Former trial lawyer's Review of Jill Smith

I came to know Ms. Smith through a blog of former trial lawyers, lawyers, uber paralegals working in the "foreclosure defense" field of law as it has come to be known in the last few years. I have almost 30 years of high end trial experience myself so I know when I am talking to a good lawyer and s...omeone who knows what they are doing. Jill does. I have worked with her on case in the foreclosure area which is an area of the law which is changing and developing on daily basis. There are numerous theories depending on jurisdiction (state or fed and the particular state), whether the case is in pre foreclosure, the client is in bankruptcy, a loan mod is being sought, or the client is actually in foreclosure. The area is very very complex procedurally as well as with cases that are coming out on a daily basis. Jill is knowledgeable and works with those of us on the blog to keep knowledgeable and help her with the latest position that should be taken for her client(s). She is good tactically, she writes well, and she understands the issues--and not many lawyers do, I assure you.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"There are only a few attorneys in WA State who understand and can handle foreclosure defense cases that require litigation (not just a bankruptcy and repayment approach). Jill is one of them and is well worth a call or a referral."
