Friendly, understanding and prompt

Quick and simple, Mr. Smith took my Personal Injury claim and made it seem like a breeze. Always responded quick to my questions, concerns and emails. Guided me through the steps that were my responsibility and kept me informed. Thank you Mr. Smith!

Great Personal Injury Attorney

I had to get Mr. Smith as my attorney relating to a bad car accident I had. He was able to get me the maximum amount of money for myself and my son. He was always professional and prompt in his responses. He knows what he is doing so if you need a great attorney I'd call him to see if he can help yo...u.

EXCELLENT Client Care!

At 8 months pregnant the car I was driving got t-boned and totaled by a vehicle that ran a stop sign. I had a horrible time dealing with the insurance company and it's representatives especially considering my pregnancy the physical state I was in resulting from the accident. I am the sort of person ...that would not seek legal counsel under normal circumstances, but I am so glad I did in this case! Mr. Lynn Smith has gone above and beyond not only in seeing to my legal needs in a way that has served my best interests, but has also been considerate of my emotional needs and circumstances as well. He has been thoroughly informative every step of the way regrading the resolving of my case, and has displayed exceptional communication skills. He has a fantastic lawyerly bed-side manner, and has consistently put me at ease throughout this sometimes difficult process. Hehas not only gained my confidence in his abilities, but also has continually strengthened my own sometimes weakened self-confidence levels regarding the outcome of my case. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I haven't always been easy to get a hold of, and at times I was slow to fulfill tasks I agreed to complete in order to move the case along. Mr. Smith never failed to show me patience, compassion, and kindness. On the other hand, he was very easy to reach when I needed him, and quick to respond to my email and voice messages. Mr. Smith has EXCELLENT client care skills, and never fails to make me feel like his most important client no matter what else he has on his plate! I highly recommend his services, and will not hesitate to employ his experience and legal services in the future should the need arise. Thank you Mr. Smith!
