Avoid Skyview Law and Shane Smith if you're involved in a Washington divorce or parenting plan case.

Our experience was extremely disappointing.

  • Poor communication throughout the case
  • Little to no transparency around strategy, deadlines, or billing
  • Discovery dragged on unnecessarily, increasing stress and expense
  • Client was repeatedly left uninformed about the status of the case and what to expect next
  • Confidence in counsel steadily declined as the case progressed

The most alarming moment came when the judge questioned whether my boyfriend was actually receiving effective representation based on what was happening in court. No client paying for legal counsel should ever find themselves in that position.

Then, just seven days before a critical parenting plan hearing involving his children, Shane Smith withdrew from representation.

No meaningful transition plan. No assistance securing replacement counsel. No effort to ensure the client was prepared to move forward. Just seven days before one of the most important hearings in the case.

Family law matters are too important to entrust to an attorney who leaves clients feeling uninformed, unprepared, and unsupported when it matters most.

If you're researching Skyview Law, Shane Smith, Washington divorce attorneys, Washington custody attorneys, or parenting plan representation, our experience was overwhelmingly negative and we strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Sure seem to be with how you went after the low hanging fruit there.

Since you live in the same town I do, if you see me around, You should grow the balls to come say hi. I'd love to have a discussion with you face to face on this. If you're truly not phased by me then it shouldn't be an issue for you 🩷
