Tye S Smith

Tye was a partner along with Eric Slepian when I had my case accepted by their firm. My experience with Tye was less than great. I found him to be very terse and when I was on the phone with him, he gave me the impression that his time was far too valuable for him to be talking with me. Actually did ...this thing where he made it clear he had just put the phone down until I stopped talking. because I had dared to repeat myself, because he failed to respond to what I had just said not 60 seconds prior. Just my impression, but he seems to lack any real empathy for his clients, and in all, just not a very nice man. I gave him two stars, only because of his years of experience, as I imagine he learned a thing or two from the Slepian family, and for what it was worth, he did make partner at that firm. Not sure how long he was with Eric Slepian, but he was there for two years while my case was in progress. I would recommend Eric Slepian, as I believe he is a second generation disability lawyer. Not sure, but I believe his father was also disability attorney. My case is still pending. Just the process for those of us who do not have slam dunk cases. Its unfortunate that social security obviously want to draw out the process as long as possible, and the pandemic has just made the wait time even longer! Tye may be a good lawyer, I would not know how good of one he is, but his demeanor sure leaves a good bit to be desired!

I am a Navy Veteran who served in uniform for over 30 years. Shorty after retiring in 2010 the VA found me to be 100 percent disabled. I filed for Social Security Disability and was denied. In 2013 I reapplied and was once again turned down. I applied for an appeal and was going to go through the pro...cess alone. Two weeks before my court date I saw a TV Commercial about Slepian Law Office. I knew that I was unprepared and lacking the knowledge to represent myself. I gave Slepian a call and they agreed to represent me. This was one of the smartest decisions of my life. My attorney Tye S. Smith and his staff prepared a winning case. He is a true professional. I was amazed at how quickly he understood my military background and how my service connected disabilities impacted my daily life. I could not of asked for better representation. Make the call!
