Ian Smith handled our case with confidence and thoroughness. He was always available and provided immediate responses to our questions. Would always want Ian on our side and not against us. There were a lot of factors in this case and he handled all with ease. The end result of the case was certa...inly in our favor.

HOA - Civic Association Real Estate Law

Attorney Ian Smith has successfully handled a matter for our subdivision civic association of almost 400 homes since 2011 and recently won a significant decision. His attention to detail and meeting deadlines over a long battle with various twists and turns was simply the product of hard work, attent...ion to the letter of the law and not being distracted by frivolous distractions along the way. I would highly recommend his services for any matter whether it be real estate related or other. He is client oriented but does not hesitate to advise if the client is legally wrong in his/her approach to the matter at hand. A bright young lawyer who has a good future in the practice of law.

Attorney Ian Smith

Attorney Ian Smith did an excellent job handling a lawsuit filed by one of our employees. He was easy to work with, hard-working, professional and always kept us updated on the status of the case.

Posted by anonymous | February 14, 2013 | Discrimination

Very Responsive

On two different occasions Ian successfully represented our company against discrimination charges brought by long-term employees whose contracts were not renewed. In a timely manner, Ian prepared himself to understand the uniqueness of our organization. He was always accessible and responsive to t...he needs of those who had never experienced the process of having federal charges filed against them. Ian's communication style with employees, as he prepared them for depositions was greatly appreciated. I hope we can work together again.
