Experienced Defense For Misdemeanor & Felony Charges
Criminal Law
If you’ve been arrested, charged with a crime, or contacted by law enforcement for questioning, the decisions you make in the first moments can have a lasting impact on your case. Do not face the criminal justice system alone.
Before speaking with law enforcement or relying on online research for answers, contact The Smitherman Law Firm for a free consultation. Early legal guidance can make a critical difference in protecting your rights and building the strongest possible defense.
Every criminal case is different. The facts, circumstances, and legal challenges surrounding your situation are unique, which is why no two cases should ever be approached the same way. What happened in someone else’s case does not determine what is possible in yours.
You deserve an experienced advocate who will stand by your side and fight to protect your rights, your reputation, and your freedom.
Whether you are facing DWI/DUI charges, drug offenses, assault allegations, or other criminal accusations, we provide aggressive, strategic representation at every stage of the legal process—from investigation and arrest through negotiation, hearings, and trial. Our goal is to minimize consequences, protect your future, and pursue every available defense option.

Compassionate Counsel For Injured Clients Seeking Recovery
Personal Injury
At The Smitherman Law Firm, we understand that a serious injury caused by someone else’s negligence can have a lasting impact on every part of your life. You deserve to be made whole, but insurance companies are focused on minimizing payouts, not fairly compensating you. In many cases, they will attempt to settle quickly for far less than your claim is worth, often before you’ve had a chance to fully understand your rights. That is not justice.
When negligence leads to injury, we pursue full and fair compensation for the complete scope of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, pain and suffering, and other damages. Our firm is committed to guiding clients through every stage of the claims process and aggressively advocating for the outcome they deserve.
Let us focus on holding the responsible parties accountable so you can focus on your recovery.
