Accident settlement

JD Smith did an excellent job of representing me in my injury claim. He guided me along every step of the way, and ensured I received a fair settlement, which exceeded anything I would have been able to accomplish on my own—John Healy Spokane

Trust that JD and his team will take care of you. They will get the job done!

JD,Tonya, and his team were all professional, humble, knowledgeable, strong and all hands on deck to expedited my case. Tonya is graceful and was on top of sending / requesting documents to me. JD knows what his is doing! Trust JD and his team. My insurance company tried to haggle me. But... Jd, and his team were diligent , motivated to pursue and secure me with more the insurance company offered. Trust JD and his team to get the job done! I received way more than what was offered to me originally. Lastly, the song that plays in my head is ; He may not come when you want him. But he’ll be there right there right on time! He is an on time God! Yes he is! Thanks JD, Tonya, and associates ! You are truly appreciated! God Bless !

Great service

I was referred to J.D. Smith and his team after I was involved in a car accident, and from the start they exceeded my expectations. Although I was initially unsure of the process, J.D. and his team were consistently patient, knowledgeable, and responsive. They answered all of my questions, provided c...lear guidance, and kept me informed at every step. Thanks to their efforts, I received a settlement that my wife and I felt was more than fair. I’m truly grateful for the professionalism, support, and time J.D. Smith and his team dedicated to my case.
