Professional, Personable, Practical

Amy Smith handled my DWI case perfectly and got every single one of my charges dropped. She clearly did her research and had plenty of information to use while in court, while also being a good person to be around. She could answer all of my questions and explain things to me in layman's perfectly we...ll so I never felt confused or lost. She respected all of my needs and represented me amazingly. I recommend her tenfold.

Extremely professional, compassionate, thorough and knowledgeable

When my son was arrested in July for DWI, we knew he would need good legal representation. We contacted two legal firms here in Asheville, and after speaking with Amy Smith from Minick Law, we immediately knew to look no further. Amy listened attentively and explained my son's options in terms we eas...ily understood. The following day, we received via email, detailed Action Plans for each of the possible outcomes. Throughout the process, we had many questions and Amy or her assistant, Stephanie always promptly answered us either through telephone or email. The professionalism, knowledge and compassion shown to us from the entire Minick Law Firm was excellent. My son knew exactly what to expect in court and what steps he needed to take prior to that date. In our opinion, Amy Smith was, without a doubt, the best legal representation for my son. She offered great advice, was very thorough and knowledgeable, extremely professional, understanding and supportive. We always felt that Amy was fighting for the best possible outcome for my son. When we left court, we had a feeling of relief. My son was given consequences for his actions, however they are fair and just. There is a slogan on Amy Smith's email which says " Helping Good People in Their Darkest Hour." My son's arrest was a dark hour for him and our family. Thanks to Amy Smith and the entire Minick Law Firm, he now sees light for his future. We highly recommend Amy Smith should you need legal representation.

Excellent, professional, and thorough!

Hiring Amy to represent me was a truly excellent choice. She was very thorough and diligent, communicative and easy to talk to, and very well prepared with the specifics involved in my case, all of which culminated in a successful outcome on my behalf. In short, Amy was outstanding, and I'd highly re...commend her to anyone looking for a great representation!

First timer

As someone who has never needed a lawyer in their life I was worried and confused about everything when I got a DUI. Amy listened to everything I had to say attentively and really engaged in the situation before I even hired her. After I did hire her she took no time to get everything she needed to s...et up another meeting to discuss what the game plan was in order to keep me from getting railroaded for making a mistake. I was worried about loosing my license and therefore loosing my job and Amy took me step by step through the process of getting a hardship license so I can go do what I need to for my family. I am greatly appreciative on how helpful and knowledgeable she was and though I hope to never need another lawyer in my life if I ever do she will be the first one I call.
