When I opted to call Dave about a real estate transaction that I was being sued over, I never knew how fortunate I was in making that call. What should have been an easy matter to resolve turned into a 2.5 year battle - all because of the unprofessional behavior of the opposing council. I knew very little about the civil litigation process and statutes that govern them. Dave was very patient with me and made sure I understood along the way what to expect and the options I had at each decision point. In this way, he was a coach and trusted teammate. I could always depend on Dave to communicate quickly and openly everything that was going on between him and the opposing counsel. When I would ask for his opinion I could expect a calming voice on the phone often talking me off the ledge as I would catastrophize the situation. His advice was invaluable. These were the “soft” skills that Dave brings to the practice. Things that maybe you wouldn’t consider in choosing a lawyer. He presents himself as the neighbor next door and has a wide range of contacts and resources to draw upon. In addition to his personal style, Dave is an excellent lawyer and his years of experience shine in his knowledge of the law and the steps that need to be taken at each point in the case. In the end, we won the case without having to go to trial. But I had total confidence that if we would have gone to trial, we would have prevailed because of Dave’s preparation and full understanding of the case and the approach he would have taken. What could have turned into a financially ruinous situation for me turned into a windfall with a partial return of money that I had spent defending myself. DO NOT HESITATE TO MAKE THE CALL if you find yourself in need of a responsible lawyer that you can trust and depend on to represent you fairly and when necessary aggressively.

Mark and his partner Kathryn are the best lawyers I've ever hired. I had a client who had not paid a large bill. Mark and Kathryn moved fast. They gathered the facts, assessed the law, were sure just what to say and they brought some pretty big heel opposition to it's knees in lighting speed. I am, as a small businessman, deeply appreciative of their diligence, knowledge and drive. Hire these guys and I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Just make sure that if you receive a check from them for settlement, that they bother to sign the check!!! We had to drive an additional 2 hours back and forth to get our check signed !!!!

It was a pleasure to work with Mark Jurva. He provided clear guidance on a difficult situation. He dug into the details to find a way to protect my interests and achieved a very positive result. Highly recommend.

Dave has a way of giving his clients self assurance that's its going g to work out. And hes right it does. A genuine good person.

Mark Jurva holds a torch against injustice. Is it a stretch of the imagination to believe some voices are heard over others? 3 cases: All loosing situations, like quick sand, in the essense of time, we won in the end by determination and solid arguments backed by case law!

Calm, clear, and concise. That is how I would describe my experience with The Smith Firm, P.C. David Smith breaks down your legal concerns, offers workable scenarios and helps guide you through the matter at hand. I received great insight into my legal situation and was given good direction as to how to solve the matter moving forward. Legal matters are never pleasant, but David and his team made it far less stressful and definitely manageable.

David has handled all legal needs for our LLC, from assisting with the formation, to contracts and general legal expertise. He has an impressive resume, having worked at the big city firms and is not afraid to take on the most complicated of cases. But, most impressive is his effort to have direct communication with clients. He always responds in a timely manner. And, during meetings or calls, David has the talent of making you feel that your case is his most important. If you are looking for a lawyer you can fully trust to handle your legal needs in a professional manner with excellent results, I would fully recommend David Smith.

Dave has been my business lawyer for over 9 years, I have referred him to all my family and friends and I would highly recommend him. What I really like about his practice is the fact that he is extremely honest and fair. Over the years I have never felt like I was ever over charged or had that awful feeling of hesitation when you call a lawyer knowing that every breath you take costs money. His advice for myself and my family business has always been spot on. I met Dave at Rotary, I did not know him from Adam then, so before I hired him the first time I asked him if I could tag along on a case he defended in the builder board on my day off, his confidence and ability to find the truth puts Matlock to shame, after seeing him in action I felt comfortable having him as my lawyer for life.
