I am compelled to write a review on the Christopher J Smith law firm and in particular about Mark Lee.
I contacted the firm to assist me with filing a Social Security disability claim. I made an appointment and met with Mark Lee. He was able to answer all of my questions in a very simple and easy to understand way. This was greatly appreciated not having any knowledge of the process. Mark recommended that I have a functionality study of my ability of movement or should I say my lack of. This was the best tip he could have given me and I feel that it was the turning point in my case.
On the first go around my case was denied. They did this without the benefit of the functionality report. Mark filed the appeal for me and made sure that the case worker had all the documentation needed to make the right decision on my case with several personal phone calls and inquires. (Above and beyond the call of duty) It was approved within the next month. Without Mark staying on top of the process another denial may have been made.
The other thing I would like to point out is his communication with me. Any email I would send him or phone call I would make to him was responded to in a very timely fashion. Coming from the corporate world I have learned over the years that there is nothing more important than communication and stellar communication is what I received from Mark and I appreciated that more than anything else except of course receiving the approval of my case.
I pray that I never need the assistance of a law firm in the future but if I do my first call would be to Mark for his outstanding guidance. If asked by any friend or family member for a recommendation for legal advice I would give them Mark’s number in a second.
If you need legal advice Mark is your guy.
Thanks Mark.

I consulted with Mark numerous times and he was unable to take my case. However, he did in fact spend much time explaining how to handle things what I could expect Hus work ethics impressed me the most for he could have to me sorry—-as many attorneys do
He’s kind patient and he has great experience as well as Professionalism
I would recommend him to everyone and any who is looking for assistance
I’m very grateful I found him

Mark Lee deserves so many more than five stars! I have suffered from debilitating migraine headaches for many years, resulting in early retirement from my fifteen year airline career. Trying to prove to a judge that I suffered from migraines is not black and white. Basically there are no medical tests available to prove I was having migraines. The fact that I was having migraines was based on my word alone. Mark explained this would be difficult but he undertook the challenge.
From the beginning Mark handled everything, filed all the disability paperwork, and making the process so painless for me. Mark asked very basic questions such as health history, physician names, and personal information. From then on I did not do anything except follow his direction such as making follow up appointments with certain physicians. I felt assured the entire time that my case was in good hands because during the two year waiting period to be assigned a hearing date, Mark frequently called every few months to touch base. As the hearing date drew closer we had several meetings. Then Mark and I rehearsed by reviewing the questions he anticipated that would be asked in court. The benefits of this rehearsal were to review the entire case so we would be on the same page, thereby achieving a seemless presentation the next day in court. It also made me relax because I knew what to expect.
The day of the hearing, my car battery died and my GPS sent me in circles as I was close to the building. I had planned to be thirty minutes early and ended up almost missing it! Ten minutes prior to the hearing I could not find the parking area. I was in complete panic, so I called Mark. He was very calm and stayed on the phone with me, asking questions about my surroundings, and verbally guided me until I found my way to the building. I kept thinking, what attorney would be so patient to help me in this way?
Mark put his heart into this case by showing patience with my continual questions. He always returned calls and emails the same day or next. Mark completed the due diligence during those two years while keeping me calm and reassured. I told Mark after the hearing that whichever way it goes, I knew I chose the best attorney who really took this challenge on and did his best. I am so pleased to say that Mark also won this impossible migraine headache disability case for me! If he could prove this case to a judge with no concrete test evidence of my migraines I'm sure anyone reading this would feel comfortable with Mark as their attorney. Mark has a very calm demeanor but he is a fighter to the end!

Mark was able to help me get disability for my wife after we were turned down previously. He understood her disability and worked hard to help her.

Mark Lee is a lawyer who exceeded expectations beyond belief for me and my wife. Mark first consulted with us at our home regarding our home regarding my disability. I can't say enough about his abilities as an attorney and a person.
Thank you again Mark

What can I say about Mr.Lee? For starters my case that was presented, has been one the most attorneys wouldn't give the time of day to look at, but Mr.Lee had no problem accepting a challenge not only for me but for himself. Ultimately Mark kept me well updated through the entire legal process on my claim and suit, he made it very simple to understand and broke everything down for me., even making the learning process interesting of the details of my case. He will fight head over heels for you and I couldn't be more satisfied, a great man and a great attorney!

Mark Lee was a fantastic attorney! He was kind, professional, and reliable. He always returned my inquiries and explained everything as I could understand it. I never once felt rushed or misguided during my case. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mark Lee to family, friends, or anyone going through personal injury litigation. He is by far a top notch lawyer and person as well. You won't be disappointed, I assure you~
