We are Valdosta's premier law firm.  There is a reason the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating System awarded our law firm AV Preeminent status—its highest rating. Based upon confidential opinions of members of the Bar and Judiciary, this rating rests upon legal ability as well as ethical standards.  AV Preeminent is the highest rating afforded to any lawyer or law firm. At Smith, Hannan, Parker & Bowden, P.C., we believe in providing an unmatched level of legal services combined with compassion, zeal and a commitment to you.
