What our clients are saying about us

Dear Tim,
I wanted to take a special opportunity to thank you and also to congratulate you on a job very well done recently. It was very interesting for me to watch your thought process and resultant actions in dealing with a man who was taking advantage of the letter of the law, to misuse the legal process, in an attempt to avoid his just debt and the legal action of the Court in Traverse City. I was impressed with your analysis and your action, and most impressed with your moral commitment to do what was just and right! Your conscientious concern is a credit to you and to your family and to the legal profession. Thank you again and best wishes."
Dr. John M.
Tim is a professional in every sense of the word. He maintains a positive attitude and a focus on core objectives, regardless of the obstacles. If I were looking for legal representation or professional advice in Northern Michigan, I would go to Tim Smith first… and I had over 1200 attorneys in my client list from his region. He’s the best of the best."

Dear Mr. Smith,
I wanted to thank you for helping me and being a fine example of a true humanitarian. You didn’t have to help or even counsel me… But you did and I really respect and appreciate everything you’ve done to keep my ‘ducks in a row."
