Raquel Melody Smith

I was on the verge of what I thought to be a lengthy license suspension, years of probation, and jail time due to a night of bad decisions. I came across Raquel’s firm after hours of looking for an attorney to represent me and that was probably the best call I ever made in my life. She was highly f...lexible about our free consultation and was able to meet on a Mother’s Day Sunday morning in which she was very down to earth about the situation and the potential outcomes for my case. The date of our MVA hearing, I accidentally went to the wrong location and she assured me everything would be fine. I had already created an Uber budget based on the MVA horror stories I’ve heard, but was able to walk out being able to drive again. The day of trial, Raquel was very positive even though we were dealing with a judge that was known to give unfavorable rulings for my type of case. Even though Raquel was juggling multiple trials that morning, she was always being very proactive during pretrial and I never once felt uneasy about the proceeding. During the trial, Raquel showed extreme confidence when presenting my case. She even provided specificity about a particular, yet important detail in the law that may have forced the judge to commit to an unfavorable sentence. In the end, I walked out with no jailtime, no probabtion, and only a small fine. I would highly recommend Raquel if you are in need of serious legal and affordable legal counsel.

Thank you for providing urgently needed legal services in a time frame of only a day prior to a peace order hearing where i was the respondent. She got to the facts of my case in an incisive and orderly manner and determined without deliberation how to present my case in the hearing the next day. ... She stayed in constant communication with minimizing my stress with my potential case outcome. She stayed in constant communication with me throughout the process which minimized my stress associated with my potential case outcome. From beginning to end Raquel was extremely knowledgeable in the law. Raquel answered all of my questions and was always available when I needed her. She managed to get a potentially Final Peace Order ruling dismissed through negotiations prior to this hearing with plaintiff's attorney, thus obviating potential inflammatory, embarrassing emotional testimony by the plaintiff at the hearing, thus saving face for us both. I highly recommend her for counsel.

How to describe Raquel at how well she does at her job; she's persistent, effienct, trustworthy and very helpful. This was my first experience with having to pay fees for a couple speeding tickets and she just does an outstanding job with keeping up with trial dates, emails, text messages to remind y...ou that you have an appointment the next day, the whole nine yards! She's absolutely lovely and knows what she's doing! I'm very pleased with my first experience, thank you very much!

We hired Raquel Smith to represent our son on a traffic violation. Ms. Smith was knowledgable, professional, available and responsive. She understood that this was a big deal for us, and was also caring and attentive. Most importantly, when we got to court, she nailed it. We received a judgment of ...acquittal based on Ms. Smith's objections in the first minutes of the trial. She was awesome and we are very grateful. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
