Douglas Edward Smith's Lawyer Endorsements
"I had the pleasure of working with Doug on a large wage hour collective action from start to finish. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, devoted to his craft, and a pleasure to work with. I learned a great deal from him, feel honored to have had the opportunity to work with him, and recommend him highly."
"I endorse Doug. I have worked with Doug on committees, working on draft legislation and regulations, and we have worked together on class actions where we are representing co-defendants. Doug understands the intricacies of wage and hour law and pays attention to details that many others miss. In my book, he is one of the best wage and hour attorneys in Seattle."
