Smith & McGhee, PC serves clients across Dothan, Alabama and the surrounding Wiregrass region with a practice built on criminal defense, family law, estate planning, and personal injury representation. The firm takes a straightforward, client-centered approach, explaining each step of the legal process in plain language so that people facing a serious matter understand what to expect before they commit to a course of action.

Criminal defense is a core focus of the practice, covering matters such as DUI, drug possession, burglary, robbery, assault, attempted crimes, and more serious felony allegations. Attorneys begin every case by reviewing the facts, identifying weaknesses in the state's evidence, and building a strategy tailored to the client's own circumstances and goals.

Family law services include divorce, child custody, visitation, adoption, child support, domestic violence defense, and modification of existing orders. These matters often involve children, so the attorneys emphasize careful preparation and steady guidance, helping clients navigate emotionally difficult proceedings while keeping the best interests of the family in view.

Estate planning services cover wills, trusts, probate, powers of attorney, and advance directives, helping families organize their affairs and protect the people they care about. The team works with clients to understand their wishes, tax considerations, and long-term goals, then assembles documents designed to remain clear and enforceable long after the planning conversation is over.

Personal injury representation handles accident and wrongful death claims arising from negligence, including vehicle collisions and other liability situations. Attorneys investigate the facts, work with medical and expert evidence, and pursue fair resolution of damages on behalf of injured clients and their families, who often arrive with questions about insurance and court timelines.
