Highly Recommended for Speeding Tickets

I hired Ryan to help me with a traffic violation I received a couple months ago. I was very impressed with kindness, understanding, and promptness he had. I will definitely recommend him to anyone!

Great Attorney

Mr. Smith did a great job in my case. I had gotten an underage drinking ticket in Mecklenburg county and he was able to get it dismissed quickly and effectively. He even helped me find courses that I could take in Raleigh instead of Charlotte because I am in college and couldn't go home to take the c...lasses. I highly recommend Mr. Smith.

Responsive and delivered result

I cannot thank Ryan (and Ashley) enough, they understood my concerns and resolved my case very quickly. They understood that having a legal matter hanging over me was stressful and totally impressed me with their ability to get it resolved quickly. Even more importantly they got a very favorable reso...lution. Great people to work with. Thank you.

I will never use another attorney again!

I was slapped with a speeding ticket for going 22 mph over the limit, and was worried to say the least. Ryan Smith talked to me personally to ease my anxiety and talk me through the options I had. The day after I paid the attorney fee, he informed me that he was able to take care of the charge and no... points were to be added to my license. I was thoroughly impressed with the prompt, and efficiency services provided by the firm and would highly recommend Mr. Smith to my family, friends, or anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney in Charlotte.

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.
