The Best Lawyer

This is not the first time I had the opportunity to have Mr. Smith Johnson once again represent me and win even after other good lawyers told me it would not be possible to get a positive result on my case. He will fight for you and get results even in the most impossible situations. That to me is wh...at makes the difference between a good lawyer and a great lawyer. Mr. Smith Johnson I cannot ever thank you enough. You are great. Because of you I'm now home with my kids and wife, to be able to protect, provide, and spend my time with them instead of locked away. We appreciate you so much. Your knowledge of law, how you problem solve with that i can do it confidence while delivering positive results is truly amazing. Thank you.

Alex is very knowledgeable and concise. I needed legal consultation for a warrant that I was unaware about and he provided swift action and advice! 10/10!

Impossible Case !! So we thought....

When I was searching for an attorney for my husband I must of spoke with 4 different ones. Alex Smith-Johnson was the only one that pointed out a very specific and important word from the charges that non of the others did. And he also explained to me just how serious Florida takes that specific cha...rge. That's when I knew who we were gonna hire. Alex jumped right on the case and started filing motions etc.. He kept me updated on everything that was happening. And trust me when I say I was horrible sometimes to deal with, but he understood how badly I wanted my husband back home and was always still polite and respectful no matter what. If it wasn't for Alex, I probably wouldn't be seeing my husband (if the state got its way) in person till 2021/2022. But now I get him back home in 6 days. Sept 8th 2020.. So Alex if we ever need another criminal attorney, you will be the first and only one we'll call !! And yes I would recommend you to any and all of our friends and family that may ask us if we know any great attorney !!! I cant thank you enough for the fast and excellent job you did with resolving his case !!! The end result was unbelievable. The 5 star rating that they offer isn't even close to what you deserve !!! So again thank you from the bottom of my heart so much for doing your job !!

Best Legal Experience

Alex represents clients as if they were friends and fights to get the results you’re after. He has been the most informed, most prepared attorney I have dealt with. I would rehire Alex without a second thought and confidently recommend him to others.

"Mr. Smith-Johnson embodies what I refer to as a "young gun". He has been practicing law for 6 years but is wise well-beyond. Over and over he and I cross-answer a diverse variety of criminal defense questions on all sorts of topics and whenever I follow Mr. Smith-Johnson I wind up struggling to secure additional relevant information which he has not already sagely advised in his answer. I'm entering my 30th year as a criminal defense lawyer and approaching my 34,000th AVVO question answered and, looking back, I wish I had been even half as wise as Mr. Smith-Johnson when I was only 6 years into this profession. I am impressed enough to recommend him to anyone in or around the 407 who finds oneself in a situation involving cops, courts and constitutions. Based upon his contribution so far it is apparent to me that Mr. Smith-Johnson has a great career ahead. I earnestly and wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. Respectfully submitted, MAH/Esq."
