Five Star Review

Ryan successfully handled a landlord/tenant issue for me in 2017. He is easy to communicate with and he kept me informed every step of the way through the entire process. Plus, he's a sports fan.

Sydel Rhema

I needed an attorney when I was struggling with my ex over custody and child support. Mr. Smither helped walk me through the process and was there for every court visit. I was able to reach him quickly on the phone in emergencies and normal texts/emails/etc were returned within a day or two. He worke...d hard on my case and was very understanding when it took me some time to pay him. I’ve recommended him to multiple people already. He’s a great lawyer.

Understanding, great communicator, flexible

I hired Ryan for assistance with a legal matter and I could not have been more pleased! From the beginning he was understanding of my situation, which helped build an immediate rapport. Ryan's ability to communicate in terms that I could understand made me feel at ease with the situation at hand. ...His flexibility to meet with me on my terms was a big relief and made working with him even easier. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone who is in need of legal assistance of any kind.

Divorce and Child Support

Ryan is extremely thorough. He makes sure you understand everything going on during the process. He had my children and my best interests in mind through the whole process. He answers you promptly. I definitely felt like he was fighting for me the whole time. I would definitely recommend him to anyon...e who needed an attorney.

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.
