5 /5 Shannon Miller: I have referred several cases over to Avera & Smith over the years-- some of the cases were complicated trust litigation matters, exploitation recovery matters, medical malpractice, and several car accident cases. In every single case, we had successful outcomes for our referred clients. In a recent case, we sent a client who had traumatic injuries-- the attorneys took excellent care of my clients—kept them informed, treated them with compassion, and ultimately secured a maximum settlement. Throughout the case, their communication with me was clear, timely, and professional. I always knew where things stood, and that level of transparency made a huge difference. On top of that, they honored a strong referral fee. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer to them again.
