Results speak for themselves!!

Thank you Mr. Smith for your help! This guy knows what he is doing and know everyone in the court by name and will get things done, i couldnt be more happy after some litigation i got my case dismissed and my name restored and at first the prosecution was firm but he was able to convince them to dism...iss my case! If you want someone who will actually get results you found him.

The Best

We had an unfortunate incident with the NYPD a couple of years ago, involving police misconduct, and Kenneth Smith represented us in both the resulting criminal cases and our civil case against the NYPD and the city. Kenneth's hard work and expertise resulted in total dismissal of the criminal charge...s we faced as well as a positive resolution of the civil case in our favor. He was compassionate and patient with us throughout, and offered us great advice. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Top notch

I tried an attempted murder of a police officer case with Mr. Smith and we obtained an acquittal on the top charge. He is an exceptional trial attorney, very bright and hard working. Top notch.
