I've worked with my fair share of lawyers and they are usually disorganized, slow to respond, and nickel and dime you for every word you want changed.

Answer a few standard questions, chat about your impending death, and whammo! You've got yourself a legally binding will, power of attorney, health care advance directive, etc. Betsy also told us everything about death we wouldn't have even known to ask. Plus, she and her husband even come to *your* house for a signing party so you get the documents right away. It wasn't cheap, but check to see if your company has a legal plan (ours paid for almost everything!). But it was thorough, painless, and quick. Just like I hope that impending death of mine will be. (FYI: Betsy knows all the good ways to dispose of your body: cremation, burial at sea, composting, being turned into a tree ...)

He guided me through the process very thoroughly and I am very grateful. I was dreading how to prepare my documents and he made it all easy and effortless. He provided a link where I can upload all required documents and then he compiled it and prepared it all for me. Attorney Symmes communicates effectively and the best thing I am very surprised with and very grateful for, is the fact that he communicates with me even after business hours. If there is any questions I need to ask or any documents I need to provide for follow up, he communicates with me even if it is a Friday Night or a Weekend it does not matter because he replies and answers my questions. That is the high caliber that you want by your side for an Attorney that represents you. One that is very active in communication and not bounded by business hours. The value of the service you get from him is more than exceptional and I am very grateful!!! -Angel C.

As the daughter-in-law involved in this transaction, I can honestly say hiring Lee was one of the…read morebest decisions our family made. I was actually the one who found Lee after searching through countless attorneys on Google and Yelp. I spent a lot of time reviewing profiles, reading feedback, and carefully comparing options because we knew this was not going to be a straightforward sale. We wanted to make absolutely sure everything was secure and that our family's interests were fully protected -- especially since this was a private sale and we were heavily involved in helping manage the entire transaction. This was not a simple situation. My husband and I were renting the home, the landlord decided to sell, and my parents-in-law -- who live in Southern California -- stepped in to purchase it so we could remain in the property. The home includes a detached ADU on a single parcel, which added additional complexity. The seller was difficult and often unpredictable -- the type who believed he knew more than everyone else and frequently changed positions. Lee navigated that dynamic with steady professionalism and quiet confidence. He protected our interests without escalating matters unnecessarily and stayed focused on ensuring everything was handled correctly. My father-in-law is extremely meticulous and reviews every document line by line -- sometimes multiple times over (a bit too much at times). Lee was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. Even when we went over documents ten times, he remained calm, thorough, and respectful. That level of patience meant a great deal to me personally. He carefully reviewed the PSA, disclosures, and escrow documents and was in full communication with the escrow company throughout the transaction to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks. Knowing he was overseeing and coordinating every detail behind the scenes gave us tremendous peace of mind. What stood out most was how personal it felt. He wasn't just processing paperwork -- he genuinely cared about protecting our family. It truly felt like he was looking out for us the way a trusted advisor would. If you are looking for an attorney who genuinely has your best interests at heart, do not hesitate to call Lee. We will absolutely go to him again without hesitation for any future real estate needs. Thank you Lee for everything!

Thanks Lee!

We went to Byrd Garret for a pre-nuptual agreement and an update on my estate plan, which Mr. Byrd…read morehad done in 2006, and on my and my husband-to-be's wills. Mr. Garret (who took over the business from Mr. Byrd) was friendly, encouraging, and efficient. He answered all our questions and then took us through the papers very carefully when they were ready. His support staff is also very freindly and supportive. What I appreciated the most was that the language of the agreement was not so much legalese, but contained phrases such as "commitment to good faith and fair dealing," and "in the highly unlikely event that their marriage ends before death..." In other words, the whole tone of the documents produced was as full of optimism and honesty as it was of legal limits and protections. We felt good about taking care of business before the wedding, and now that we've been married for over a year, we still feel good about it. Estate planning, wills, and pre-nuptual agreements are not inexpensive, but they are important, and we feel lucky to have found a firm that approaches these matters from a position of optimisms and confidence rather than suspicion. We would recommend this firm to anyone who needs estate planning and pre-nuptual agreements.

I believe this was one of the most difficult cases the industry has seen. Without Janet, we would not know where my brother is today.

My brother who saved a million dollars for his retirement is now reduced to go on State pay medical. Due to his wife gambling ALL the money away. It is important that you have the right representation for your case. Know the RCW Laws for the vulnerable adults and that spouses have a fiduciary duty to their spouse. We are grateful to Janet Smith. Without her help, we would be lost and sad and no know where our brother is. Thank you, Janet. You are our saving grace.
