Mr. Smith Truly Enjoys His Profession

I am a student and I had a phone consultation with Mr. Smith about an article I planned on publishing containing potentially defamatory material. Talking to Mr. Smith was like talking to a professor. He cared, he was curious about all the facts pertaining to my case, and he was able to rattle off any... potential legalities I needed to consider citing case history to illustrate his point. He also gave me key wording to incorporate into my article for protection. Mr. Smith had the patience to answer every single one of my questions, both hypothetical and real. I really appreciated his young and energetic attitude about law, something many seasoned attorneys like himself are simply lacking in today's world. To top it off, he spent more than the amount of time he was supposed to spend with me. I recommend Mr. Smith for the simple fact that in 30 minutes he showed me every characteristic I would want in an attorney - passion, attention to detail, and a protective caring nature. I will also add that his paralegals, Becky and Marci are kind and excited to share their experience with you as well.

Excellent Attorney....I would hire him again.

Chris Smith did an excellent job with a very difficult condominium termination case. As a result of his guidance I was able to maintain my excellent credit rating. He was very responsive...responding promptly to emails and phone calls. He answered every question and was very thorough in the guidan...ce that he provided. Most importantly, he was very kind during a very difficult time. While I hope to never again need an attorney, if I do, I will be hiring Chris and I would encourage others to do the same.

Client Review

We hired a bankruptcy lawyer in NJ. We were told based on our situation bankruptcy was not a solution and that the matter could not be settled for less than 125k for a debt of greater than 300k. Several attorneys we met also agreed with this assessment. As you can imagine, our situation looked very... ugly. Upon this news we decided to explore other options. As I mentioned, we met with several attorneys but none seem to offer viable creative solutions that Chris Smith ("Chris") from Smith Law provided. His resume (Harvard Grad- BA & Georgetown Law- JD, Consumer Board Certified, Successful Litigations, etc...) speaks for itself. Many attorneys have such resumes, but you ask what separates him from other intelligent attorneys. The answer is simple, none give you the personal care, comfort and support that Chris brings to the table and that is what sold us on him. To further highlight this situation, during talks with Chris we were served by a processor that filed a lawsuit in Florida to collect on a deficient. Our situation got even uglier with a 20 day notice to respond. If we did not respond a judgement would be granted against us. That evening that we were served our lives were turned upside down and there was only one lawyer, Chris Smith, that was readily available and provided us the support and comfort that we needed to get through that night. Not to mention Chris was on vacation with family but he found a way to be there for us during this trying time. Chris Smith was referred to us by a friend and he was the best investment I have ever made. Not only did he settle our case for pennies on the dollar (contrary to what other attorneys believed) but considering all the other different alternatives that we faced it was Chris that saved our family and kept us together. This was an ultimate game of chess with Chris ultimately checkmating the creditor within two to three moves. This was not a drawn out affair as we had originally expected. I can assure you from my experience that you will not find a better attorney!!

Just Call Them

I was apprehensive about filling a bankruptcy. Once I made the appointment, I was immediately put at ease. During my initial visit with Chris, he was very knowledgeable and reassured me that he could make it happen. Chris and everyone in his office was very helpful and got it done in record time. ... Every time I had a question they would immediately give me an answer. They were great. Now I am out from under that debt and stress free. I would highly recommend Chris, Marcy, and the whole staff.

Amazing lawyers!!

Marci and Christopher were the most courteous and respectful lawyers I have ever dealt with! I was so down on myself for having to file bankruptcy but they made me feel better by the way they treated me. They are the only lawyers I will ever use again!!! Thank you so much for everything you did for m...e!
