Client

Attorney Ryan Smith has been an awesome lawyer! I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer who was very knowledgeable and experienced in helping me settle my insurance claim case. The insurance company failed to pay me for funds that were rightfully mine that they kept denying to pay. He saw to it that they... paid me back the money owed and he was very supportive in this process. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney that made himself available to answer all questions and concerns that I had. His responsiveness to getting back to me has been very professional and really made me feel that he was passionate in caring about the handling of my 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.
