My husband and I were in need of legal representation and must I say I have been impressed. The paralegal In the office is very attentive and responds quickly to any questions or concerns. The fact that they were able to see my husband for a consultation the very same day was amazing. He answered all of our questions and has been very good to us through this difficult process. I feel we made the right decision ! Thank you!

I appreciate that Sean is working on gaining our trust back after our experience of hiring him & left feeling like what we set out to get done wasn’t able to.

When I met Mr Smallwood I was desperate, under prepared and facing challenges that were bigger than I could handle in my pending divorce. I’ve had consultations with a few lawyers and all of them gave me the same vibe that made me feel dirty after leaving their meetings. The only outcome I wanted was to have fair time sharing with my now 2 year old son. At the time I met with Mr Smallwood I was only able to see my son twice a week. I didn’t want to do anything petty or overly aggressive or try to get more than what’s fair. Mr Smallwood was not only compassionate and reassuring and professional, but he was honest, genuine and shared values of mine which gave me comfort and confidence in him.

I wasn’t an easy client to work with at times. Yet time after time, Mr Smallwood and his staff (special shout-out to Amelia for her enormous amount t of patience with me) consistently went above and beyond to help me and never did he or his staff make me feel uncomfortable or unwanted.

By God’s Grace and the enourmous amount of time and effort Mr Smallwood and his team put forth I was able to have a successful outcome in court and finally start this new chapter in my life. If you’re reading this while being on the fence about hiring Mr Smallwood, I pray that this helps you confidently say yes to allowing him to help. I’m grateful to Jesus for putting Mr Smallwood into my life to help with this case at exactly the right time. I will also always be grateful for Mr Smallwood and his team for helping me when I didn’t deserve it or couldn’t afford it at times and helping me be able to be in my son’s life significantly more.

I hired Sean about a year an half ago. We had previously used him for husband so knew he was the best. When I got served papers for my child I was a hot mess the first thing my husband said was to quit crying and call Sean. I called Seans office who his staff stayed on the phone with me to calm me down while on the phone I sent Mr. Smallwood an email the office assured me they would have him call within an hour. Mr. Smallwood set up a meeting my dad went with me. My dad was very skeptical at first of me hiring him even though he knew he was good from our previous experience. After sitting in his office listening to what Mr.Smallwood had to say and reading a magazine he was featured in my dad knew he was the right one for the job! I was very needy in my case and not once did his staff or himself complain or sound aggravated with me. Mr. Smallwood was very aggressive with my case and was putting up a great fight helping protect my child. When I was given a one day notice from my child’s bio father that he was willing dismiss the custody case and allow my husband to adopt but he wanted all the paperwork to sign the by the following night. Mr.Smallwood and his team jumped on it and had me all of the paperwork in one day. My custody case turned into an adoption case and was handle very quick and efficiently. This is not something they had to do that quick but they knew how important it was for family. I will forever be grateful for Mr. Smallwood and his staff. If you are looking for an attorney he is the one for you. Very affordable, honest, and knowledgeable.

Before we hired Sean a few years ago my wife researched heavily to find the best attorney. I will admit I was hassent when she told me the price and how amazing he was but I trusted her decision that he was the man for the job. We hired him and I can honestly say he was the right man for the job. He is very affordable compared to other attorney’s. He is also very knowledgeable and honest he will tell you straight up the the worst outcome possible and the best. His office always answer the phone and emails in a very timely matter. We believe he is the best in the business.

Sean Smallwood and his staff were wonderfully kind, attentive, courteous and effective. They made me feel like they took my case very seriously at all times. They always returned phone calls and worked with me to be sure that I was completely comfortable every step of the way. I would recommend Sean Smallwood and his staff without hesitation.

What an incredible lawyer. Sean was a lifesaver for me! Not only did he give me peace of mind that we had a good case, but he also made things so simple. It was also way faster than I expected, and the fees were more affordable than I expected. I got top-notch care from the team. 5/5 stars!

I was searching for an attorney through online services. During my research I ran across Mr. Sean Smallwood and I was amazed with all the positive feedback posted about Mr. Sean Smallwood and his firm. I decided to setup a consultation with him. The moment I met him I knew he was the perfect match for my case. I am happy to report that it has been a privilege and a pleasure to have Mr. Sean Smallwood as my attorney. Mr. Smallwood worked diligently on my case in a caring and timely manner. He was FAIR and TRUTHFUL and was determined every step of the way on focusing on my best interest. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation.

Mr. Smallwood represented my elderly father in a domestic case earlier this year. I found Mr. Smallwood and his staff to very kind and understanding. In the first meeting we had with Mr. Smallwood, he listened to my father explain the situation he was in and Mr. Smallwood listened patiently. We left that meeting having a plan of action. Any time we communicated with the firm via email, someone was always quick to respond. I would highly recommend Mr. Smallwood as someone to provide you with legal services.

Sean Smallwood is someone I would highly recommend if you’re going through a custody case. His team is dedicated and share the same vision. Communication throughout the whole process which made it easier as the case moved forward. The end result was more then I had expected in a great way. I would definitely refer him to friends and family.

I’ve used Sean as my attorney in the past and also recently. He is a patient and understanding person who really listens to his clients concerns and finds easy ways to make things less complicated. I definitely recommend Sean to anyone whom needs some advice!

Sean Smallwood was a beacon of hope at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. He gave me excellent advice of my options, fought for my cause, and was very professional, knowledgeable and very aggressive. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney to represent me. Thank you!!!

Not a good attorney! Will make you pay all this great amount of money to end up removing himself from the case! Doesn't care about the client personally just after the money. Hands down not a good attorney to go to!

Sean is a very confident and caring attorney. He was always available whenever I needed to discuss my case. He will give you the worst outcome and the best outcome. He is straight up and will not make promises he can't keep. He helped me settle my case out of court and with a favorable outcome for both parties. His staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Sean to anyone with a family concern.

I have to say that, being my first experience in a family case I could not have had better luck in finding a great attorney like Sean. My case was extremely difficult and when I hired Sean it was at a point that all the options and odds were completely against me and he made it clear from the beginning. He was the only person that gave me a little bit of hope that I needed as a Father to fight for my daughter. Also, he was very flexible and understanding with me and his rates were completely reasonable for the amount of work, dedication and strategic planning that he invested in my case. His dedication and humane and sincere attitude inspired me to pursue a career as an attorney myself and I have begun the steps to do so. Sean I want to publicly thank you for helping me on my case, I know its what you do but not a single time you gave me the impression that I was just a client because you and your amazing staff like Amelia which I very much thank you for having her made me feel like family.

I spent years, unsuccessfully attempting to have my child support modified because of my eldest son's emancipation. By use of paralegal services. I was finally convinced that I needed a lawyer.
Sean Smallwood offered me a good price for his services, considering that I had already done so much of the work myself. I hired Mr. Smallwood at the end of March 2015. Admittedly things didn't start very well. I didn't hear from his office for a couple months. It wasn't until I called at the end of June that we got things going. I waited a couple more months for a court date without any updates. Months passed and no court date. No one could figure out why we couldn't get a court date set up.
After ten months of this I decided to call the governor's office. Then I started receiving calls from the DOR, telling me how they weren't going to review my case, with legal language I couldn't understand. After several calls from the DOR, giving me every excuse under the sun, I had to wonder, "Isn't my lawyer supposed to be handling these things"? But, Finally, a court date was set. At the end of May 2016, a year later! Well, now I finally got my modification! My son is now 23yrs old. Except for now, almost three months later, after my court hearing, even though I have the final judgement, the DOR has not adhered to it . I immediately called Sean's office. It's taken a long time to get answers and have the DOR to do the right thing. I took a look at Mr. Smallwood 's reviews and found out that they were having issues with their office personnel. Mr. Smallwood has spoken with me and has offered to continue to handle matters. We have a court date set up now for clarification. I hope and trust matters in the office have been resolved. Because of the consideration Sean has shown me, I do hope that his law office will be a success. I have edited my review to show all things as they have proceeded in my opinion.

Mr. Sean Small wood & his team are amazing people. It was my first time going through a child support case not knowing anything. Mr. Sean took his time to educated me on my rights as a father & advise me on the Necessary steps to take. They worked around my budget financially, time management & were very quick on responding back to all my questions. Amazing team. 5-stars all the way

My divorce case started against long odds, and Sean let me know that. But he dedicated himself to getting the most favorable outcome possible.
I felt confident in his handling of the case as he always kept me informed and made himself available for any concerns I had.
He also treated me as more than just another case number. but was genuinely concerned about me leading up to and during the hearing.
I feel blessed to have had Sean as my attorney and would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.

Lack of professionalism from staff. We waited for almost a month to receive our contract ( ee called the office few time to let the know) and we never got it.Sean seems to be a good lawyer but to bad we never received our contract to do business.

This team can talk a good talk to lure you as a customer but beware that is as much activity as you will experience. Leyia, his paralegal is extremely condescending and will treat you as if you were disturbing her when requesting information. Things will not move unless you call. Weeks and months will go by with no communication then you call to ask how the process is moving along and by a work of magic your papers get submitted that day. Extremely frustrating. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN AGRESSIVE ATTORNEY WHO CAN REPRESENT YOU this is not the attorney for you.

I have nothing but great stuff to say about Sean. He is very personable, knowledgeable, his presence is inviting and he makes your case feel like his own. His meticulousness to detail in my case was clutch, which turned out to be a huge favorable turning point for the results at mediation because of a discrepancy in financials from the opposing party, one that could have been easily missed if the right questions weren't asked. Without getting too detailed and from my short experience dealing with him you can tell that Sean really loves what he does, takes his job very seriously and he makes his client's concerns the preface before any major actions. Apart from the seldom delayed responses from his team after trying to address some issues, my overall experience from beginning to end was fantastic and would highly recommend Sean for any family cases, you wouldn't be disappointed.

Our experience with the law offices of Sean Smallwood have always been positve. It's hard to find a family law lawyer thats willing to fight for you, and Sean really does. We are currently working with him on our second case and he always shows professionalism and knowledge. Can I just say HE GETS THE JOB DONE. Thank you Sean Smallwood for all you have done for me and my family.

Bad experience with this attorney. Hired this attorney back in 2012 for modification of custody. After three years, the attorney asked for more money even though nothing new had been accomplished in two years. Attorney ended up withdrawing from my case after I refused to give more money. Would never recommend this attorney. Please educate yourself on attorney's before hiring this man.

Sean and his team were a blessing , if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have been able to be a part of my children's lives , I will forever be grateful for them. I went from being able to only see them a few hours a week to 50/50 custody. Thank you so much.

Sean Smallwood is absolutely on point. From the minute I began corresponding with him and his paralegal Leiya, I was nothing but impressed. They were very personable and easy to connect with. Attentive to everything and missing nothing, They made me feel as if my input was both worthy and relevant. This team loves their work and it shines through everything they do.

I went to see Sean after finally deciding to move forward with my divorce. I had already talked to another attorney who made me feel like I was just another appointment. From my first visit with Sean Smallwood I felt comfortable with him and could see that he really cared about my situation. From the start of my case until the end he was always there when I needed advice, and even today well after my case is over he has shown concern and compassion for me. He surely knows what to do from a legal point of view and that along with his caring touch on his cases I would recommend him to anyone. I consider Sean Smallwood not only my attorney but a friend.

Sean seemed like a great attorney when we hired him. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed. He was representing my husband for timesharing and child support. On top of being extremely impossible to get a hold of, after 9 months he has done absolutely nothing for our case. His paralegal Leiya is awful. Too many times did I have to call multiple times over several weeks to get her to do anything she was supposed to. It took several months just to get her to request Financials from the other party and another several months to get a rough draft mediation agreement, which had nothing in it we had discussed for our side of the case. If you want an attorney who will sit back in mediation, not fight for you, never contact you or do what he says, and a horrible paralegal, then Sean is your guy. Otherwise, save your money and go elsewhere.

Extremely Satisfied Client.

Sean represented my husband in his child support case. He was our first choice and we knew after hiring him and spending time with him he would be the best in our situation. From the minute you enter his offices in downtown Orlando till you enter the court room you feel a very relaxing and very comfortable atmosphere. Sean really took his time in explaining everything and making sure we understood all aspects of the case and how it was going and what could happen and what could not happen. We are extremely happy with the outcome of our case and lets just say : YAY!!!!

Sean is an incredible attorney and a great person. He has a family sense of doing things, a brilliant mind and a great sense of humor.

We highly recommend him and will be hiring him in the very very near future to fix a couple things on another case we have.

PS.... He is extremely affordable too!!!

We Thank you Sean and all your wonderful employees at Sean Smallwood Offices!!!
