My case was very unexpected and unfortunate. He took care of my case in a fast, efficient, and with care. He helped me be aware of things my policy offered that I didn’t even know about. Helped make things go nice and smooth.

Working with Jonathan Smith was an excellent experience. I was lucky - he was the first lawyer I came to and I didn't need to look for anyone else. He is a great and patient communicator. I was very happy to "have a business" with him.

Atty Smith provides extremely high quality work and excellent results. His demeanor is professional yet made me feel comfortable working with him and confident in his ability to get the best results for me. His strategy to get results is well thought out and he has a vast knowledge of what is needed to win the highest settlement possible. And as nice as he is with his clients he is a “pit bull” dealing with the opposition. He readily communicates with his clients every stage of negotiations. In addition his staff is equally professional, friendly, and skilled. It was a pleasure having him handle my case, with excellent results. S Howard

Jonathan walked me through the process and I followed his directions. The results were exactly as he stated. I would and have recommended his Law firm to a friend of mine already. It was very important that I retain a Lawyer practicing in the Columbia MD area.
