About

Attorney David J. Smith established The Smith Law Firm, LLC in 2010 to assist Ohio residents in obtaining relief from their financial issues and has since helped hundreds of families.David has roots in the greater-Dayton area having graduated from Walter E. Stebbins High School in 1999. From Stebbins, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Sports Management from Wilmington College in 2003, graduating cum laude. In addition to his academic accomplishments, David played on the varsity soccer team and served his fraternity as president, amongst other extracurricular activities.David went on to study at the Pettit College of Law at Ohio Northern University and received his Doctorate in Jurisprudence in May 2006. Prior to practicing law, David worked as a research reference attorney at the LexisNexis Corporation in Miamisburg, Ohio. David noticed the increasing economic issues that were affecting Ohio citizens and decided he wanted to help these good people through their tough financial times. His practice focuses on consumer Bankruptcy law (Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies). Additionally, since marrying his wife Rachel and starting their family with their three children, David has begun assisting young families with their estate planning (wills, powers of attorney, and representing fiduciaries in probating estates). Estate planning is important for people of all ages as one never knows when these documents will be needed. David also assists Ohioans with general civil issues such as evictions, credit card lawsuits, foreclosures, etc.

We hired David do our Bankruptcy. He was very professional about everything. Once we got him all the documents he asked for, we had a quick turn around with our case being filed. We knew exactly what to except at our hearing and we had no surprise along the way. David did a great job, and we have new financial start.

I was referred to Mr. Smith by the legal dept at my office. I am very pleased with the work Mr. Smith did for me in creating my will. He was very professional and did a great job. I will recommend him and will use his services again in the future if the need arises. Very affordable as well.

I really don't understand the handful of negative reviews for David Smith. He did the wills for my wife and I a couple of years ago. He asked a lot of questions, made sure it was how we wanted it, made recommendations, and responded quickly to emails and calls. Contrary to one other review, his email address has NOT changed (it's still the same as it was when we hired him to do the wills), and neither has any of the rest of his contact information. Also, his paralegal is knowledgeable and helpful, so if he wasn't available she either helped us or had him get back to us. Overall, a great experience.

From the first time we met Mr. Smith, he was very concerned about our welfare and explained the process of chapter 7 very thoroughly. We communicated back and forth on email because we had lots of questions. It didn't matter what time of day or night he would get back to us. We highly recommend Mr. Smith and won't hesitate to contact him again as needed.

I was referred to David by a friend who had heard good things about him. My first appointment was in September. Two months later, we are all done! I postponed filing for 3 years. I felt embarrassed that life had come to this. I explained my situation to David & never felt judged or looked down upon. He clearly discussed the process and assigned my homework assignments to get the ball rolling. David was always very quick to answer ANY of my question! Typically he responded same day! He left nothing to guess. I am so glad that David was my attorney! He was kind, empathetic and professional. If you are looking for a bankruptcy lawyer....look no further! He's your guy! I really don't think that there is anything else he could have done to make this life-changing experience any more positive.

After my previous law firm overcharged me and failed to provide timely service, David Smith took my case. He received no compensation, and in spite of that fit my case into his schedule. After more than a year of postponements with my previous attorney, David got the job done in a matter of weeks. He was well prepared, considerate, and professional. I walked into my hearing with confidence. He did an excellent job preparing the information the court needed, preparing me, and preparing for any eventuality. In addition, he treated me with dignity and compassion. He made what could have been a traumatic experience a good one. I recommend David Smith.

My husband & I had to file bankrupcty. It was with heavy hearts that we had to do this, but we needed to start over & gain control of our debt. David was very thorough, informative, personable, patient, & really went the extra mile. He took the time to explain our options & the process. We would recommend him to anyone in need of filing for bankruptcy.
