Posted by Mark | January 10, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Trip and fall in Queens

I highly recommend Dennis Smith to anyone for any type of accident. I had a trip and fall in Queens, and he came to me personally, to my home to discuss my case. He is very thorough, investigating every detail about the incident, and kept me informed about what he was doing at every step in the proce...ss. Working with him was a great experience!

Posted by albert | November 04, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

I highly recommend Dennis Smith.

Dennis Smith is the only lawyer firm that would step in and help me. While every other lawyer firm told me that my case would not work out. Dennis made it possible and won that case! I was injured during my job and he helped me win the case.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
