"I felt heard and respected"William Smith did a wonderful job with our mediation process. We had tried another firm and had to terminate services midway. William took our case and helped us each reach an amicable and fair outcome. I know I felt heard and respected during the process. He listened to my concerns and was patient with my questions. He also went above and beyond after the process was complete to help us with some final paperwork. If you are looking for a fair mediator that will give you equitable space and time to figure things out, I highly recommend Mr. Smith.- Valerie Eddy

"I would highly recommend Will Smith for anyone in need of an experienced family law attorney"I have worked with William Smith with Solutions Based Family Law on a few occasions now. Initially he helped with my dissolution of marriage and parenting plan, and again more recently with a relocation case. I agreed with my ex-wife on most of the terms of dissolution and Will was able to help negotiate the remaining terms to meet or exceed my expectations. There were times when the situation had me a little irate, but Will was calm and professional and helped me understand the process. His paralegal and the rest of his team have been great to work with as well. During the case for relocation, I was told it wasn't likely to be a favorable outcome but I decided to press on. Will guided me through each of the steps I needed to take and helped me secure an underdog victory. He understood my financial situation and was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Will Smith for anyone in need of an experienced family law attorney.- John Simpson
