Patrick Lee Smith

Attorney Smith has been such a blessing to our family. My parents chose him to plan their estate and told us to call him when the time came. Sadly, we did not know how soon that would be. Attorney Smith was so patient with us, walking us through the process of carrying out our parents’ final wishes. ...It’s clear why my parents spoke so highly of him. We could not have handled this emotional and overwhelming time in our lives without him. We are meeting with him next week to plan our estate and tell everyone we know about the service we received.

I found Patrick Smith to be very knowledgeable about estate planning and describing the difference between wills and trusts. He explained how wills go through probate but trusts do not. He asked before the appointment ended if I had any further questions and let me know that I could call him anytim...e. I received the drafts of my documents sooner than expected and when I contacted the office with questions, my call was promptly returned. Everything was explained to me in detail at my signing appointment and I have had no issues funding my trust or using my documents since. Mr. Smith is a wonderful and thorough attorney in my opinion.

If you are looking for low cost attorney to do your trust Patrick Smith is the type of attorney who can forfill this. I had a trust prepared by him in the past. In my opinion he is a "rush" attorney who don't have the time for his clients. You get what you pay for. I feel whenever I spoke to ...him he was not talking to me but talking down to me. His style in my opinion has a lot to be desired. A trust is a very complex process and one needs a great relationship with their attorney and that they are meticulous in execution of documents and understanding their clients. I'm in my 70's and feel he is no longer my type of attorney for my trust for many reasons. Again if you want a low cost fast pace trust attorney he might be for you.

I am glad I did not rely on the first review and went to see Patrick to judge his ability myself. Patrick analyzed a complex trust and insurance ilet for us free of charge. He did not pressure us to transfer to his firm nor did he recommend changes to the already written documents. This guy was profe...ssional, honest, and had our best wishes at heart when he took time to explain everything to us. Top notch professional that I would recommend and may possibly retain going forward. I'm glad to know I have someone in my corner like Patrick. Totally recommended!
