Darren did our two BKs superbly and kept creditors at bay. His tax advice was excellent.

For more than 16 years we have gone to Darren Smith for all of our legal needs and he has ALWAYS either steered us to the RIGHT source or in most cases, he has taken on the work we needed done and performed brilliantly. In business, he has SAVED us money far exceeding his very fair legal fees. He...'s helped us with BKs, real estate, investments, sticky past divorces, investment counseling and much more. He always calls back the same day and is friendly, approachable, gregarious, respected by his peers and takes his work very seriously, though is not at all up-tight. You would like working with him. Both my wife and I have tremendous respect for him. Also, we have recommended Darren to many of our friends over the years, and they, too, have been impressed with his success in clearing up their problems, both big and small. We recommend Darren to anyone wanting an honest, fair, hard working attorney who does not charge you an arm and a leg for every little task.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Darren Smith did a great job collaborating on a divorce case where one of the parties needed to declare bankruptcy. He handled the bankruptcy and worked with us to coordinate the bankruptcy case with the divorce and our mediation which resulted in a settlement agreement. I recommend him without reservation."

  • 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.
