Great man!

I worked with him after I was fired from my job about a year ago, he kept me informed and was prompt in returning phone calls. He was very kind to me and explained what was happening throughout the process of talking to my former employer. (We settled the case for a large sum!)

"I have had the honor of working with Ed Smith in cases both as co-counsel and as opposing counsel. In both instances, Mr. Smith was collegiate, prepared and served his clients very well. Mr. Smith is well respected in the legal community, has a very realistic grasp on the practical legal and problems his clients face, and is able to provide his clients with straight-forward and effective legal advice. I have and continue to refer clients to Mr. Smith and look forward to working with him again in the future--whether on the same side of the table or as opposing counsel."

Avvo Rating

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.
