Traver Clinton Smith Jr

"Clint" Smith is an honored member of ABOTA (American Board of Trial Advocates), a nationwide invitation-only organization of trial attorneys for both Plaintiffs and Defendants (not for law firms). ABOTA's members are required to have significant experience as lead attorney trying a large number of cases to jury verdict. ABOTA subjects each prospective and current member to a scrupulous, intense, almost year-long local and national vetting process before finalizing the invitation to join. A high premium is placed upon a prospective member's reputation for collegiality and effectiveness in working with his or her opponents in jury trials. ABOTA membership is conditioned on an attorney's nationwide reputation among other attorneys for professional excellence and it includes the top Plaintiff and Defense Trial Lawyers in the country. ABOTA membership is awarded to individuals only, not to law firms.

This rating is awarded to individuals only and not to law firms.
