Outstanding Attorney We were completely distraught and didn’t know what to expect before we reached out to Mr. David. We felt relieved and blessed after talking to Attorney David who patiently heard our case and calmly answered all our questions and concerns. He has deep expertise in his field and is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and responsive. He was thorough as well as quick at his assessment and was extremely reassuring, positive, and pro-active. He went above and beyond and gave us a favorable resolution within a week and saved us from further trauma and fear. David Smith is an incredible attorney, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his services! We highly recommend him!

At a time of severe need, Mr. Smith and his staff came through in a big way. Without giving too much detail, David was able to obtain an amazing result. Along this process, his staff was always available and kind, and Kacie was great. David has a working relationship with the prosecutor's office, and was always there as well as working behind the scenes. 10/10 will recommend to anyone, including friends and family. Thank you David, and Leo for being a helping hand in my time of need.
