Professional & Great Patience

Mr. Smead is the first lawyer I had in my life and I have to say that I was very lucky to find him to take care of my case. I want to get my case handled to affect my life the least and also I really don't have that much money for the budget. Mr. Smead has being always show his profession and great p...atience and most portant thing is he is always there to answer your question. To me, an attorney you can trust, know how-to-do and think for your benefit and you be able to approach him when you have a question, that's exactly and all what I need. I hope I do not need an attorney in my life any more if I could but if I do need one I say Mr. Smead will be the one I will choose again.

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.
