Got me money when no one else would take my case!

I was involved in a car accident and was hit while turning through an intersection. The person that hit me said it was my fault, but she ran a red light. The police wrote down that I was at fault and I was be turned down by every lawyer I went to. I contacted David Smith and told him what had happene...d and he took my case. It wasn't too long before I received a call from his office telling me that my car which was totaled is going to be paid for and that they were offering me a settlement for my injuries! This was way more than I was expecting and helped me to replace my car and pay my bills. Thank you for going above and beyond for me and believing in my case.

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.
