I give Attorney Smith my enthusiastic endorsement. I have met former clients of his with immigration concerns due to criminal arrests. All are impressed by both his skill as a lawyer and his character. When you or a loved one faces criminal charges an attorney should not be viewed as an unwanted expense. It is an investment in the rest of your life. Criminal convictions carry consequences - from the loss of a license to ineligibility for student loans to deportation. You need an attorney who will take the time to understand who you are, what is important to you, how your arrest can impact the rest of your life, and counsel you accordingly. Attorney Smith will do that while fighting tirelessly for the best possible outcome in court.
