The team at Smith Strong made the legal process of getting divorced as painless as possible. I was nervous about making sure everything was done right and wanted to work with professionals who could make sure that it did. They made me feel comfortable and thoroughly explained the entire process during our first meeting with excellent communication throughout the remainder of the process. Really friendly and professional team. Highly recommend them for any family law needs!

I attended Van's work shop and learned so much about financial planning, I wish I would have found him sooner. After my FREE consultation, I can see that creating a piece of mind is his only goal. I hope everyone has the opportunity to meet with Van. 10 out of 10. He is the ultimate life coach.

Smith Strong, PLC handled my case well. They were knowledgeable, concerned and walked me through all the details. I highly recommend them for your Divorce, Custody and Estate Planning needs.

Smith Strong was very helpful with my divorce. I had moved out of state and they handled everything in RVA with almost no extra hassle on my end.

Attorney Van Smith was excellent. He was always quick to respond, and always seemed to be ten steps ahead of opposing counsel. He guided me through a very difficult process and placed me at ease. I highly recommend Van and his staff.

I loved working with Van and his team. I went to the estate planning seminar to educate myself for myself and my clients. I had been putting off doing my Living Will cuz it seems so morbid, but I know it needs to be done. And I Really wanted a strong medical directive so that I am not kept alive in some heinous medical condition. I did not do the Living Trust/Asset Trust at this moment, but HIGHLY recommend having one as it protects you and your loved ones from becoming broke should you need long-term care or get sued, etc. The whole team was also really fun to work with, with a lightness and great energy. Thanks Van!

Simple words can not convey how I truly feel about this firm. To me, these people are FAMILY. Over the past few months I've utilized their services TWICE! My (now husband) has used them THREE times! Their ability to take a sensitive area like family law and calmly discuss options and implement outcomes is impeccable. They assisted with my divorce and my estate planning. Van Smith, April Anderson and Taren Mitteer were AWESOME!!! I would especially like to say that April Anderson was especially helpful in all things legal and gave support on the phone during an especially emotional episode. The personal and heartfelt care is much appreciated.

I experienced a very difficult divorce situation. I chose to leave the services of another well know firm and received a recommendation to use Robert Smith. Robert Smith was an absolute blessing to me as I worked my way through the divorce.The journey through a divorce is full of emotions and legal hurdles. Robert and Owen(paralegal) never made me feel unsupported emotionally or legally. They responded to me quickly with any questions I had and let me know they would fight for me. They went above and beyond my expectations. They are both men of character, kindness, and are very talented . I give them the highest possible recommendation.

I had a very difficult custody situation with a narcissistic/controlling ex husband. I needed to release the control he had and Alex Phillips was the man for the job. After our consultation, I knew I could not pick anyone else, as he guided me without even being hired yet on my next steps. Because of him, I was finally brave enough to do so. Eventually I realized I needed his assistance and made the best decision which was to hire his services. This firm is great! They are in constant contact with you and Alex also has a sense of humor which made me feel comfortable in confiding in him. He prepared me very well for this case. The judge was very impressed with him! He has a calm tactic that really works well for him. He puts his heart into your case. I do not regret choosing him whatsoever. Between him and Kala Swanson, his paralegal, they made this so much easier for me and answered all my questions...I believe me...there were many! I recommend him completely! You will not be disappointed! Because of him, my ex lost control and he is not a happy camper! The battle will always keep going but I know who I trust bringing on that journey! Thank you Smith and Strong!

We had been putting off making a will and planning for retirement for some time. Glad we met with Van Smith. His initial meeting was very insightful providing several options and a clear explanation. We are moving forward with planning for the future so our family will have no questions about our wishes. It's about time!

He goes beyond , to get the job done, he is the best!!!

Great lawyers, great people. They worked with me, they are very knowledgeable and know what they are doing. Anyone looking for a family law lawyer should at very least give them a call.
