Brad just got my charges withdrawn, I recently had been charged for a serious criminal offense, on a Saturday and called every QC lawyer I could find that Monday. I spoke with 3 lawyers that specialized in my charge prior to Brad, and truthfully I found that based on looks and speaking with them, they seemed overconfident. When I saw Brad, he looks like a lawyer that is going to destroy the case but also looks like the kinda person that you don’t wanna “screw with.” When I spoke to Brad I really pushed to see how cocky he was (as my case was going against law enforcement, I didn’t want that), and his articulation skills. I was impressed beyond belief with him and knew I needed him on my side. He gave me realistic expectations, his pricing was upfront (although 2nd highest out of everyone) but was willing to work with me. Brad and Shannon (his assistant) continually kept me updated and essentially said if it has anything to do with the case you let us worry, and anything to do with work you worry about. With that being said they constantly kept me updated with information. 100% sure if it wasn’t for Brad. I would have gone for trial.

Brad Smith is a smart, hardworking and exceptional mastermind who takes the initiative from the onset.

Brad Smith impressed me with his professionalism and his experienced, sound reasoning. He is an extremely intelligent, articulate litigator who in my particular circumstance sought to obtain the best-balanced resolution. I have had occasion to deal with a multitude of lawyers, far beyond that of the average man, and believe Brad to be a man of integrity and compassion. A fact that might escape those persons inexperienced with the legal system, is that Brad retains the respect of prosecutors, which is critical to those cases where negotiation and compromise might be available.
