Our Clients Say It Best: Smith Strong Law Firm Delivers Outstanding Legal Services

Van Smith is not only expert counsel, he is empathetic and knowledgeable. His negotiating skills are top notch.

I was so delighted with how things worked out that I feel I have to share this experience. Obviously, to maintain a well-functioning law office, and he does, I knew it wouldn’t be cheap. But I will be honest, and I haven’t told him this, it didn’t come close to what I expected. The fees were so reasonable that any future client should not allow themselves to be overly concerned about this. Just know that [attorney Van Smith] will FIGHT for you.

My wife and I quickly realized Van was someone who was intelligent, well-versed in his profession, and personable. As a professor, I appreciate a good teacher and Van is such a person. He rewrote my will exactly the way we wanted it and explained the value of trusts to us in a very clear and concise manner.

He was very reassuring in our discussion this evening in the sense that I KNOW I have the best representation regardless of the outcome . . . . I saw [attorney Van Smith] in court yesterday plying his profession successfully, not for the court, not just to win, but in order to provide his clients with the best defense of their case. I wasn't able to observe his body language or facial expressions but there was never any doubt in mind that he cared about my family.

At a very scary crossroads in my life, Van and his team guided me with expert and professional advice. He addressed all of my concerns and was able to keep my case out of court (even though I was pushing for it). His reputation precedes him and his work proves it.

As we discussed in the initial consultation, I chose your firm because of the level of customer service that I perceived in your reviews and review responses (remember to keep responding to reviews because it matters!), I was thoroughly impressed by everyone that I spoke with and they far exceeded my expectations. I will be sure to recommend you to anyone I know that may need your services.

The estate and probate process can be a pain and Van and his staff have earned a customer for the long term.

I heard such positive feedback about you and your talk. I would definitely love to have you speak again this year.

Now I know who to call when I have clients going through divorce!

I really enjoyed reading it, it didn't feel like I was reading a legal document. You did a great job making it a lot like an interesting non-fiction book with your own personal experiences.

Van's legal guidance was "spot on" and it was clear that he truly had my best interests at heart. I can't say enough nice things about him and his team at Smith Strong.
