My case manager, carolyn, was wonderful in completing my case and paperwork. I felt very comfortable with the Chiropractor I was seeing and recommended to. The services helped me tremendously. I highly recommend this firm to anyone because being in a wreck is a painful and stressful situation. Personal Injury Attorney, Shane Smith, makes getting your bills paid so much easier. The staff is very considerate!

I was in a car accident where the damages to both vehicles was rather minor. I was driving down the highway and an individual side-swiped my car, and although I was able to respond in-time to avoid a 'major' accident, my car was still hit. During the accident, my knee was injured and I the result was a torn meniscus (which is cartilage). I had no medical insurance. At the time of the accident I didn't think the injury was significant, so I did not call for an ambulance or go to a hospital. That night my knee started hurting me. I called the other individual's insurance company and told them I was going to get an x-ray of my knee, which they said they would pay for. When I called the insurance company back and told them the extent of my injury, they did not believe that the accident caused my injury and said they would fully deny my claim. I called 5 or so lawyers the next day, and of all the lawyers I spoke with on the phone, Shane struck me as being the individual who I wanted to represent me (he spent the most time on the phone with me and quite frankly just seemed very intelligent - additionally, he went into great detail trying to help me understand my options). I drove to his office, signed all of the paperwork I needed to sign, and didn't have to go back to his office until the case was finished. Shane does have a partnership, and after the initial consultation you probably won't be dealing with him very much. But the rest of the staff is awesome, and the other lawyers working in his partnership are top-notch for their level of experience. The only negative thing I have to say about the whole experience was that Shane recommended I have surgery before we pressed forward with the lawsuit. Well, I did have the surgery before we pushed forward, and because I don't have medical insurance, I was worried about the medical bills ($20,000+) going unpaid and ruining my credit. I was able to explain to the anaesthesiologist's office, surgeon's office and etc. the whole situation and they did not send my bills to collections (the lawsuit took about 8 months). This was a minor outpatient surgery. I wish I did not have to sue the guy's insurance company, but otherwise I KNOW they would not have paid to have my knee fixed. After Shane's firm was compensated, my medical bills were paid, etc. there was about $8000 left over to put in my pocket (and I made Shane settle out of court, he thinks we could have gotten much more if it had gone to trial). I can't say it wasn't nice to get that extra money, but I would have been happy for the insurance company to have just paid my medical bills. Overall a very good experience, I've recommended him to 1 other person to this point and would certainly recommend him to anyone else who experiences a similar situation.

Throughout the whole process of going to the chiropractor and all the motions with the lawyer. Him and the people in his office kept me up to date with everything and let me know everything that i needed to know. He was very helpful in what he did and he made sure the job was done. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

I was hit by a drunk driver headon last yesr. It was the scariest experience I have ever had. I do not remember the accident itself. But upon gaining consciouness I realized that I was very seriously injured and the drunk driver appeared to have no insurance or even be legal in this country. I retained the services of a very well known legal firm. That proved to add insult to injury. They never contacted me after the initial intake, and when I called rarely return calls, finally after 1 month sent me a letter stating that they could not find any evidence of insurance and the firm would no longer be able to represent me. I found the law offices of Shane Smith and my prayers was answered. The office immediately began to work for me. They found the insurance and immediately began to advocate for my rights and needs as a victim. Shane was really available to speak to me throughout the process, his very knowledgable staff kept me informed and "worked for me". Getting me what I deserved from the insurance company and doing it in a timely and very professional, caring way. I will always be grateful to all of the staff for being just what I needed in this very scary and life altering situation. You have my absolute recommendation!

I was in an auto accident September 2011 and Attorney Shane Smith was recommended. He was very understanding and professional at the same time. Attorney Smith did great negotiation with the insurance company and I was very pleased with my settlement. I would highly recommend this attorney for any of your legal needs.
