At Smiley & Smiley, LLP, we have focused exclusively on handling personal injury cases from our midtown Manhattan law office since 1968. Our long track record of successfully helping injured clients and families with fatal accident claims means that:

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.

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.

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.

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.
