CLIENT REVIEWS


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. :-) John & Lan. N,
Virginia, Estate Planning Client
Client expresses her gratitude for Attorney Van Smith's hard work and attention
to detail with her legal matter, and gifts him with a lovely basket of citrus
fruit. Boska G., age 62, Roanoke, VA
"...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" Helen L., age 54, Henrico County, Virginia, Estate Planning
Client
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 Doug Holsclaw age
58 from Chesterfield, VA divorce client
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! Lauren B,
age 33, Chester, Virginia, Will and Trust-based Estate Planning client, mother
of 3 children

TRUSTED VIRGINIA FAMILY LAW & ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL,
PERSONAL SERVICE IN RICHMOND AND CENTRAL VIRGINIA

You deserve a personal, boutique family law and estate planning firm for life’s
greatest transition points: separation/divorce; estate planning/retirement; and
elder law/avoiding unnecessary nursing home and long term care costs. And your
family, your financial security, and possibly your children’s futures, at this
moment, frankly requires a personal approach. 

Family law and estate planning are simply different and more deeply personal,
than other areas of legal practice. It requires an outstanding knowledge of
Virginia’s laws and the court system, as well as the emotional intelligence and
discretion to handle delicate family law and estate planning subjects.

 * Disciplined: We begin working on your case from day one and update you on the
   progress of your legal matter each week. We answer our phones, calling you
   back the same day; all emails are responded to within 24 hours or less. 
 * Team Approach: We are the only law firm we know that meets as an entire firm,
   3 days each week, to review each client matter to ensure success. 
 * Integrity: We will make a concerted effort to keep you, your family, and your
   finances out of the courtroom - if we can achieve a fair and reasonable
   outcome out of court through discreet settlement
 * Honest: More important than the flat fee or billable hourly rate is the
   honesty of the attorney and team. Our 5-star client reviews, the highest
   number in the region, speak to our results and fees. 
 * Award-Winning: For the last seven years, and counting, our attorneys have
   received numerous awards, including Virginia Super Lawyers Rising Stars and
   Virginia Business Magazine’s Legal Elite designation.
 * Technology: One client, who is a local business executive, remarked, “Smith
   Strong is an Apple product in a very ‘PC’ legal market.” We pride ourselves
   on being cloud-based, wireless, and tech-driven since our founding - and it
   shows.
 * Giving Back: Smith Strong is proud to volunteer and financially support many
   local non-profits, community organizations, and churches including Project
   Hope: providing free medical care to leprosy patients in Ethiopia; the
   Parson’s Cause Foundation, Inc: A Hanover, Virginia based history programming
   group; CrossOver Healthcare Ministry: provides 6,500 Richmond area residents
   with free healthcare; and Historic Richmond Foundation: focused on
   preservation of historic architecture and history in central Virginia.
