Wanda Smith's Lawyer Endorsements
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I've known and worked with Wanda since 2006, when I worked for her at an oil and gas exploration company. Later, Wanda was a client of mine in that industry for several years. Wanda brings not just competence to whatever she works on, but a strong desire to stay current on the law, and to find the best solution for her clients. She's not one to rest on her laurels, but constantly pushes herself to be better, to learn more, and to be more for her clients. Her study and certifications in the area of forensic genealogy puts her in a very elite population of attorneys, and stands as a great example of a person who always seeks to be the best she can be. What Wanda has learned about probate, real property, genealogy, oil and gas, intestacy (and so much more) puts her in a unique position to see a much greater context for her clients than most attorneys who have focused on solely on area of law. Wanda will serve her clients well."
