Antwaun was quick and did a great job of answering my question. He was thorough and knowledgeable on Missouri contract law as it related to W2 versus Independent Contractors.

In October of 2013, I was in a car accident. It was not my fault, the lady turned left into on coming traffic on a yield light. I first hired Corbett Law Firm. After many struggles with them and fighting them to do anything for 2 years, I found out that I was going to trial. I was scared at this poin...

Antwaun was very up front and honest with me about my case and the possible outcomes. He was not just trying to make a buck. He went above and beyond, even as far as sending me newspaper articles and research papers that dealt with the facts of my case. He called me anytime he had questions in orde...

I worked with Antwaun Smith on a trucking case in Missouri and he was very professional, knowledgeable and reliable. I highly endorse Mr. Smith and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an 18 Wheeler accident attorney.
"I had the pleasure of working with Antwaun on a complex insurance case and was impressed with his legal abilities. He obtained a great result for his client. He is a smart, caring attorney, and I endorse him."
"Antwaun is a thoughtful and effective advoate. It is rare for an attorney to be able to show his compassion to clients and their families by understanding their unique challenges and explaining the legal system. At the same time, he is a brilliant litigator and a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom."
"Mr. Smith is a fantastic lawyer and person. He is smart, thorough and reliable. He goes the extra mile for his clients. He is also warm, kind and caring. I have the utmost confidence in him as a professional and as a person."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have conferred with Antwaun on numerous occasions about personal injury cases and find him to be a very knowledgeable and informed attorney. I have practiced over 40 years, but appreciate his prospectives."
"Antwaun was always the smartest guy in the room in law school, and I was so pleased to see him open his own practice representing regular people. A person couldn't hope to have a smarter, harder-working or more ethical attorney than Antwaun Smith."
"I worked with Antwaun on a complex insurance case. The case involved difficult legal questions of contract interpretation, statutes of limitations, and categories of damages. And it had some facts that were not so great for Antwaun's client. The insurance lawyers filed motion after motion, trying to get rid of the case. Antwaun won every one. Finally - days before trial - the insurance company caved and settled for quite a large number. Antwaun never backed down. His tenacity made for a very satisfied client."
