If you're a man, don't use this guy. Use Hillary Holmes instead.

My ex used the legal system in WA state to put me in an extremely bad way. Apparently, I "attacked my son." She even admitted it to me as a lie and I informed Mr. Smith about this statement. He said, "well it worked." Throughout my divorce he didn't advise me one time. He always asked me, what I... wanted to do. I'm not the expert, I hoped he was and he charged me as if he was. A friend advised me to use Hillary Holmes as he did, I wish I had. He said Hillary was all over it and he felt she really protected him and had his back. Mr. Smith didn't even have my file available at the settlement conference and I got my clock cleaned. I talked with the judge about my issues or distortions my ex said about our finances in an effort to help myself. Not a word from Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith certainly didn't wait to invoice me, however. If you're a man, look elsewhere.................Please!!!!!!!!!!......... This guy won't help you in the slightest. He believes everything the other attorney tells him...........I mean everything.

The BEST of the best!

Dan took on my 2 year long divorce case with ONE month to go before my trial. Being a father in the state of Washington and fighting for joint custody, I honestly didn't think I had a chance. I was wrong! Dan not only got me joint custody, he saved me a lot of money too! He absolutely owned that cour...troom and did his homework- only 1 month before my trial! Trust me when I tell you this.. Dan is THE man! Highly recommend!

Exceptional Job

Mr. Daniel Smith took over my divorce case at the halfway point; it was spinning out of control. He stepped in and quickly made progress in a professional and steady way. He negotiated an excellent settlement for me. I am extremely happy with all aspects of the service he provided.

Best Kid Protection

When looking for the BEST lawyer to represent you, look NO further! Dan is amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me in my divorce case. Unfortunately, our case ended up in trial, but through it all Dan and his team were there to represent, protect and support our family. ... Dan was always prepared and focused and is clearly respected by the judges. It is without reservation that I recommend Daniel Smith. He will care about you and represent you and your family better than anyone else around.

Very poor result in my Divorce case

In my divorce his paralegal ignored tons of evidence I sent over to Smith's office. My ex was found in contempt of court orders. I was promised there would be sanctions taken against her. It never happened. He ignored my communications with him specific to the case.My ex took everything. I Ran up... a huge legal bill I still owe and my ex is still laughing at me about the poor representation I had. I was left in debt with nothing.
