Jill J Smith

Jill is one of very few attorneys in Washington and from my research the US, that understands the mad and sad science that the banks and their predatory lending products have cost our country so much. Jill stays in the "pit" with her clients, and plans strategically for your case. She will not bac...k down, and adheres to providing the best defense against the egregious conduct of banks, trustee companies, and all entities who are/were involved in strategic foreclosure methods (all planned due to predatory lending) against home owners because of their greed. The home owners, me being one of them, did what was asked of me, and I was totally mislead, lied to, and almost destroyed by these institutions who operate from a position of superiority and their enormous wealth, that we by the way, have helped to make them become so. These institutions think they are untouchable, and what Jill has done for me, is to give me my self worth back and have helped me to see and understand that I too am entitled. I am worthy of having the home I purchased and have given my life's savings to keep. She has given my voice a legal platform, and she stands with me and they now have to listen. They have had to "deal" with me against their will and it has cost them to do so, because they can no longer bully me around according to their will, I am not going away until it is over! Thanks to Jill, she has guided and directed my case in a way that most attorneys won't even touch because they don't think they can win against these institutions, some don't know how to fight them, and quite a few don't have a clue! Jill is not in that catagory. Using the law, she is wiling to stand toe to toe with all they can muster, and use the law for the people, who also have rights. Is it easy, no it isn't, but anything that is your life's mission, is worth fighting for, it is not like we get to come back to this planet for a do over! Justice is not justice unless we stand and fight for it. I am not willing to follow the carrot until it is too late to see that they have led me to a cliff that guarantees I won't be coming back anytime soon! There are very few attorneys who even know what to do, or know how to apply the law in this area of expertise. With Jill, it is not a guessing game, an attorney must know the game and the rules in order to win, and so far, I am winning. No one said justice would be swift, it is taking a while, but well worth it. Jill is willing to go the distance. She takes her work seriously, she cares about her clients because she knows that most of them now have PTSD from the experience, there are internal emotions of highs and lows, because the foreclosure experience is serious and can take the joy out of your life and anyone in it. It wasn't until I left her office after having fought alone for a minimum of 5 years (because I couldn't find an attorney who knew more than I did), that I was able to breathe! I actually remember the moment as if it were yesterday, what she said made sense, she assured me of what I could and could not expect, and she gave me security in knowing that she is in this until the end, and that her knowledge and those of her colleagues were going to be used to the greatest extent to fight for me. She also told me if she didn't think we had a good case, she wouldn't even take it, and would share with me her opinion as to what I should or should not do. However, I knew I had a good case, I was looking for someone who had as much dedication and fortitude as I did against this injustice! Well, Jill was and is, the "it" factor. I appreciate her knowledge, strategy, and patience. There are many steps in this process, not all of the judges know about this area of expertise, you can't count on all rulings to be right, you just have to stay in the fight! Jill will stay in the fight with you, so that for you and those coming afterwards have hope, right can win! "Never, never, never, quit!" Quote by Winston Churchill

Jill is one of only a handful of attorneys in Washington state willing to take on the mortgage banking industry and go the distance for homeowners. She is currently handling my case and has exceeded my expectations as to her knowledge and understanding of the fraud that has been perpetrated on homeow...ners in regards to the mortgage backed securities industry (aka derivatives)
