Phenomenal and compassionate!
Attorney B. Smith was compassionate and very down to earth. She knows her stuff and she will tell you like it is. It was my honor and privilege meeting her today. She has a winning spirit even if she takes your case or not. Don’t be fooled by all the “YES” attorneys. Be grateful for the ones that well tell you NO. Thank you.

I had a free phone consultation regarding my older uncle's home going into foreclosure. Ms Smith was very patient, genuinely concerned, and compassionate. She listened to my concerns, explained how the court system works, asked me specific questions, and advised me on pros and cons of each outcome, then what she thought would be best to do. She was great!! I would recommend using her for any legal matters.

Integrity & her Clients Interest Above All
I knew Barbara when she was just starting out and even then she had integrity and her clients best interest at hand. Wanting a divorce and being a battered wife there were many issues that I overlooked but she didn't and she encouraged me to listen to what she had to say. At times I could sense her frustrations in my hesitancy, but her gentle persuasion ruled out and I became a happy free woman.

Professional, competent & caring advocate
Barbara provided me and my family with excellent advocacy to traverse a complicated & very personal legal situation. She was patient to put the proceedings (that meandered through numerous courts over the course of several years) into layman's terms and offer cogent advice on the best path forward at each juncture in the process. Barbara is tenacious, thorough, professional & she is always focused on the client's best interests.

Representation on class action steel siding lawsuit
Barbara Quinn Smith is a compassionate, aggressive, and diligent attorney. She gives attention to the details of a case and is not afraid to be aggressive to find a solution for her clients. She is willing to follow up on cases far after the settlement to be sure that the parties follow through as intended.

Excellent website for communication
Barbara always left messages for me and downloaded documents that were essential in my case to go over in my time. I never had questions that couldn't be answered in a timely manner. I really liked the website during the time my lawyer and I needed to communicate.
