Excellence and Professionalism at its best!

Thank you attorney Paul M Smith for helping me out with my personal injury claim. Your office and staff were of tremendous help and always conducted themselves in a professional manner. I find it most helpful to deal with a local attorney who is available to answer any concerns I may have had durin...g my injury. I most definitely will recommend your services to any friends/relatives who may find themselves in a need of legal advise. Thank you to Maria and Anna for you professionalism.

Case Settled

I was involved in a MVA and Mr. Smith was recommended to me. Mr. Smith and his staff walked me through the process and handled my case promptly. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case, not only did I get the treatment I needed, but I was financially compensated $$$. Thank you Mr. Smith!

attorney is like a ghost. never hear from him

Bad experience don't recommend

So far I'm having a bad experience with this office it's been almost a year the accident happened and we keep getting new ppl working on our case they keep saying the person handling your case no longer works here. There bunch of bullshit don't recommend them at all!

He took care of everything!

I was rear-ended in a car accident and only asked the other insurance to cover my medical, but they refused. I went to Paul and he covered all my medical, took care of everything, and in the end I walked away with my medical bills paid and even additional cash for all my pain and suffering. I would ...recommend his firm to anyone who has been injured.

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.
