Mf Smith, Esq

I found Smith Strong by a Google search. I really liked and agreed with everything that was written on the site. I almost reconsidered after hearing the 1st time consultation fee and retainer but you get what you pay for so I decided to go through with it and I'm glad I did. Alex Phillips was assigned to my case and he was attentive, knowledgeable, and showed he had the experience right from the start. The consultation fee was well worth it from everything he shared with me so I had no reason to look any further. He was more than fair with payments and even credited me some calls and emails. The case cost less than half I thought it would when all said and done. Alex was always there even during some tense moments, he responded immediately. He showed that not only did he have my best interests at heart but my child's as well which was most important to me. He also excelled and impressed me in the courtroom. He reacted with the utmost professionalism and integrity I've ever seen. He took this on like it was personally affecting him. He showed his knowledge and experience in the courtroom and received the outcome we deserved when it very easily could have went the other way. I can confidently without a doubt recommend Alex to anyone that needs a lawyer that will always be there when you need them, be the voice of reason, have the knowledge and the experience to get you through the toughest of circumstances. I can't thank Alex and the staff at Smith Strong enough, they really helped me and my family and we are all better off for it.

We had been putting off making a will and planning for retirement for some time. Glad we met with Van Smith. His initial meeting was very insightful providing several options and a clear explanation. We are moving forward with planning for the future so our family will have no questions about our wishes. It's about time!

Smith Strong was a life line when I needed one most.  Making the decision to move forward with getting divorced was a brutal and lonely path. Making that first phone call to Smith Strong was really tough.  But, from the initial conversation, Alex Phillips and Kala Swenson made me feel like they had my back and were part of my team.  They treated me with respect and genuine empathy while skillfully navigating this challenging time.  They were there for me through all the twists and turns and continue to be there for me today when issues arise with my children.  I highly recommend Smith Strong and specifically Alex Philips. He is an excellent attorney who guided me through the intense emotions to make realistic and long-term minded decisions.  He helped me achieve the best possible outcome during the lowest point in my life.  As a new single parent, I went on to work with Van Smith to craft an estate plan as a safety net for my children should something happen to me.  It's not fun to consider your own demise, but gosh I'm thankful to know there is a binder in my house that has all my wishes, decisions, and assets carefully documented.  I think about it every time I travel and pat myself on the back for taking the time to put that plan together.  Having that piece of mind was so worth it.

My fiance and I attended a free seminar covering wills and trusts. Van Smith and his staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions, specifically during the drafting, review and funding meetings. Mr. Smith and his firm have developed a trusting relationship. If you are hesitant and maybe feeling in the dark when it comes to estate planning, trusts, wills, etc., Smith Strong is a great place to lay a foundation for you and your loved ones.

Going on strong recommendations from a friend I chose this firm to represent me in a "current situation" ..the staff were all friendly an accommodating..my case was reviewed in a timely manner an all processes explained to me..I had no issues here and if I need help again I'd definitely use this firm .
