Great Attorney - HIGHLY RECCOMEND

Randy and his staff have helped us with several real estate and trust issues over the past 5 years and have exceeded all of our expectations. They are very prompt and professional and are our GO TO attorney for all legal issues.

The One You Can Trust

I asked to meet with Randy because he created a trust for a friend of mine. I was impressed with his professionalism and his concern to do what is best for his clients. I have referred him to many other people since he created my trust.

Excellent Attorney

I have had the pleasure of working with Randy Smith for over 10 years on all of my legal needs. Randy has handled all of my personal and professional matters from simple telephone questions to a complete estate plan. Always timely and professional. I can see no reason that I would ever seek a differ...ent attorney. 100% satisfied and I would highly recommend to anyone.

An Excellent, Friendly Lawyer

I've been a client of Randy's for over a year. He's always provided excellent, timely service. He and his staff have been a great help with our legal needs.

Estate Planning Made Simple

My husband and I have 5 children from previous marriages and wanted to ensure our marital property would go first to the surviving spouse then be divided equally among the surviving children once both of us are gone. Randy helped educate us in the various options available, the pros and cons of each... option, drafted all of the documents, recorded necessary documents and provided everything we needed to notify all of our account holders and provide detailed information to our trustees. His office has promptly responded when I've asked them to send documents directly to financial institutions when I did not have correct documentation with me. He also set up our medical directives, which gratefully we have not needed to use.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Randy Smith represented the Seller and I represented the Buyer group on a purchase of a commercial building in Springfield MO. Randy was very prompt in moving the deal forward under a tight timeline even though he (my opinion) had challenging clients. Randy is an excellent communicator and I felt like I knew where we stood each step of the transaction."

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.
