  • Dear Smith Strong team, Thank you for partnering with us to bring your legal expertise to our community! We appreciate everyone's time, professionalism, and dedication to putting on an informative workshop. We're grateful to be connected and look forward to future opportunities. Sincerely, The Full Circle Team
  • Hi, Van and John. Van, once again, thanks so much for answering our questions yesterday. We left a Google review today for you and the firm. We hope this is of value to you. We feel much more at ease now knowing that we have plans in place for the future distribution of our assets for the benefit of our children. We sincerely thank you both and the team for helping us get to this place. Have a great weekend!
  • With all our thanks we want you to know that me are grateful for your kind and considerate way, and we thank you for being so special! Please thank Bri!
  • The entire process of estate planning was made quick and easy by Bri Allen and Nicole Gram. Altogether, it was a pleasant experience. Many thanks to the entire firm for putting my mind (and those of my children) at ease.
  • "...Based on his free guidance, not once, but twice, to help me make the best possible decision for myself & my family, I hired SmithStrong as my attorney to handle my Estate. While the price was a little higher than what I expected, for the free advice and actual planning provided, it was totally worth it. The staff is pleasant & professional & always follows up in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Smith Strong, PLC to anyone looking for a Virginia Estate Planning Attorney"
  • I just wanted to say as a first time client of Smith Strong, how great an experience our meeting was today! David was a pleasure to work with and his paralegal was so sweet. As a person who notices small details, I really appreciated everything from the welcoming reception down to the fancy pens and pen holders (which we swiped…sorry not sorry) Everything was very impressive and just top notch. You both bring a lot of care and class to everything you do and it shows! We love you guys! Hope you have a great rest of the week!
  • Smith Strong stood above at the outset.
  • Van, however, took the time and has the patience to fully explain the legal procedures.
  • He was able to effortlessly and clearly contextualize complex concepts which enabled us to visualize how each component of the overall plan works together for our benefit
  • Experience, knowledge, and professionalism helpful during the process of reviewing and updating estate plan.
  • Thank you so very much for your special and personal attention to my situation [her Husband recently passed, and she came in for a will-based estate plan]. You have always been a special person to my [late Husband] Don and I and our meeting last week to get my estate plan in order just confirms to me your character.
  • Van and the rest of the team at Smith Strong have done excellent work with us.
