A week after the due date, nothing done. Then leaving messages for 2-3 weeks before we received the courtesy of a call back. Nothing accomplished, no letters sent. This happened probably 6 or 7 times. Then we were sued because of not cooperating. We would have been better off without any representation. Mr. Smiths negligence caused us to be sued and I have the documentation. When he found out the value of the asset we were selling, he tried to broker the sale when we already had the buyer. Then he said, "Well, looks like there will be enough money for everyone." PS Couldn't return calls because he was out of town to attended 6 funerals. Couldn't return call because flight was cancelled due to mechanical. Guess he was busy fixing it.

I…read morewould never interact or retain any lawyer in the future without begging him first to represent me even if it is out of their particular specialty. Even if you live in Seattle proper, please trust me and take the short drive to consult with his firm. Once you compare his fees, amazing staff and case results to the bigger Seattle firms you might have initially intended to work with, I am POSITIVE you will change your mind. A family friend of ours (who is also a lawyer), was the person who originally referred me to this amazing firm. A list of the reasons you want to go to David Smith Law Firm rather than anyone else if you live in the Seattle/Tacoma area. -The minute you walk into his office, you feel instantly comfortable. No need to be nervous, skeptical or embarrassed explaining your legal problem and needs. Everyone in the office is really adept at making you feel comfortable and helping the process move smoothly and effectively; -Unlike most law firms, that make you feel like you are selling them on you and your case, everyone at David Smith Law Firm is really nice and customer service friendly to the extreme; They are straightforward and up front about everything and greet and treat you with respect, care and consideration. -These are top level lawyers who regularly attain optimal results and outperform expectations; -Ridiculously- affordable pricing structure; I have never had another lawyer provide me with a lower flat fee in my 20 plus years of having to retain legal advice and counsel. I dare you to find another firm who will do more better work for less money. It doesn't exist!! There are never hidden fees or surprises even when the situation requires more work or follow up. -State of the Art Microsoft operating software and legal tools reduce the amount of work and time you have to spend filling out endless forms and drafting lists and materials. I have had some really horrible prior experiences with lawyers of all types. The David Smith Law firm really restored my optimism, and reversed my preconceptions and negative biases about having to deal with legal matters.

Lets just say thank God for Google and my family finding this firm…read more From start to finish this firm is extremely professional and handles everything with great care and concern. Their priority is to fight for your best outcome and do everything they can to make that happen for you. This was a 1 and a half year investigation that led to a General Court martial. We were fighting for my 11-year career with MEB pending. Initially I started with Mrs. Jocelyn Stewart with the intention of being taken over by Mr. Harnish once he officially onboarded with the firm in November of 2021. Mrs. Stewart gives specific initial instruction and guidance and I would encourage you to do exactly what she says. If you're located at JBLM this firm knows this AO and knows how these other entities operate to a T. In November of 2021 I began working with Mr. Harnish and from the start I felt like he TRULY understood my experience and was the only one on my side. When I say this man is passionate about fighting for his clients and advocating for them, that is not an understatement. Throughout this process I had several medical circumstances that became apparent and Mr. Harnish told me to focus on my health regardless of what he was needing from me legally. It is very clear that Mr. Harnish is not only highly educated but experienced as well. His resume speaks for itself. But in practice you see this education and experience come through. Mr. Harnish was always several steps ahead in planning, preparing, and processing all possible avenues of this case. The week of the court-marital was absolutely the most uncomfortable feeling I have ever felt. Having to put all my faith and future in the hands of a stranger was more than I could even describe. Mr. Harnish rose to the occasion and surpassed my expectations. He was very poised and calculated in his strategy. The way Mr. Harnish fought for me during my proceedings was phenomenal. Several times throughout the court-martial Mr. Harnish was met with resistance and he never backed down, became intimidated or relented. He only fought harder. There were many moments during the court-martial that I felt very uncertain of how things were going but Mr. Harnish reassured me that everything was ok. Mr. Harnish came in full force and seriously performed at another level. Let's just say there is a reason people know this firm on JBLM. They know Mr. Harnish's name. In the end, I received the absolute best possible outcome. It felt like an absolute dream or miracle, but Mr. Harnish did it. He secured it for me. Overall, I cannot thank Mr. Harnish or this firm enough. He gave me my life back and my future as well. My family line will know of these individuals, Mrs. Jocelyn Stewart and Mr. Cody Harnish. If I could give them a 20 out of 10 I would. You can't put a price on your life and future, but I will say this firm, Mr. Harnish, is ABSOLUTELY worth every single penny. If you've gotten to the end of this review and haven't already scheduled a consultation, then I don't know what else to tell you because this firm is absolutely above the rest. There is a reason they have 5 out of 5 stars. Like I said people know their name. And I could tell you, I wouldn't want to have to face them in court. Also, if you are reading this because you are in need of legal representation, I offer you these words of encouragement. Lean on your legal team. This firm knows what they are doing and can handle the heaviness of what you are going through. They eat this stuff for breakfast, where for a regular person this is a whole different world. It will probably be a long road ahead but they will keep you focused and getting through the process. Do what they ask of you and ask questions and share your concerns. You will get through this. They truly are on your side and are vehemently fighting and wanting what's best for YOU.

Hillary Dawn came onto my case a month before mediation, got up to speed quickly, and achieved the…read moreend goal, which was a divorce. It was very expensive, despite being on the case for a short time, but it was worth it to get to the finish line. I appreciate that Hillary listened and processed my experience while working hard to make things happen. The only reason I didn't give a 5/5 is due to the cost. Without financial support from my family, I'm not sure how I would have managed.

*1/5 Stars - Avoid This Firm Unless You Have Deep Pockets*…read more I would strongly advise against hiring MCKINLEY IRVIN for your divorce proceedings. My experience with this firm was extremely disappointing and left me feeling exploited. The costs associated with their services are exorbitant, with tens of thousands of dollars required upfront. For the hefty price tag, I expected a high level of service and expertise. Unfortunately, what I got was subpar. The lawyers failed to provide clear answers to my questions, leaving me confused and uncertain throughout the process. Instead of guiding me through the necessary steps, they shifted tasks onto me, only to bill me for their supposed "review" of my work. Much of the work they requested was unnecessary and never utilized. Even after the divorce was finalized, I was left in the dark on how to utilize my divorce documents. You'd think that for the substantial fees paid, they would provide some level of post-divorce support. The billing was relentless, with every minor task or communication scrutinized for potential charges. The lack of transparency and value for money was staggering. Unless you have upwards of $100,000 to spend on a divorce with little return, I would never recommend MCKINLEY IRVIN. Their priorities seem to lie more in maximizing their profits than providing meaningful legal assistance. After MCKINLEY IRVIN refused to help me with post divorce support I talked to other firms and lawyers in family law and explained what went through and how much I paid and they all said would have done the exact same work for a fraction of the cost and provided prudent information on how to use my divorce documents as well as provide post divorce support Avoid MCKINLEY IRVIN at all cost and find a lawyer or firm that cares more about you then they do about taking your money *Pros: My divorce is finalized* *Cons:* - Excessive upfront costs - Poor communication and lack of answers - Unnecessary work shifted onto the client - No post-divorce support - Aggressive billing practices - Little value for money *Recommendation:* Explore alternative options that prioritize client needs over profits.
