had retained a different attorney so I had experience with another attorney to contrast with my recent work with Pete. My experiences with Pete was vastly different from the previous attorney.
Pete has incredible experience and his advice turned out to be exactly correct. And during our separation negotiations, Pete's representation was critical. He provided the perfect argument at the most decisive moments of the negotiation and provided sane resolutions to issues that seemed insurmountable.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Bradley Smith. I was arrested for an alleged DUI on October 2015. I found Attorney Smith by searching and reviewing lawyers for my case. I met with Attorney Smith the next day after calling and setting up an appointment and I must say I was treated with the utmost respect by every staff I came in contact with. I explained the situationt at hand and he assured me everything will be okay. Although my case took almost 2 years before it was actually seen in the court, I trusted him and believed that he would get the job done. My worse case scenario is that I can get community service, license suspension and a fine. Well, I am extremely proud to be writing this review because my case was finally seen on today and I must say Attorney Smith DID NOT disappointed. We hoped for the best and he prepared me for the worse. Needless to say, I walked out of that court room a HAPPY woman with my case DISMISSED. If I was to ever need representation for any other matter (bc this will NEVER happen again) I will not hesitate to choose Attorney Smith to represent me. The cost is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for and my money was well spent. A million 'Thank You's' to you and your staff. #GreatPeople #HighlyRecommend

Paul Tharp and Dylan Griffin helped me with a personal injury suit with my insurance company. I informed them from the beginning that I would follow their lead and I'm so happy that I did. It took less than a year and all of my medical bills were finally paid. This firm is very fortunate to have these two working for them. They are both excellent.

Brad Smith is an outstanding criminal defense attorney.

He helped my family get through one of the most difficult matters we have ever faced. Brad’s knowledge of the law and the legal system, along with his compassion, positive attitude, and confidence, made our case run as smoothly as it possibly could have.

Brad put us at ease right from the beginning. He responded to every one of our phone calls and answered all of our questions. He knew our case inside-and-out.

His performance in court was stellar. In fact, as we left the courtroom, I heard someone say about Brad, “If I ever need a criminal defense attorney, I’m calling that guy.”

In short, Brad Smith provided us with the best legal services that we could have asked for. I would recommend him to anyone.

Btw, our case got dismissed.
Also, I’d like to add that that Brad’s paralegal, Kathryn (Katie), did an outstanding job as well, and we greatly appreciate all of her hard work on our case. Many thanks to both!

Brad Smith and his team exceeded all expectations in the handling of my case from day one! I cannot thank them enough for the compassion and professionalism they exhibited throughout the process. Thank you!

Brad Smith & Team resolved my case over the course of a few years, as the matter took a long time to go through the court system. Laura Cobb also played a key role. I was very relieved at the end of it all with a satisfying result. Remember, with lawyers, like many things in life, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Arnold & Smith PLLC have a client in me should I ever need representation again.
