Qualified and knowledgeable Espert legal Advise

I practice law in Miami Florida for more than 30 years. I needed a smart and aggressive real estate litigator to assist my daughter, a college student in DC. I found Ms. Axsmith online, called her and was impressed on her quick grasp of the problem. I feel comfortable knowing now that I have secure...d a competent able professional to assist my child living far from home. Having personally litigated hundreds of trials in state and federal courts in a number of states I know a competent lawyer when I meet one. I recommend this one highly.

Foreclosure Defense Advice

As a homeowner facing foreclosure, I found Ms. Axsmith online and gave her a call a few months ago. She took the time to understand my situation and offered very helpful general advice on how I might proceed. At no time did she request a contract or retainer. I found her approach comforting and re...assuring compared to the many lawyers in this town who only seem to want the money. I hope to retain Ms. Axsmith when my foreclosure case is formalized.

The consultation of the centure

Wow! Just got off the phone with Ms. Axsmith, and recieved a fantastically helpful and generous consultation, without charge. I'm a DC landlord, and had questions about a whole bunch of things. Flood damage, (not) charging rent when the place is a wreck and under construction, leases, tenants gi...ving notice, me giving notice, advance rent, and understanding DC law and the courts. She made time for all of this, for free, enlightened me with clear ideas and directions, and wished me well--no hard sell for a fee consultation or service to buy from her. Axsmith gets it--help people if you can, and charge them when they need the really complicated stuff. And I feel confident that I can visit her for that paid help if I need it, and receive the same courteous, thoughtful professionalism I benefitted from today. Hot dang, I never expected to get that much help from a lawyer with a simple phone call!

Solid advice!

I had a real estate matter in whcih I was unsure about which direction to go in. Ms. Axsmith gave me solid advice, which I really respected. She was very professional and courteous. Based on our conversation, I would recommend her.

Fantastic Work!

Axsmith is dependable and has incisive instincts and gets to the meat of the case. My short sale went well and before the bank wouldn't even call me back.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
