Derek Keith Smith

After being recommended by a family member, I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Smith's CV from his law firm website. I was encouraged by his wealth of experience, both as a lawyer and a judge. He was very personable and easy to converse with, while maintaining focus on the key points of the case. ... As my case had several delays for certain reasons such as the COVID breakout, Derek kept me apprised of everything going on with the proceedings. I was provided with all documentation regarding my case including evidence from the incident and court filings. He found several ways of approaching the case, while ending up with the best possible option for my situation. Additionally, the partners at his firm that he is able to confer with can offer their own expertise which he was able to share with me to explain their thoughts and reasoning. The outcome of my case was better than I could ever have expected, but even if that were not the case I am confident I had the best representation possible. I whole heartedly recommend Derek for anyone considering him for their counsel. He is an excellent attorney.

Our family needed legal representation. Other than having our Last Will and Testaments prepared by an attorney, we had zero experience in dealing with the legal system. In selecting an attorney, we wanted someone who had a firm grasp of the law and legal system with extensive experience in the cour...troom. Knowing Derek had experience as former Circuit Court Judge and Chancellor and that he had worked in the District Attorney’s office was important to us. During our initial meeting with Derek, we discussed various possible outcomes of our case and attorney fees. He gave us realistic expectations of what to expect throughout the legal process. With his level of expertise and experience, we were expecting our legal fees to be more. There were no unexpected or hidden fees throughout the process. We paid a set fee and always felt free to contact him. We felt very fortunate with the outcome of our case. We have no hesitation in recommending Derek Smith as an attorney.
