This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The best

In 2004, I was charged with Aggravated Assault after I fought off an attacker at a public pool. I was charged with such a harsh crime because I'm a professional fighter. I was originally seated with a public defender who did NOT care about what the truth was. After nearly 3 years of back and forth pr...eliminary hearings, and postponements, in 2007, I asked for a different lawyer. They gave me Mr. Smith, and then gave him only ONE month to prepare for a case that the prosecutor had nearly 3 years to build against me. We went to jury trial. I had 5 witnesses against me, and only myself as a defense. The jury was comprised of 11 white people, and only ONE black woman (I am a black man, the "victim" was a white man). To say the least, I was terrified. After only 45 minutes of deliberation, which is usually a bad sign, they came back with a verdict of NOT guilty because it was deemed as self defense. Due to Mr. Smith's ability to fully ensconce himself into my case with such a short notice, listen to me as the client, and his skills cross examining several witnesses who were lying, I am a free man today...the most incredible part is he was acting as a public defender for me at the time, which are notorious for NOT caring because they're not getting full pay. I would more than recommend Mr. Smith to anyone facing any court case.

civil, criminal, accidents, divorce, and great advice

We have used Mr.Smith in many different types of cases. He is very honest to the point. Keeps you informed at all times. This is a great man, you can call him 24/ 7. I love his out right honesty blunt and to the point. Great in the court room, has very fare prices. One of the best lawyers we've ever ...used. We will continue to use him as long as he will have us.GREATEST.
