I had an accident that was not my fault in which I had injuries and my car was totaled. The driver-at-fault’s insurance was terrible (cut rate insurance company) that upon researching them online I found that they have a history of fighting all claims. They refused all responsibillity. I am a single working parent and the expenses and loss of a vehicle put me in a serious financial bind. Ruth Smith took my case when others wouldnt. She fought hard with the shady insurance company who had numerous stalling tactics to delay resolution and avoid responsibility. She and her staff were professional, thorough, and persistent all through the process. The end result is a settlement in my favor, for much more than I hoped to recoup. Very grateful to Ruth Smith and her staff and would recommend to everyone.
had a car wreck last year, it wasn't too serious, but I wanted my bills paid. The insurance company was being a jerk, wouldn't pay for anything. Ruth got them for me. Tough little lady, would use again.
I have been representing injured and disabled people in Western North Carolina since 1999. Injuries are personal, and they deserve an attorney who can provide personal service. You will not be assigned a number and passed to a legal assistant. You will know what is going on with your case at all times. You will be able to speak with your attorney in person when you want. You will be treated as a person, not a paycheck.
I've built my practice from referrals from clients and other attorneys. Therefore, I must provide excellent service, and I pride myself in combining sharp legal skills with compassionate service.
This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
