I want to start off by thanking Richard Symmes and his team for the respect and patience they…read moreshowed me during this very stressful time. I was so intimidated with the thought of filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In my mind I had failed. That thought went away after speaking with Richard himself during my first free consultation. I explained my situation to him and explained that I was at a loss. Richard answered all of my questions and concerns with compassion and understanding. I originally called a different law firm, (because I googled bankruptcy and called the first one that popped up), and something did not feel right with them, it was like a sales call almost... I am so glad I trusted my gut and called Symmes Law Group after seeing their amazing reviews on google and yelp. I highly recommend Symmes Law Group for anyone who might be at a loss like I was and felt like there was nothing else to do with their debt. Thank you again Richard and team from the bottom of my heart for everything!!!

Though most people don't ever hope for a divorce, those who go through them hope for a good one…read more And one way to have a good one is of course to have a great lawyer, but perhaps also to think about the process as a way to come to mutual agreements about moving forward, as opposed to a battle of separate interests. For those who lean toward the former approach, Adrienne Keith is a fantastic resource, not only as a lawyer but as a calm, steady person. She works in Collaborative Law as well as mediation, and is active not only in volunteering but also in writing an insightful, funny, sensitive blog about divorce and family law-related topics (http://splitsvillenews.com/). While I didn't technically utilize Collaborative Law (she provides legal divorce services other than just that process), Adrienne was so helpful in carefully walking me through each step of the process, always calm, professional yet warm, and perfectly prepared. I truly appreciated her attitude of non-combativeness and of working to find mutual solutions to sticky issues. Should you find yourself or know someone who's in the situation of needing representation through a divorce or family law issue, do yourself a favor and get in touch with her. Plus, on the way out of the courthouse she handed me a really thick envelope....When I got home, I opened it. A lovely bar, of bittersweet chocolate.

I believe this was one of the most difficult cases the industry has seen. Without Janet, we would not know where my brother is today. His wife was going to take him out of the country to one with social and "free" medical where she has dual citizenship. My brother who saved a million dollars for his retirement is now reduced to go on State pay medical. Due to his wife gambling ALL the money away. It is important that you have the right representation for your case. Know the RCW Laws for the vulnerable adults and that spouses have a fiduciary duty to their spouse. We are grateful to Janet Smith. Without her help, we would be lost and sad and no know where our brother is. Thank you, Janet. You are our saving grace.

Then I started doing research on her and found all these bad reviews. I should of did my research before I hired her. I'm going to report her to the Better Business Bureau and take legal action against her. I paid her for a job she never finished. She was very very non professional and a waste of time and money.

She spent a great amount of time organizing and presenting the step by step process necessary in order to complete an adoption which was huge since we weren't familiar with all the legalities.

Even when things got a little messy, she found a way to push through. She miraculously got everything finalized in court as we had hoped and we were on our way. We'll definitely stay in contact with her just in case anything else we need assistance with arises in the future. Thanks again Joyce!
