Simply the best!

I have had experience with five different attorneys over the course of ten years for various cases and litigation: Glassey-Smith is the finest law firm I have ever retained. The communication of these attorneys sets a standard for excellence. The manner in which my case was settled was precise and ex...pedient. Sharon and Chris are amazing. Thank you!

Greatful

Imagine purchasing a vehicle that was supposed to be accident free! Well, that is what my husband and I was told; however 1 year 8 months later we found out our vehicle was in a prior accident and the modifications were not adequate! We called the dealer we purchased from and they admitted they fix v...ehicles to fit there standards! They refused to buy the vehicle back at the true value and we were turned down by other auto dealers. We felt that our back was up against the wall and would be stuck with the vehicle forever! We googled attorneys that may help us and found Glassey Smith! From the first moment we spoke with the attorney we felt at ease and knew we had someone fighting for us! They were easy to work with, no upfront fees, and they kept us in the loop. Thanks to Glassey Smith the auto dealer has purchased the vehicle back and we are no longer left with a vehicle that was sub-par!

"In my professional opinion, Chris Smith is the best auto fraud lawyer in California. I have referred multiple clients to him, and they have all raved about the results he obtained. I would never consider referring a client to anyone else."

Consumer protection lawyer | Jul 31

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"What makes for a good car sales fraud lawyer would be working for years inside the auto industry, graduating from a top notch college and law school, working for a judge and seeing how the courtroom works from inside the courthouse, and then put him to work at one of the very best Fraud Law firms in the country. That's attorney Chris Smith. If you have a problem involving fraud, and his office is anywhere near you, I recommend him to you. A smart lawyer who knows the law, the courtroom, and how car dealers work - that's just what a consumer needs when they are a victim of fraud."

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.
