My case was dismissed and expunged, keeling my record
Attorney James Smith did a great job and was able to get my case dismissed and expunged, keeling my record clean. Highly Recommended!! Thank You.

Best of the best
Attorney James Smith did an excellent job representing me. He was able to not only defend my case, but help me after the trial was over as well. I would highly suggest to recommend him to several friends/family.
Anthony's case was dismissed during the first pre trial conference and we are now in the process to expunge his charge thereby keeping his clean criminal record.

Very Good! Awsome Lawyer
I contacted james on a holiday about my problem and he got back to me within an hour. Before my case was even close to my court date he helped me get a deal and the charge was not even put onto my record. If you are looking for help James E Smith is the person to go to!

smith review
From the first meeting I had with Jim I knew I made the right choice. He is very good at informing you to the facts without talking above you. He is just a down to earth guy. He is knowledgeable of the law. He is very accessible professional and always there to handle your questions.
"Devoted, dedicated, and tough. This man is a professional from one end of the courtroom to the other. I endorse him and expect nothing but the best from him, because I know that is what he delivers."
"I have watched Jim win a "NOT GUILTY" verdict for his client, who was accused of illegally possessing a firearm. Jim's strategy in that case was brilliant and it paid off. I have also watched Jim negotiate a resolution in an arson case that kept his client out of jail. If you want a lawyer who can do it all- negotiations or a trial- James Smith is the one to call."
"Arrested? Indicted? Under investigation? Stop talking to your friends and the police and call Jim ASAP. He was a tough Marine; he is a tougher criminal defense lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. James Smith is tough, aggressive, hard nosed and cares about his clients."
"Jimmy is a talented, intelligent, hard-working, dedicated criminal defense attorney, who I am honored to call a colleague and friend. He does everything within his power to get the best results possible for his clients, and does so in a professional, respectable manner. We have worked together in the past to combine our resources for the better of our clients, and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I would gladly recommend Attorney James Smith for criminal defense in Rhode Island."
"I proudly endorse Jim Smith. I met and worked with him extensively on jury trial training in Macon, GA for 2 straight weeks. His legal acumen and insight is second to none. His communication skills are outstanding and his "warrior ethos" in the courtroom is a constant reminder of him being a fellow Marine. Outstanding lawyer. I would highly recommend him if I had a friend in need of top-notch legal defense in Rhode Island."
"I endorse this lawyer. He works hard for his clients and immerses himself in the law. He is diligent and dedicated to protecting his clients' interests."
"Attorney Jim Smith and I have been co-counsel on numerous cases together and he has always impressed me with his passion and dedication. Attorney Smith will go to battle for his clients!"
"I endorse this lawyer. James is a highly skilled Rhode Island Criminal Defense Lawyer. He is a respected member of the criminal defense community who I recommend without hesitation for any Rhode Island criminal charges."
