I am always grateful when clients write thank you notes and leave satisfied scores on legal rating websites.  Of course, results vary and past performance does not provide any guarantee for future cases, or your case in particular.  But I’d be personally leery of becoming involved with an attorney with less than positive reviews. Wouldn’t you? 

These reviews were left on my public Avvo profile, emailed to our firm, or directly sent to us from this website.

  • 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.

  • Hi Van & Team, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU for helping us setup our trusts. The entire process has been very smooth and the SMITH STRONG team was awesome to work with and TOP NOTCH. We will definitely be referring our friends and family to your firm. Hopefully, we won’t need to use our Living Trust any time soon…. But, it’s good to know that it’s in place. :-)

  • "...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"

  • Smith Strong is a winning team; the best. Special appreciation and thanks go to Keith Jones and April Anderson. Thoroughgoing professionals are these two wonderful people. Keith by far the finest attorney I’ve ever had… and April, never misses a question, stays on the case, and olpetes the ‘dynamic duo.’ She’s a real prp and a kind, thoughtful lady. As you can see I am thankful for their successful representation on my behalf. Thank you Smith Strong

  • 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!

  • You had a grace about you that day [of my daughter's custody trial] that was powerful. Your elocution and well-placed coup de gras had the plaintiff's lawyer running after its tail. The words you spoke were potent and well-timed with exact execution. Despite over a thousand pages of discovery and years of gathered evidence, you possessed an eye to every side and angle of contingency. And to think the plaintiff had Virginia's top lawyer...and you buried him! The world needs more dedicated lawyers like you.
