Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Jerri and Jodi have been my saving grace over the last 2.5 years. Jerri is a beast in the court room and knows what she is taking about. She does not sugar coat or mislead you. Jerri is honest and will not milk you for what you do or don't have. Jerri's rate is what is because she does her best. Also as far as staff goes, Jodi has done a great jump listening to me, guiding me and supporting me. She is an angel. This lawfirm has good people, real people and you get what you pay for. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jerri Smitko!!!
I first went to this office over 2 years ago in desperate need for someone to assist me with child custody and community property issues. Ms. Smitko took my information and she and her team told me not to worry about anything, they would fight for me. My first experience of seeing her at work was during a deposition with my ex-husband. I was terrified and stressed until I could not sit still. This powerful attorney worked this event so hard and powerful and I never had to open my mouth. Each time I have had some issues with my case, she has worked and maneuvered so powerful and fiercely that all my anxiety left and I wasted energy. My recent court event, went so amazing with her quick thinking, enormous amount of knowledge and zest in performance in the courtroom which took my breathe away. But, the one thing that I can say that sticks out most about Ms. Jerri and her team, is the sincere love and patience they have invested to protect us.
