Barbara Smythe

At our family's request Ms. Symthe obtained a co-guardianship for our severely disabled adult brother. Two of his siblings were appointed co-guardians and it was done in an expedited manner as the circumstances required. Ms. Symthe consulted with our family not only throughout obtaining the guardianship, but thereafter when other issues arose as to his care. She has been superbly professional and supportive through very difficult circumstances regarding our brother. She was always available to speak to the family. The legal fees associated with our work with Ms. Smythe have been exceptionally fair and reasonable. We have appreciated working with her on every level.

We hired Barbara to revise our estate documents after we moved from Florida to Oregon. She did this work in a timely, competent manner, charging us what we felt was a fair fee for her work.

Completed our estate plan in an friendly efficient manner. She offered knowledgeable suggestions and listened carefully to our wishes.

Barbara has been my attorney for 4+ years. She helped me become the legal guardian of a relative during a difficult time. Guardianship must be renewed annually. Barbara contacts me well in advance of the renewal date to ensure that the guardianship does not lapse. She is kind and extremely professional. I highly recommend her.

Barbara is one who listens and makes sure she understands your needs and then provides the service you require. We had two living trusts we needed to setup that would cover two generations and she was able to meet our needs. What was needed was complicated but Barbara worked through it with ease and understanding. We are completely satisfied with her work and are now working with her again in another matter.
