I have nothing But positive feedback to give regarding my experience with SMILEY & SMILEY, LLP… and would like to share it with any and All.

I was wounded by an Employee of an Institution that had hired me to renovate a large space to accommodate performances in it’s future. The job included the removal and placement of some very large and heavy Items. Before work began, It was clear that I was in charge, would have my own Crew and that my voice would be the voice that was listened to while moving these Heavy Items. I was told that the Employee (mentioned above)…would be present as an Observer…for “Insurance Purposes.” In Short…I was Not listened to.

An aggressive act by this Employee resulted in the crushed amputation of the end of my right middle finger. The Employer…was a very large Institution of whom I had historically worked for and had supported. Almost immediately… I was being asked to sign releases…which I did Not sign. I was given assurance that my Medical Expenses would be paid for,.. However, the Bills kept arriving. Saddened and Hurt…I continued to get No response from this Institution or their Insurance Representative.

My Brother told me to contact the offices of SMILEY & SMILEY, LLP…and I DID.
I found Agency and Certain Advocacy in Smiley Law, as they quickly got to work for Me.
I would call and always be well received. I felt less Alone, Wounded and Trusted I was being considered an Individual…not just another case file.
My case was Settled. Andrew Smiley was my Attorney. Andrew helped ME make the best decision. He was Candid, Informed and Honest. He had my Trust and Confidence…Completely.
I am happy to be on the other side of My unfortunate experience.
I am Totally satisfied with the work that Andrew and Smiley Law did on my behalf.
I now continue to consider Andrew a friend.

I would never hesitate to refer Smiley & Smiley…to Anyone.
Quite Sincerely…Brian P. Glover

It took six years from accident to case resolution. But Smiley and Smiley helped me through that tumultuous time every step of the way.

They were able to were able to get a settlement in my favor, despite a tricky fact pattern and circumstances. The firm NEVER gave up on my case, continuously telling me that I deserve justice and that they were going to fight for me.

And I cannot forget their incredible staff!! If Mr. A Smiley wasn’t available, I was always able to reach the paralegal(s) on my case via phone or email IMMEDIATELY. Mr. Smiley often got back to me personally afterwards, as if my case was the only one that he was working on (just visit their website… they are very busy!!).

The firm goes off of the mantra of “let our family take care of your family”, and that is exactly what happened. Mr. Smiley and his staff ended up knowing my entire immediate family (AND some extended family!!) by name, and they would usually ask for them in conversation. That is, by no means the sign of a good lawyer, but it was just the icing on the cake for extremely talented and skilled litigators.

At the conclusion of my trial, and all was over, Mr. Smiley assured me to never hesitate if I have other legal issues or if something comes up, because he still my lawyer.

I highly recommend Smiley and Smiley for all of your personal injury needs. Do not hesitate!!

Andrew Smiley and the rest of the team were a huge help to me during a tough time. Dealing with an accident and legal matters could have felt overwhelming, but Andrew made sure I was taken care of and made the process easy.

A massive thanks to him and everyone at Smiley & Smiley for making sure the end result was a positive one. They are genuinely great people and I place them in high regards.

Smiley and Smiley have provided me and my family with outstanding and caring legal counsel when we needed it. Both myself and my husband suffered serious injuries on separate occasions due to negligence by property owners. Smiley and Smiley helped us navigate through the legal and bureaucratic systems and provided thoughtful counsel throughout. They handle themselves and their clients with great professionalism and care. Cannot say enough about them and the results they get.

Smiley & Smiley, LLP is a wonderful firm to work with. They came recommended and I’m so glad I chose them. I was injured in a serious accident with my three-year-old son and while in the hospital, I was inundated with advice about law firms, etc. It was an emotional and overwhelming time, but the best advice I received was to go with my “gut” when choosing a law firm. Our lawyer, Jason Friedman visited me when I was in the hospital and he explained our options clearly. My husband and I immediatley chose to work with Jason because he appeared to be sincere and genuine and our feelings about Jason did not change during the course of our case, or after our settlement. He was honest, respectful, efficient, kind, and hard working. His paralegal Madlyn was an angel and also sincerely cared about my recovery and my son’s recovery. If there was a question I had, Jason answered it immediately, if there was a problem, Jason fixed it. Though we have settled our case, I am still able to contact Smiley & Smiley and they answer all of my questions and provide assistance when necessary. There aren’t many businesses out there that will do that. I would certainly recommend them to family and friends.

I was deeply suspicious of personal injury law and personal-injury lawyers when my husband wanted to pursue a case regarding the failure to diagnose his cancer. Luckily, we ended up in the hands of Smiley & Smiley. They zealously pursued our case, guiding us through the process in a way that that minimized the burden and stress of a legal action when we were already shouldering difficult medical and emotional issues, and leading to an outcome more successful that I had hoped. Andrew, Jason, and the rest of the team treated us with exceptional sensitivity and compassion, and even after the case was resolved they went to beyond their obligations to help address related, lingering legal and financial matters. I am deeply appreciative of their advocacy and their friendship, and would strongly recommend them to anyone in the unfortunate situation of needing this type of legal help.

I met with Andrew Smiley, and was Met with utmost respect. Andrew gave me all the information I needed and we signed papers. I could not be in better hands.
I know my lawsuit will take a little time but with Andrew’s help I will get the best possible outcome in the fastest amount of time possible. Everyone from the receptionist to the paralegals is absolutely amazing.

I am a professional singing actor who sustained a broken tibia/fibula in a car accident. After finding a first class surgeon, my next step was finding a first class law firm to deal with the insurance companies -Smiley & Smiley! Andrew and his staff treated me with respect and compassion throughout my surgery and seven month recovery and his legal acumen secured a settlement that enabled me to take the rehabilitation time I needed to return to the stage.
