Jeffrey Healy Smith's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jeff for over two decades: first when we were both deputy prosecutors for King County, and then when Jeff went into private practice in criminal defense. When I was a prosecutor, I knew Jeff to be a knowledgeable, determined and effective advocate for his defense clients. Since I have been in private practice for the past four years, I have referred multiple clients to Jeff for criminal defense, and they have all been very satisfied with his representation. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff as a skilled criminal defense lawyer."
"I have know Jeff for a number of years. He is an excellent criminal defense attorney in every respect. He comes to court well prepared, he gives his clients the best in representation, and he is highly respected by the judges he appears before. Without reservation, I endorse Jeff as a top quality lawyer for your consideration."
"Jeff is an outstanding lawyer. He is smart, compassionate and creative. As a former Prosecutor he knows what will get things done and he has the drive to serve his clients effectively. Jeff has a great reputation among lawyers and he is a pleasure to work with."
"I have known Jeff for many years since working together at the King Country Prosecutor's Office. I have always been very impressed with his work in the courtroom. He is a talented trial lawyer who is always looking after his client's best interest. I highly recommend him."
"I have known Jeff for 16 years, first as a coworker in the office of the King County Prosecuting Attorney and now, for the last 15+ years, as a criminal defense attorney. As opposing counsel in criminal cases and trials, I found Jeff to be thorough, professional, and an excellent and effective advocate for his clients. I no longer practice in the criminal arena but have always referred people dealing with criminal matters to Jeff; I have been incredibly grateful for his outstanding work and impressed with his results. His experience, background, and skills make him the first attorney I recommend to anyone facing a criminal investigation or charge."
