Testimonials:

"I feel I was very fortunate to have had Stephen Karpf represent me in my divorce. I was originally referred to his office (Smyth Law) by a friend who was impressed by their attention to detail. My friend did not steer me wrong. I found Attorney Karpf to be very knowledgeable AND to be able to communicate this knowledge in an effective manner. Towards the end of the process, when I had really had more than enough, he 'did his job'. He fully represented me and more importantly, the interests of my children throughout the entire messy process. I also feel the process was handled very efficiently. Communications were concise and I never had any "what are these charges for?" moments." October 4, 2010.

"Stephen has represented me at several divorce-related court appearances and I have come to see him as an invaluable contact in my rolodex. I come to him for advice, and he is always responsive. Stephen is flexible about how much or how little he gets involved, based on my needs, finances, etc., and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation in a divorce, especially where children are involved."
