They are beyond Great! My case has been going on and affecting my life for way too long. The Law office of Smith & White heard me and understood me as a person and handled my case fast and professionally. I HIGHLY recommend them, and hope if any one needs assistance in law would be blessed to find them!

I reached for guidance and a direction of representation for a no contact order. The firm went way above and beyond representing me. Not only was the case dismissal completed, but James stood beside me through everything. Making sure everything was resolved and standing by your side. This is a firm that will go above and beyond to stand beside there client and do whatever is need to resolve and represents them.

Attorney White and his team did an incredible job with my case. They are very kind, understanding, and a pleasure working with. I would highly recommend using them!

Derek is smart and aggressive. James is calculated and calm, which gives their firm an almost perfect balance. Danely is very polite and communicative. There wasn’t one time that I reached out and didn’t get a reply or an answer. Derek is transparent and communicates efficiently. He really cares about his clients and who he represents. Although I didn’t get the exact results I wanted (based on a decision I made) I feel that we still got a pretty good offer from the prosecutor (charges will eventually be dismissed) and I’m very happy with their service. The only negative thing I can share is that it took way too long to come to a conclusion IMO and communication with the court/prosecutor seemed very “wishy washy” at times, but thats typical when dealing with “the system” If you need a criminal defense attorney in South King County or Pierce County I would highly recommend Smith and White! They are worth the investment!

Mr. Derek Smith is a no nonsense lawyer. He is personable an obviously well regarded in the lawyer field. We interviewed several lawyers and even hired another lawyer before finding Derek. Our previous lawyer said there was "nothing more he could do" and it was either trial or face jail time. He was fired and we found Derek. Derek was immediately forthright with the possible outcomes and he was honest, didn't sugar coat anything. It just felt right to hire him, there was no doubt that he would do a better job that our previous lawyer. Derek immediately got to work on the case. He interviewed all parties and presented the scenario to the prosecutor. After some negotiations, he was able to negotiate no jail time, only community service and a very small fine. Everyone else told us it would be for sure jail time. I would not hesitate a second to recommend Derek to anyone needing a criminal lawyer.

The lawyer is smart, confident, and works to protect and defend the client.

I would highly recommend the Law office of Smith & White. Derek and his team has provided excellent service and was always there to answer any of my questions regarding my situation. I will forever be grateful of them. Again, thank you so much Derek for everything you've done for me. May God bless you and your awesome team 🙏 ❤️ Sincerely Ivy

Very pleasant and professional, thank you very much

James White and his paralegal Danely Bravo, did a fantastic job handling me and my case through a stressful time. I cannot speak highly enough of everything they did. If you ever have a family law matter in the Puget Sound, contact them. Thanks to them, everything I need taken care of in a timely fashion and I got possession of all the things that really mattered to me.
