This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Exceptional

Mr. Elbridge W. Smith and his team were incomparable to any other legal team I interviewed. Mr. E.W. Smith, E. Z. Smith, Ms. Perry Howell, Mrs. Marcelle Arakaki and Ms. Michelle Stewart are the most amazing combination of compassionate and professional. I am forever grateful that they took my case. W...hen I met them, I was very anxious and scared. Looking back, they actually were the only team that took me seriously. They are truly compassionate and honest.

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.
