Very satisfied

What I appreciate the most was Dominic’s availability. He continually exhibited tremendous amounts of legal knowledge, skill, and a vast reservoir of expert resources that ultimately resulted in a settlement of my personal injury case. He sent me to the best Doctors, kept me posted, explained every d...etail, laid out all options for me. He returned all my phone calls day and night. I will recommend Smith and Valentine to my family, friends and co-workers. I want to thank you for all the work you did on my case. THANK YOU… THANK YOU… THANK YOU. Mamour

Treats you as a person, not a payday!

Smith & Valentine Law... How to keep this short & sweet? (don't know if I can) This is a small law firm with very qualified, professional, experienced attorneys. You are made to feel welcome from the time you walk into the door and are met with a smile and a hello. You are not just pawned off onto a ...paralegal like some other firms in town. I sat with my attorney, Domenic Valentine to discuss my case and had the pleasure of Mark Smith stopping in to introduce himself and say hello. Domenic went over my case and gave me my options and he went right to work. It is refreshing to have open and easy communication with my attorney and know he is working for me, not just a quick settlement that doesn't benefit his client. Knowing that I have a firm with civil trial board certification behind me, gave me the comfort of knowing the insurance company wouldn't "play games". Domenic was able to negotiate a settlement (larger than I expected) that gives me back my financial stability, gives me the ability to pay for my future medical needs and takes the burden off of my family. Don't just hire the largest firm in town, not all of them will look out for your best interests. Smith & Valentine gave personal service and I never felt pressured into settling for less than I felt comfortable with. I cannot say Thank You enough for working so hard for me & and getting me back to where I was financially before my accident!
