Paternity/Custody

“I now live in PA but needed a lawyer in Washington State to help with my Paternity/Child Custody issues. I spoke to multiple lawyers in Washington and felt they really didn’t care and were only interested in getting the huge retainer they required up front. Feeling uncomfortable I started searchin...g for lawyers again and came across Terry L. Smith. I went on his website and read the comments from people he has helped so I called him. This was the best move I ever made. Terry and everyone in his office were knowledgeable, professional, personable and just a pleasure to work with. They made me feel like they really cared about my case and they really did care even though I was 3000 miles away. They responded to every email within hours and also returned all calls promptly. It turned out I was not the father of the child in question but Terry also helped me re-coup all the child support I already paid out. I could not have done any of this without Terry and his staff’s excellent work. I would strongly recommend Terry and his office for your Paternity/Child Custody legal needs. Thanks again to Terry and everyone in the office!”

Best on Whidbey Island

Mr Smith's professionalism, calm and reassuring demeanor and incomparable business ethnic renders him a complete rarity in this day and age. After finding myself in a bit of a sticky whicket Mr Smith set legal matters right with competence and timliness. In my more than minimal exp...erience with legal professionals Mr Smith stands head and shoulders above the rest. I would not hesitate in the least to recommend him.

BEST LAWYER YOU COULD EVER WANT

Terry Smith is the best lawyer you could ever want. Terry ended up getting my reckless driving charge completely dropped off my record and the fine to a minimal. He was extremely helpful in informing me in everything that was happening and was a great choice. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer.... He is extremely good at what he does and it is very obvious when you meet him. If you need a lawyer, I would go straight to Terry Smith.
