Welcome

Experienced and Aggressive Lawyer Serving Eastern Washington

The Law Offices of Gerald R. Smith provides representation in criminal defense and civil litigation matters for residents of communities throughout eastern Washington. I am attorney Gerald Smith, and I have over 17 years of legal experience. I understand how our criminal court system works, how prosecutors and police think, and what needs to be done to expose mistakes and errors on their part. If you have been charged with a criminal offense, or have suffered an injury or loss because of negligence or an injustice, I want to help. I am licensed to practice in all courts of the State of Washington, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

To schedule a free, confidential consultation regarding your case and the legal options available to you, contact my office in Spokane today.

My primary areas of practice include the following:

Criminal Defense: I offer more than twelve years of federal defense experience. I handle cases involving felony or misdemeanor charges at the federal and state court level. I use my experience and knowledge of criminal defense law to help you get an outcome that is best for you and your family.

Civil Rights: I can help you get the justice and compensation you may be entitled to under federal and Washington laws.

Personal Injury: I offer effective, knowledgeable representation to people injured in auto accidents and premises liability accidents. I accept all personal injury cases on a contingency basis. I do not charge for an initial consultation, and you will not pay attorneys' fees if you do not receive money for your claim.

Appeals: I also have extensive experience appealing trial court decisions. Some cases simply are not decided correctly. If you were wrongly convicted or had a civil claim denied, then I may be able to help. Not all cases can be appealed, but those that have merit should be appealed to preserve the integrity of our legal system.

Responsive, Hands-on Representation

As a sole practitioner, I have the advantage of being able to offer you personalized service and attention to detail that is often missing in a large law firm. I work directly with clients throughout the duration of their case. Because I do not work with other attorneys, I am able to allocate all of my resources as I see fit. For criminal defense, civil litigation, and appeals, contact the Law Offices of Gerald R. Smith in Spokane to schedule a free consultation with me about your legal matter.
