Smulders Law Office, PLLC

Valerie is very rude and condescending. Also very unprofessional as well. Do not recommend whatsoever. Regardless whether Im an opposing party or not. Doesnt change the fact that she is rude and unprofessional. Theres absolutely no reason to be rude to someone when theyre polite to you. She talked over me the entire time and got argumentative when I repeated what I was attempting to say everytime she interrupted me.

I would highly recommend Valarie Smulders Law to anyone who is looking for a lawyer her knows her stuff. She is highly knowledgeable and she is fair. She is a busy woman but as said in other reviews, its because she is busy doing her job. Valarie not only communicated well with me she also listened to understand how I was feeling about matter at hand. She did not over charge and she saved me money. I can't thank her enough for all she did for me. She did an awesome job..

Valerie has always been professional and timely with us. I used her services in 2016 and would recommend her over and over again.

I had two cases that I was hiring Valorie for. Once I paid the $1500 retainer for the first case I began making payments on the second retainer. She was aware of the court dates of the first case weeks in advance. The day of court, she calls me about an hour before and says she wasnt going to be able to make it and shed have a colleague (unrelated to her practice and completely in the dark on my case and the specifics) represent me. I asked if I needed to bring anything. She said no. When I arrived I was ordered to a drug test, which I completed. However, when a prescription I take for my epilepsy showed up, I didnt have the bottle and my lawyer wasnt there to explain my situation and diagnosis. I ended up doing 38 days in jail on a false positive drug screen. Valorie did little to nothing to get me out, seldom took my calls and was outright rude to my friends and family that attempted to contact her. I caught her lying to me which was the last straw. I fired Valorie and asked her to refund the money I had began paying her for the second case that she never ended up representing me on nor did we ever have a signed contract for. In fact, the only conversations we had regarding that case were her saying she wasn't available for the court date and therefore could not represent me. She refused to refund any of the nearly $2000 I paid her. The financial and legal consequences of hiring Smulders will forever haunt me. Ive been encouraged by other attorneys to file a malpractice suit against her.
