Ross Smith is a class act. Always professional, Ross is aggressive without being abrasive. His years of experience keep him cool under pressure. He knows the courts, the judges and the prosecutors. He gets results. When you have Ross in the courtroom, you can be confident you are getting sound legal advice and excellent representation. I strongly recommend him.
