"Maggie and I are members of the KCBA Business law section. She has a strong business acumen which she uses seamlessly in all areas of her practice. I've admired the way she has developed a niche practice by understanding the business side of family and international law. She is very active in the community and where possible she is first on my list of referrals."
"Maggie Smith is a superb attorney. I know her primarily as a member of family and international law sections of the American and King County (Washington State) Bar Associations. She is a well known and highly respected attorney locally and nationally in the areas of family law, child custody, collaborative law, and international law. She is also a very talented leader of groups of other attorneys who practice in these subject areas. I would recommend her to any potential client without reservation."
"I have known Ms. Smith for a number of years now, both as an opposing counsel and as a fellow Collaborative lawyer. I have alwasy found her to be a good lawyer to work with. As a Collaborative lawyer, she works to find good resolutions for her clients through peaceful means."
