Benjamin Jacob Smith's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Benjamin
Cara Lauren Boroda headshot
Cara Boroda

Unknown lawyer | Jan 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Benjy is a smart and thoughtful attorney who is an expert in his field. Benjy will not just fight hard but is strategic and creative about his cases. Benjy hustles and thinks outside of the box, never looking at any case as typical. His devotion to his clients and his innate ability to pivot and adapt to the various dynamics of a case makes Benjy a strong and excellent advocate to have on your side (and, indeed, a formidable opponent, too)."

Avvo Rating

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.
