He is personable, communicative and open about everything that was going on. I had a great experience working with him and am thankful he had the time to take my case. He made me feel comfortable through the process and treated me Like a human being, unlike other lawyers who just want to suck you dry of all your money. I definitely recommend him, he worked hard for me and my family and we received a positive outcome in our case. During the process I also worked with Carly and Cathy, who are also fantastic and helpful in every way.

This review is specifically for Chelsea Miller and her assistant, Dara Tremblay at Blado Kiger…read moreBolan. I have previously had poor experiences with family law lawyers that led me to be wary of them moving forward. Now, years later, I found I needed legal help for a contentious parenting plan modification. Ms. Miller was recommended to me by someone else and I approached with caution. However, she immediately allayed my fears with extraordinary professionalism. She is blunt in the best way possible - cutting to the immediate issue with an immense amount of family law expertise to back her up. When I arrived for my initial consultation, she came prepared by having already read through the basics of my case online. She listened intently and asked specific questions and was honest with her opinions. While she takes a measured personal approach, she is fierce in the defense of her clients once a course of action has been plotted. She doesn't resort to cheap tactics or emotional fluff because she doesn't need to; she has the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve her goals and doesn't want to waste her client's precious time or the court's time. Ms. Miller and Ms. Tremblay are responsive and I've never felt ignored by either of them. She is personable and attentive. My case is not yet completely resolved but, whichever way it goes, I already know that I made the best choice for legal representation possible.

These guys handled my amicable dissolution of marriage a few years ago. I'm still learning about…read moreall the ways they happily let me get screwed over. My ex-husband knew the attorney (Drew Dickinson), which was probably my first mistake. my ex got away without paying any interest on the money he owed me, no child support step increases or periodic adjustment, nothing about if he would help pay for college. I thought the lawyer was there to make sure things were fair and give us knowledge about what things needed to be addressed. I would recommend that nobody go to these folks for a dissolution. Go hire a good lawyer instead.

I had a tragic end to a 20 year marriage. Instead of leaving me, my (now ex-wife) filed bogus DV…read morecharges, had me arrested, and served me with divorce papers all in the same week. Her representation was an expensive bulldog type attorney and I felt doom. She wanted everything and for me to be penniless. It was a well planned devious attack on everything I worked hard for over two decades. Rhonda Burnett at Clayton Dickinson handled my case. She walked me through the process, made a plan, and executed it perfectly. It was really amazing to see her and her staff obtain information on accounts my ex had set up two years earlier, that I knew nothing about. It was even more amazing to see her in the court room, in action. She knocked it out of the park with style and finesse. When the dust settled, I was awarded half of all properties, moneys, equity, retirement accounts, and even half of the accounts that I didn't even know existed. You will not meet a happier divorced fella, let me tell ya. This firm was a Godsend. Mike P.

They told us that Rebecca was assigned to represent us.

I had not been happy with Dan but in order to get the divorce as quickly as possible I asked if he would represent us. I was told by the clerk that Dan was not interested. Instead, Rebecca referred us to another attorney. I checked and discovered that this attorney's license had been suspended several years ago due to a history of abuse and other issues.

Please don't let this person near your probate case he is the worst…read more first off i can only comment on his actions as a court appointed executor and he is wrong on so many levels first there was only one major asset to be split 3 ways he took almost an entire year to pay out his record keeping is all over the place and a joke he deposited the money to his 'business' account keeping all interest that was paid from the sale he charged us for paying off debt to pay himself back for paying off bills out of the account he put our money in as far as I am concerned he is a crook who will rob you also he gave no copies of anything the only reason we know anything is because we paid for the court docs he filed to close probate before we knew anything and basically just used us signing for payment as signing off on everything how do you miss calculate a hundred and 20 thousand dollars there was no copies that he actually paid off any bills and i believe he knew exactly what he was doing and has probably done it to others there is a reason he deals with the poorer people because we are already used to not having a lot so he can take advantage of our grief and rob us blind and since we are not expecting a whole lot we are just going to want to hurry this process up and be happy to get whatever he wants to leave us Please don't become one of this mans victims.

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.
