Christina Smith

Compassionate and Strategic Guidance Through a Difficult Divorce

I engaged Christina Smith at Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson to assist with my divorce, which involved complex asset division and a desire for an amicable co-parenting framework. From our initial consultation in her Seattle office, Christina demonstrated a nuanced understanding of both the legal and emotional landscapes of family law. Her background in mediation was particularly valuable; she skillfully facilitated several productive discussions with my ex-spouse's counsel, which kept us out of a protracted court battle and saved significant emotional distress. While her recognition by Best Lawyers in Family Law Mediation is clearly well-deserved, what impressed me most was her practical approach—she translated her deep knowledge from the University of Washington into actionable, clear advice. The process was thorough, and I always felt my interests were protected. If I had one note, it would be that during particularly busy periods, response times to non-urgent emails could stretch to a couple of days, but her team was always courteous in providing updates. Overall, Christina provided exceptional counsel during a challenging time. Her strategic yet empathetic guidance was exactly what I needed, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone navigating family law matters in the Pacific Northwest.
