About Bart
Biography
Bart Smith is an injury litigation attorney who spent the first half of his career defending insurance companies and their insureds (policyholders). After years of learning the inner workings of the insurance industry, Bart decided to use his extensive knowledge of the insurance companies’ tactics to fight for the rights of injured victims so they would receive fair and just compensation for their injuries.
Bart has a business degree from Texas A&M University and a law degree from Oklahoma City University. If you want the 12th man fighting for you, Bart has the Aggie passion and bottom line approach to his injury cases. He is licensed by the Supreme Court of Texas and practices in all State and Federal Courts. Bart devotes 100% of his practice toward fighting for those who have been injured.
Bart grew up in Anna, Texas, where his parents still reside. He lives in McKinney, Texas, with his two dogs, Bugsy and Little Bit. When Bart is not fighting for his clients’ rights, he can usually be found giving a golf course the same fits he gives insurance adjusters and defense lawyers. Bart is also the Vice President for the Hurricane Creek Board of Directors, where he donates his time for the betterment of the community.
