Attorney Pheobe Smith

“For the past 30 years, my focus has been on defending individuals facing criminal charges. I am deeply passionate about my work and feel privileged to stand by my clients, always approaching each case with humility and honor. Unraveling the unique narrative of each person I represent is a captivating aspect of my role, though it can also be profoundly moving. I firmly believe that when a client entrusts me with their defense, it is not by chance; rather, it signifies a purposeful partnership between us.

I have been fortunate to receive training from some of the most esteemed legal minds in the nation, including Gerry Spence, Randi McGinn, Roger Dodd, Larry Pozner, Terrance MacCarthy, and Michael Tigar, among others. Their mentorship has equipped me with invaluable lessons and skills, which I continuously refine to better serve those under my care.”
