Tarlesha Smith, Knowledgeable and Caring

Mrs. Smith assisted our family with our sons case. Helping us navigate the legal and jail system and intelligently advised us through the process of his release, and now his record is actually cleared, giving him another chance at succeeding in life in spite of a bad decision. We are grateful.

Homeownership Dilemma

I had the unfortunate experience in April of 2017 that subsequently left me fighting for everything I worked for in my entire career. I was recommended to Attorney Smith by a friend who felt she could assist me with my situation. Not only was Mrs. Smith knowledgeable, professional and empathetic to m...y situation, she offered excellent legal advice which subsequently led me to hire her for her services. Mrs. Smith is assisted by her colleague, Mr. Curtis Jones, and with this team I felt at ease and comfortable with the decision that I made. They made this tumultuous situation easier to deal with and with that I strongly recommend there services to anyone needing legal assistance.

Highly Satisfied

I was referred to Mrs. Smith because of her expertise in the area of Labor Law, specifically as it relates to policies and procedures for employees of Miami-Dade County. Upon the first meeting with Mrs. Smith, she made me feel at ease, she made me feel that my circumstances were now her circumstance...s and of value to her. Mrs. Smith is not only well versed and knowledgeable about her specific area of law, but also has the ability to understand the total impact of the situation not only on the client but the client’s family as well. She has been exemplary and relentless in her pursuit to resolve my issue and has exceeded all of my expectations.

A CLOSE CALL

I encounter an issue with my business that needed the attention of an attorney ASAP!! I called Ms. Smith on a short notice and do to no surprise Mrs. Smith handled the matter swiftly, responsible and professionally. She is knowledgeable in all area's of the law. I would use Mrs. Smith's firm servi...ces again. Thank you for defending my case...And Yes we WON.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
