Deborah Alley Smith

 I am an appellate lawyer with 25+ years of experience handling appeals in state and federal appellate courts, as well post judgment proceedings and critical motions. I serve as the head of Christian & Small's Appellate, Post-Verdict and Briefing practice group and as the managing partner of the Firm. I am a nonstop advocate for my clients, for my community and for my colleagues.
