Client Testimonials

Here at Smith & Johnson, we take pride in the relationships we have built with our clients as we’ve helped them through some of the best times and, unfortunately, some of the worst times in their lives. We are honored that they look to us for guidance and counsel and always strive to provide a level of service that not only meets, but exceeds their expectations. We don’t look for a pat on the back or an “at-a-boy” when we’ve delivered as promised, but we’d thought we’d share with prospective clients a few of the many we’ve received.

“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.'”
Brenda C.

“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.”

“Tim: I am very thankful to you for the venison [I made sure this client, who could no longer hunt, got some backstrap and steaks from my deer] and me and my mother wanted to get you something to show our thanks to you where that next year’s thing’s will be better and I am glad to have you not only for my lawyer but also a good friend.”

Your Friend, Freddie

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.

“Dear Tim, you are the most talented, balanced, personable, and compassionate man that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. This personal opinion was formed prior to any professional relationship with you.

Tim, you are the consumate personal and professional role model due to your selfless contributions toward others. It is especially rewarding for me to experience the results manifested from quality families such as yours. After 27 years of knowing your father and mother, my respect for the Smith Family continues to grow as a result of your kindness.”

“Thank you, for all your help and support. We would have never been able to accomplish what has transpired without you. Attorneys are not all easy to work with, you are not the norm. It has truly been an honor to share the battlefield with you, you have made it possible to get the results we are now celebrating. You never wavered with your advice and support. You kept us from making mistakes, you allowed me/us to spread our wings to get the desired finish. We have pushed the envelope and put the 12 and their Attorney in their place, as a Board utilizing a “Great Attorney”, FRIEND and MENTOR—THANK YOU!”

Wendell, It’s taken me 3 years, but as they say, better late than never. I called you 3 years ago around this time of the year with a personal problem you may or may not remember. You helped me out greatly! My life since then has changed wonderfully. Thanks again for your words of wisdom.

Dear Mr. H. Wendell Johnson. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for doing an excellent job in representing my interests in our recent court appearance. Your composure and professionalism were outstanding. I couldn’t have asked for anyone to do any better than you did. It appears you have chosen a career that can maximize your potential and abilities. You certainly can feel proud to be able to effectively represent a party and be instrumental in bringing justice to a bad situation. Again, Thank you!

Dear Wendell, the enclosed check more than covers your required fee, but because of your excellent performance and results in obtaining our insurance refund, the least we could do to show our appreciation is to express it in this manner.

It has been our pleasure to do business with you and we wish you the greatest success in the future.

Wendell, I’d like to personally thank you again for your excellent presentation of my case. Your ability and style impressed me from the very beginning.

Dear Wendell: We don’t have the words to express our thanks and gratitude for what you have done for our daughter. You were her anchor all through her stressful tribulations.

When she desperately needed someone in whom to put her trust – you were there.

Our family, as a whole, has few occasions for the need of a lawyer, as you know. But, we rest easy knowing you and Lou and your crew are there for us, “when and if”.

Bernie L.

Lou, I’m always assured someone is on duty when I call whether about corporate or personal matters. Think of it – we go back 35 years as attorney and client. Your sound advice whether in the area of corporate law, labor law, or contract negotiations has helped make our company what it is today.

Page has been the best part of my accident that almost took my life. He is open and honest with me about the legal process in dealing with my injuries from my accident. His follow through has been stellar and never once has he let me down. Page is approachable at almost all times. I’ve contacted him on the weekends, holidays and even when he has been on vacation. He has always taken the time for me. After six years of legal care, I consider Page a great attorney but more importantly to me, a good friend. I would recommend Page to anyone I know.
