He did a great job as my attorney. He made the process quick and easy with great results

He was able to reduce my speeding ticket from 45 over to 9 over, without a suspension or revocation of my license. He left my record completely clean as if nothing ever happened. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Was willing to 'travel'

Mr. Smith was able to help me a few counties away when I was traveling for a wedding and received a citation. I was able to go to work and he did all the leg work on my behalf. He told me what he could do before we began and gave me updates during the whole process. I hope I don't need his help of...ten but I know who to call in case anything does arise. I've referred him to a few family members as well.

Best In Class

EXCELLENT! I was visiting a friend who had back surgery in Matthews, NC and was pulled over by a state trooper stating that I was doing 87 in a 70 when I was not. I was advised that I had a mandatory court appearance even though I am a Delaware resident. This happened on a Thursday night. I calle...d Friday morning and spoke with Ashley who was very professional and helpful in providing me information. I was advised that Mr. Smith was going to handle this for me the same day in in court and I didn't even have to attend. I got a phone call at 3:46 pm the same day telling me that everything was resolved and that I would not have any points, record, or impact on my insurance due to Mr. Smith getting it dropped to an Improper Equipment. A HUGE weight was lifted off my shoulders as my job requires me to travel and if this had gone further, I could have lost my licence and my job. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Ryan Smith - Exceeding Exceptions with a Cool Demeanor

I was referred to Ryan Smith from a friend regarding a DUI charge in 2014. I did phone consultations with 5 of the most respected DUI lawyers in the Charlotte / Mecklenburg area with Ryan being my 5th call. The first 4 calls I made to other attorneys left me feeling like they wanted my money to sig...n a retainer and get me off the phone as quick as possible, whether that meant telling me what I wanted to hear or just being short. As soon as I got on the phone with Ryan he asked about my background, and a FULL description of what happened that night. I could tell Ryan was taking very detailed notes and picking my brain for angles of the case while they were still fresh on my mind. I got the feeling that Ryan was beginning to formulate my defense while I was on my free phone consultation; very impressive. Ryan spent over an hour on the phone with me without asking for a commitment or pressuring me to sign anything. This kind of relaxed and professional communication was what Ryan provided throughout the entire process (11 months). Ryan consistently communicated with me every step of the way to ensure I understood what was going on, how it could impact me and our case, and what our plan was moving forward. Ryan made me feel like I was his only client and top priority, but I know this wasn't the case as he had many clients he was handling at the same time, I assume with the same focus and attention he devoted to me. In the end, Ryan got my case dismissed and also got a NCDMV refusal suspension dismissed as well. Hands down, the best result that could have occurred. "Like it never even happened." I have nothing but praises to speak about Ryan Smith, his relaxed but professional attitude, and legal knowledge that resulted in the dismissal of my charges.

Great Experience

Ryan did a great job at helping me and my husband resolve out case. He was supportive and trustworthy. He kept me informed every little step of the way. He was always there to answer any questions I had. He was very dependable. This was really a great experience!
