Jonathan Smith review

Jonathan thoroughly went over the options and sometimes lack thereof for my DUI 2nd offense. Many court appearances were involved and he did not cancel any. His demeanor was reassuring that we would get the best we could. And had an excellent calming influence when I felt distraught. His closing stat...ement was well thought, truthful and his interaction with the court was pleasant and not adversarial.

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.
