Nicholas Grant Smith's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Nicholas
Michael S. Waddington headshot
Michael Waddington

Military law lawyer | Feb 24

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Nicholas and I defended a Navy sailor in a criminal trial at Naval Station Norfolk in Feb 2016. We had an uphill fight. After intense preparation and investigations, we spotted Brady (discovery) violations and other misconduct by the prosecution. We went on the offensive and exposed more violations. We asked the Judge to dismiss the case. We were initially denied. After two days of intense arguments and cross examinations, Nicholas convinced the Judge to dismiss all of the charges with prejudice. He's a badass lawyer and a cool guy that fights to the end for his clients."

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.
