SMITHEN Law, Child & Family Advocacy

Highly recommend. Divorce is never easy, but with Ms. Smithen's help we were able to land on our feet. My case was handled with utmost attention to detail, compassion, and professionalism -every step of the way. She went above and beyond to protect me and my kids. I was a customer that had to rely on LA for representation, and I think person's true values come to light the most, when you see how they treat so-called charity cases". I feel extremely lucky and grateful that I got her to represent me during this terrible time. If you look for a family lawyer with integrity

Kathryn Smithen was a life saver. I felt so overwhelmed, caught off guard and confused by my husband walking out and asking for a divorce. Kathryn Smithen supported me in a kind and professional manner through the lengthily process of divorce. She laid all my options out and respectfully gave her opinion, and made me feel that she respected my decisions, even if they were not her opinion of what may be best. She is a strong advocate for women and took my case on pro-bono after my legal aid ran out. She caught things that I would not have noticed had changed in agreements and made me feel secure and calm when threats were made about pulling support and custody of my small child. Equality and equity were always at the top of her list with an emphasis on child welfare. I feel she had my child’s best interest in mind and I appreciate her support. High recommend Kathryn Smithen for family law cases to advocate for the child’s best interest, which led to my best interests too.I am so pleased with the outcome of the separation agreement, custody and settlement that Kathryn Smithen worked hard to put in to place for me.
