I have Chris Smith as one of my attorneys and he is working on a complicated federal case for me. He is an extremely prepared lawyer who thinks 3 or more steps ahead of the situation. He is hard-working and thinks of the broad picture in the legal strategy. He is good at communication and also very easy to talk to as he gets right to the points which are important. I highly recommend him if you need a sharp lawyer to fight a tough legal case.
Chris helped me through tough times. He is our best lawyer in Gulfport. He gets things immediately, and he is the most prepared lawyer you will find. We worked with a lawyer who was also a DA. None of these lawyers compare to Chris. I am happy with the excellent service.
