Exceptionally Competent

I will highly recommend Seth R. Smith to my colleagues, friends and family. I was facing an atrocious set of driving charges. He and his legal assistant Gabriella are very proactive and professional. They walked me through the process in a way that won my confidence and was reassuring. He was able to... negotiate a set of charges to a single minor misdemeanor traffic offense. If you are facing traffic violations that are onerous or if you have an OVI charge, I would call him immediately.

Not confidential

I got a criminal charge and my family knew nothing about it. But then Seth’s office mailed me an advertising POSTCARD that said “I saw your case on the docket.” Would’ve been fine in an envelope but a POSTCARD!

Excellent Attorney

I've known Seth for many years and I would highly recommend him to anyone I know! He is kind, thoughtful, and well-versed in the law. If you need a criminal or domestic attorney, hire Seth! You will be glad you did.

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.
