Biography
Chris Smith is a trial lawyer who represents people injured by the negligence of others. He learned at an early age that skilled representation in the courtroom is the difference in achieving justice for individuals and families harmed by careless drivers, medical mistakes, construction accidents, dangerous products, insurance bad faith, and other wrongful acts.
Chris has spent his entire legal career in Southeast Texas pursuing justice for those injured or killed by the negligence or misconduct of others. Chris strives to ensure that victims can obtain justice through the legal system, even when taking on the most powerful interests. He believes in safeguarding victim's rights, the right to trial by jury, and protecting the civil justice system in America.
Chris Smith is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a designation achieved by only 2% of attorneys in Texas. He is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates, the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates (life member), Texas Trial Lawyers Association, American Association for Justice, College of the State Bar of Texas, and has been named as a Super Lawyers Rising Star three times by Texas Monthly.
