About

J. Scott Smith is a native of North Carolina.  Born in Greensboro and raised in Northern Davidson County throughout the school year and Kernersville in the summers, Mr. Smith loves being at home in North Carolina.  After graduating from high school, Mr. Smith attended Davidson County Community College where he earned an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Criminal Justice.  After graduating, he was accepted to the Criminal Justice program at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  After some soul searching, Mr. Smith decided that law enforcement was not what he wanted to do.  He decided instead to chase his dreams of becoming a professional musician.  This did not pan out.  However, Mr. Smith did get to showcase his talent and band for Warner Bros. at a stadium show in Jacksonville, NC in front of ten thousand event goers.  He also showcased for Atlantic Records in New York's famed C.B.G.B.s before it closed.  His group also made number 87 nationally in the "active rock" category.  After coming to the close of his musical quest and graduating from Guilford College in Greensboro with an A.B. in English, Mr. Smith decided to go to law school.  In August 2003, Mr. Smith began law school at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, Florida.  He graduated with his Juris Doctor in December 2005.  Mr. Smith moved back to North Carolina shortly after graduation and opened Lawsmith in Kernersville in June 2007.  After over 3 years of practicing law in Kernersville, Mr. Smith decided to move his practice to Winston-Salem, where it is currently located.  In 2013, Mr. Smith opened another office in Greensboro, North Carolina and hired Josh Lopez as an associate attorney.  Mr. Smith is an active D.W.I. practitioner and is a member of the National College of D.U.I. Defense Lawyers.

Mr. Smith made a stressful situation, less complicated while representing me. He explained we and made the prices very simple for me, and got me a resolution on my case, that was greatly appreciated. Very professional and reassuring during the process.

We were represented by J. Patrick Ellington with The Law Offices of J. Scott Smith. Our minor child was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was facing some serious charges. Patrick worked patiently with the DA and was able to reach a resolution that resulted in the charges being dropped. It was the best possible outcome for our family. We are grateful for their representation.

Mr. J. Scott Smith made the court room experience simple and stress free. I was amazed how little time was spent in court! J. Scott Smith is an excellent lawyer who is honest and moral

I've required the services of quite a few lawyers over the years, and none have compared to J. Scott Smith. He is sharp, knowledgeable, and incredibly well prepared. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel.

My experience was exceptionally great considering the circumstances of my case. Scott was there to assist me with any questions or concerns and responded with confident and clear answers. We also took plenty of time to discuss my case and prepare for our court date with constant updates. Both his associate attorney (Andrew) and office staff (Dan) were excellent resources as well. I would highly recommend J. Scott Smith to any clients who are in need of an attorney for any legal matters, especially DWI cases. I have had two legal matters handled by Scott regarding different legal issues and both experiences exceeded all of my expectations. Choosing the right attorney is very important for your case and future. I will use Scott for any further legal issues and I highly recommend consulting with Scott's firm prior to deciding on an attorney to represent your case.

I called based on great reviews I read prior to my divorce. Upon my first conversation, I felt assured this was who I needed to get the divorce done properly. I went in to begin the process for my divorce (everyone was knowledgeable about the legal processes) and the timeline was very smooth. I was aware of what was going on, and any questions I had were answered immediately. To my surprise, the divorce was done quicker (I actually received a call as soon as it was final). Some lawyers take money--very few care about clients. I deeply recommend this firm if you need experts who are reputable with the legal industry.

after I was charged with a dwi,I began to lawyer shop, and I made a few appointments with several respected attorneys even though I didn't have any money. When I met Scott and Dan my wife and I felt very confident right away that they were the team I needed. They were willing to take there time to look my case over thoroughly and gave me great advice.He kept me informed throughout the process,and was very honest,professional, and believed in my innocence. I was charged with driving without license while awaiting trial by the same officer. Scott dropped everything and we went straight to the courthouse,were instead of being arrested and jailed I walked out free and he had the charge dismissed without me even missing a day of work. When it was time for trial he answered all my questions and concerns,and options. He was amazing at trial and all of my charges were dismissed! Dwi, Dwlr,Driving after consumption, and open container. He is the absolute best lawyer Ive ever met and i highly recommend that you stop reading at this point and call his awesome paralegal Dan and he will get you started down the road to redemption!!!

Jason Scott Smith was my lawyer and I could not have done it without him. He is truly amazing and not only changed my day in court but by being as knowledgable with everything as he was, he changed my life! Unfortunately, I don't live close to Winston Salem but if I did I wouldn't look for another lawyer....ever!! Scott and his staff are very welcoming and helpful and always kept me informed with everything. If you're in need for an amazing lawyer, look no further, Scott Smith and his staff are it. Good luck! Well with him, you won't need it!

In February and March 2014 I was arrested for multiple harass phone calls, a communcating a threat, and a 50 b. Scott Smith handled each charge with the up most respect and got everything dismissed including the 50 b. I would refere him and everyone in his firm to handle any case I may ever have in the future.
