Joe Landy of Lesser Lesser Landy & Smith is an amazing attorney. I called Joe to get a second opinion about my case and even though Joe was on vacation with his family he called me knowing I wasn’t being represented by my current attorney correctly. After speaking with Joe for over 30 minutes I knew he was going to be my new attorney and it was the best decision I ever made. The compassion Joe showed and his empathy about what I went through made the situation easier to deal with. He always had time to talk to me and explain everything so I understood each and every step along the way. Joe and his associates are very professional and care about their clients. I thank them for everything that they have done for me and my family.
Mr. Landy, handled a personal injury accident for me, I would certainly recommend him to all my family and friends. He and his team were so professional and responsive when i would call with questions and never made me feel as though I was bothering him. He worked very hard for me and won my case. Thank you Mr. Landy

After our auto accident, we were recommended to Joe Landy as an outstanding and responsive attorney. We were not disappointed. He patiently led us thru the entire legal procedure and got us a fair settlement. We highly recommend the law firm of Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith. Especially Joe Landy
Chad Hastings I want to thank you for your help when I was rear ended. I highly recommend Chad Hastings and his firm. Very professional and knowledgeable and personable. He called to check on me and find out how I was doing. I couldn't believe how quick the process was with Mr. Hastings. It's true clients come first, I felt like I was treated like family. ~Debora Fiske
I am a litigator by profession, so when faced with a lawsuit stemming from a life-changing injury, I knew I needed an attorney who could meet the highest standards of legal representation. I fount that and more in Joe. From the outset, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to collaborate with me in developing the most effective strategies, skillfully adapting as circumstances evolved during discovery. What set Joe apart was his genuine compassion for the profound impact this case had on my life and my family's well-being. He combined empathy with a commitment to achieving justice, ensuring I felt supported not just as a client but as a person navigating an incredibly challenging time. Throughout the matter, he was a dedicated and fearless advocate, consistently going above and beyond to protect my interests and secure the best possible outcome. I cannot recommend Joe highly enough to anyone seeking an attorney who embodies professionalism, skill, and humanity in equal measure.

He is the definition of Mr. make it happen. I had a wonderful experience, and if I ever need any legal assistance Chad will be the first I call on.
I have litigated AGAINST Mickey Smith. It was his tenacity and legal acumen that got the case resolved in favor of his client, but it was his professionalism and good-nature that won me over to Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith. So much so, when a family member was injured in an automobile accident, I had zero doubts who I would refer my family to - Mickey Smith and the attorneys at Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith. They took amazing care of my family. They communicated clearly the strengths and weakness of the case. And once again - through determination and strength of communicating the case to the insurance company, Mickey and his firm resolved this matter in great favor of my family. I would heartily recommend Mickey and Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith to represent victims needing protection of their legal rights.
After a family referral, I was introduced to Joe Landy. This is not the first time I've had to hire a lawyer and let me tell you that my expectations we're exceeded. Joe made understanding the process of my insurance claim a breeze. He made sure that I knew what I needed to take care of on my end in order for the case to have the best outcome.
My wife and I worked with Gary and Mickey at LLLS for a case involving our college-age daughter who was involved in an accident. She is at the University of Miami, and we live in another state. We believed that we were facing a daunting situation, being remote and fighting insurance companies. Gary and Mickey were extremely communicative and they stayed with our case until it was fully complete. They truly took all of the headaches off of my wife and me.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
