This is money well spent. Erin's legal service was excellent while her fees were more reasonable than those of other firms. The communication was professional and efficient and she represented me successfully while I was out of town. Thank you Erin!!

The Erin Smith Law Firm located on 1313 King Street in Alexandria, VA provided me the best and most outstanding, trusted legal representation to mitigate my traffic violation with a successful outcome of "complete dismissal." I have served this nations federal government over the past 35 years in the European, Pacific and American regions, and I have never met a more competent attorney than Ms. Smith. The Smith Law Firm is an acclaimed legal service that constructs a brilliant defense for any traffic violation case. Ms. Smith is kind and empathetic who demonstrated a remarkable degree of legal expertise and expanded every effort to exceed client expectations. The Smith Firm is "top notch" in litigating traffic violation cases which attests to their true sense of professionalism and commitment to resolve any case in court with a successful outcome. Her positive attitude and genuine concern to help me in any way possible is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend the Smith Law Firm, PLLC to represent anyone who receives a traffic violation. I will recommend the Smith Law Firm to all my friends and professional networks world-wide. I want everyone to know that you can trust the Smith Law Firm, PLLC, to
successfully handle your case. I appreciate and thank you so much for your outstanding assistance!
Very Best Regards,

The outcome was exactly what I had hoped for. She managed to reduce my moving violation to a non-moving violation. She also helped answer any questions I had promptly.

Can’t recommend enough the Smith firm. Both Erin and Lili were highly responsive. Let me know the process. It was seamless from start to finish and reckless driving was reduced with small fine to pay. Professional. Affordable and first class representation. The online reviews really do accurately depict this firm. Hope I won’t have another ticket, but if life throws one this way wouldn’t think of asking for help anywhere else.

Erin is PHENOMENAL. This was my first time ever being pulled over. I called her just a week before my court date (reckless driving). I was so worried. I thought I'd already run out of time! Luckily, she and her staff assured me of otherwise and made the entire process so much easier than I thought it would be. She had the charge reduced to improper driving along with a fine to pay, which definitely beats license suspension. Compared to other lawyers in the NOVA area, she is very affordable and always responds at her earliest convenience. I am pleased with the outcome of my case and would definitely call her again (though I hope I won't need to) and refer her to anyone in need of a great lawyer. Don't hesitate to call her! You will not be sorry!

I was represented by Ms. Lili O’Connell of the Smith Firm for a speeding ticket and was elated with her professionalism, commication and the outcome of of my case! The cost for representing me in court was very affordable and fair! I will most definitely contact the Smith Firm again if needed and highly recommend them for your legal representation in traffic court!

I highly RECOMMEND Erin. She is professional and competent at her job. I hired Erin to represent me at the Arlington court for some traffic tickets. I do not live in Arlington so I contacted her on their website. She handled the contract and required documents online and she responds to emails promptly with detailed information. I was totally satisfied with the outcome of the hearing.

I hired Ms. Smith to represent me on a pretty scary issue (to me). I was so worried how things are going to turn out and the lasting effect the court ruling could have on me. Since the first phone call, Ms. Smith's offered her calm and empathetic demeanor making me feel at ease and assuring me that she will work diligently on my case and in my best interests. She made me feel like I was not just another client to her, but that she really cared about my case. She represented me successfully and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!

I was very worried when I got a ticket for driving over 80 mph.i had only been in VA for a few years. I called Erin and a few other lawyers but chose to go with Erin because she explained everything well including all of my options. She made the process sound almost too easy. My case was handled without a hitch and I am very pleased with her service. If I have any friends who are unfortunate enough to be in the same situation I will definitely refer them to Erin.

Similar to other sentiments, I am really satisfied with Erin Smith's work on my reckless driving charge in Arlington, VA. Even though I am a Florida resident, Erin was able to represent me in court without having me present. She was able to get my reckless driving charge dropped to a speeding ticket. Thanks to Erin I am not a criminal

I am totally impressed with Ms. Erin Smith. I was able to consult with her, whereby she provided excellent information about the manner in which the Arlington County traffic court system works and what I could expect as a result. She was right on point, and her representation in traffic court in the Commonwealth of Virginia (Arlington) resulted in a small fine and court cost with no points on my driving record nor any negative insurance ramifications. I highly recommend Ms. Smith to anyone who has a traffic violation.

I received a post card from Attorney Erin Smith a week before my court date for a traffic violation. First I was not sure but I was able to easily access to her on the phone right away and she was very direct and honest and explained in detail the potential outcomes and consequences. She also quoted me a very reasonable fee for representation, and followed it by a detailed email regarding her process. I actually did see the exclusive 5 star ratings on Google reviews after I hung up with her and was confident she would be the right attorney to handle this violation. She also asked me to not come to the court as well and that was very convenient. She was able to reduce my violation to a no-points, non-transferred violation with no insurance ramifications. I am grateful to her and would hire her as my attorney without a second thought again on another potential traffic violation. I would highly recommend her.

I received a citation for "Following Too Closely" after an accident I was in recently. I was new to the area and it had been the first accident I've been in with anyone else involved and I've never had any tickets before so this was extremely stressful for me. Due to the nature of my case, everyone I reached out turned me down and declined their services to me for my situation. Within the 24 hrs of contacting The Smith Firm I was contacted by Erin herself for a free consultation where she gave me the run down and how it would likely play out with her services and what results I was looking at.

She was amazing to work with. Due to life I wasn't going to be in town and couldn't be present for the hearing and everything was pretty last minute on my end since I had some personal stuff going on and had to hold back on reaching out to here. She still put the time aside to provide her services despite the short amount of time I had until my hearing.

Erin was able to bring my citation down to a non-moving offense that carries no demerit points onto my license and with a fee way less than the original offense. Her services were very fair in price and worth every single penny with no doubt about it. She was very understanding and patient throughout everything and I'm extremely thankful I was able to work with her and her firm. I would highly recommend reaching out here if you need representation. You won't regret it. Erin kept in contact with me during the whole time and was amazing to work with. You won't be disappointed!

Well worth the the money. Erin reduced my speeding ticket of 20+ over speed limit (non-reckless) to failure to obey a traffic sign. So I went from a loss of 6 points, a big fine and it stays on my driving record for 6 years to just a loss of 3 points, smaller fine and only stays on my record for 3 years. Also got my expired inspection dismissed. I will use Erin if ever in a similar predicament in the future.

I was appointed Erin Smith to represent me in a DUI case. This was not my first time having to deal with the court system, however it was by far the best experience i have ever had. Erin was very professional and her knowledge of the courts, judges, and prosecutors was remarkable. The one thing i really enjoyed about working with Erin is that she did not treat me just like another case. She treated me as a human not a criminal and she did not just try to get me a deal. She worked extremely hard an presented my case so well that i was found NOT GUILTY! To hear those words and to be able to walk out of court and continue on with my life was the best feeling ever. If you are in need of legal counsel.. I strongly recommend the Smith Firm. My experience with this firm was 5 star. Thank you Erin.

I hear people say " ...it is the real deal," but never weigh in on and perceived its significance until my experience with Erin. She is The Real Deal. She delivers. So personable & considerate, she accepted to take my case due in two weeks and set the schedule while am on a phone with her, even without me paying for her service at first. She handles her office work so professionally and diligently as I saw her, and she delivers in courts too as I attest to the result of my owncase and many others going through her reviews. For best courtesy and efficiency, it would be wiser to visit her. She drops my three point FAIL TO OBEY Highway SIGN to a zero point charge, thereby saving me bigtime from insurance ramifications and possibly job loss due to the nature of my work. This is while I have other prior tickets on my record. Don't miss this service when you need to. I make sure I let my friends and families seeking lawyers for traffic offences to call her!

Erin represented me on a reckless speeding charge. I highly recommend her and could not be happier with the outcome. I spoke with about 20 lawyers over the phone until I got a call back from Erin, while she was still on maternity leave. She was very professional, with great people skills and made me feel at peace while other lawyers were cold and uninterested on what I had to say. She responded to all my questions on a timely manner a would absolutely consider her for any other matter my family needs.

What isn't there to not like about Erin and The Smith Firm. She have a great price and the attitude of an underdog fighter. You'll find out why when you get to consult with her. She's got your back in traffic court if you choose her in your corner. I slept a little easier when she convinced the ticketing officer to agree to reducing my speeding charge to a non-moving violation.

She made me feel like that my case was of the upmost importance, was always quick to communicate any changes to my case while still willing to answer any questions that I had. Not using Erin would be a mistake.

Erin Smith is the best!!! I had an opportunity to have Ms. Smith represent me for my speeding ticket in VA Fairfax County. After speaking to several traffic attorneys, I found her very professional, knowledgeable, polite and reasonable compared to other attorneys I spoke with. She explained me all the possible outcomes that I could get though didn't guarantee anything which was understandable. And she got me the best outcome on the day of my court hearing from speeding down to fail to obey a highway sign with lowest fine and no demerit points. I am so impressed and would definitely recommend her. Thank you Erin!

I reached out to Erin just a few days before my court date for a speeding ticket, and she was extremely helpful in explaining my options. She was able to get my charge reduced to one that did not result in demerit points that would carry over to my home state, and that is less likely to result in an increase in my insurance premium. I would highly recommend the Smith Firm for anyone looking for a traffic attorney in Northern VA!

Contacted the Smith Firm via their website. Received an immediate response. I was give reasonable expectations. Very up front. Very responsive. Very professional. Easy to work with. Very reasonable fee. 46 in a 25 was brought down to a $64 court fee and a $30-$40 driver improvement course. The deposition was better than I expected. The reviews speak for themselves.

Forget the rest and go with best!
I was extremely pleased with my representation by Erin Smith. She was by far the most knowledgeable and less expensive than the other law firms I had talked with. When you talk with Erin, you can rest assured that you are dealing with someone that has direct experience with lots of cases in Fairfax County. You quickly realize that you are dealing directly with the person who will be the one representing you in court, and not some assistant or legal aide/intern. Her vast knowledge and matter of fact way of talking to you is refreshing. Her quick response and patience to step though any questions I had was very much appreciated. Although she did stress that there are no guarantees ( and she did identify all the relevant variables) she did manage to lower the cost to me and significantly reduce the points on my driver's license.
I am confident that I couldn't have gotten a better deal anywhere else, even if I had spent more money.

In Fairfax County you will be deluged with flyers from multiple attorneys. I called a lot of them and got a wide range of information and costs quoted. I was a little disturbed by the lack of consistency. Then I called Erin - everything she said made sense & the confidence and experience just came through the phone. Everything Erin said was consistent and logical, and she was very patient with my questions, best of all her answers made perfect sense. I knew I didn't need to call anyone else - I wanted Erin to represent me. Hopefully I will not need this type of service in the future, but if my family or friends do, I know exactly who to recommend - Erin Smith.

In short, if you get a reckless driving/criminal citation in Fairfax County, just go with Erin. She's professional, straightforward, knowledgable and super easy to communicate with. I've never had legal representation for many of my traffic court appearances and this is by far THE smoothest experience of all.

The long story:
I received a reckless driving/criminal citation while in Fairfax County... a slew of flyers and mailers were sent to me within weeks. I have had one previous reckless driving citation in another county, reduced to speeding and done it without any counsel so I thought I could do the same in this case. While going through the flyers, I thought it couldn't hurt to contact some of them.
Erin was by far the most responsive and straightforward in her response, also advising me to bring my clean driving record in my home state... (admittedly, I have had numerous speeding tickets in other states). I asked if I really needed to retain counsel and apparently Fairfax County is notorious for not even speaking to the defendant if they do not have legal representation. She also added that if I decide to retain counsel, I don't even have to appear in court as it actually would not make a difference (I actually got to enjoy my day off work instead of spending half my day worried in a courtroom, waiting to be called). My citation got bumped down to speeding (no criminal offense, whoop!), I didn't have to go to court, and all my interactions were done through email (I travel and not available in person and by phone a lot). Just amazed how smoothly this all went. Bottom line, just send all your friends and family to Erin for their traffic legal needs.

Erin Smith is the most helpful traffic lawyer I have came across so far. She far exceeded my expectations when she was able to dismiss my speeding violation ticket.

I reached out to Erin Smith after being cited for reckless driving, the result of an unintentional driving mistake. I had received dozens of letters and ads from lawyers after my citation was posted. Most of these used scare tactics to make their pitch. Erin's postcard was one of a small number of mailings that came across as no-nonsense, no pressure, and helpful. She made herself available for a free consultation on a Saturday and did a great job of explaining the process and definitions of various related charges. She also indicated how she would approach the matter. I felt pretty confident she would get the charge reduced, which she did. Her service fee was $500, payable in two installments; some other lawyers advertised a lower price but most were about the same or higher. It definitely proved to be worth it for the outcome. She was generally quite responsive to questions I posed leading up to court date. She also was able to represent me without my having to appear.in person, which was a big help. All in all, she's a real pro, and I'd recommend her to anyone else in similar circumstances.

Horrible experience. I hired Mrs. Smith so that I wouldn't have to miss a day a work. We talked negotiated a fee and I thought that I was in good hands.

My court date came and passed with no word from Mrs. Smith, so I called her only to have her lie to me and tell me that she failed to see one of my charges and that my presence was needed therefore it had to be passed to a later date.

I then requested a refund somewhat rudely refused a discussion was had and I chose to keep her moving forward.

On the date of my new trial date she no where to be found. I was one of the first there at trial that day and I was literally the last person heard on the docket.

So she finally shows up and she tells me she'll try to work out a deal. The offers she was coming back with was absolutely terrible.

The judge was extremely favorable so I decided to have her wave her appearance and I proceeded pro se and was pleased with the outcome which was much better than anything Mrs. Smith attempted to get for me.

My experience was horrible. She's manipulative and outright liar. And I would testify in court under oath that she is.

In driving from NY to NC to pick up my college son, was stopped when going through the Washington, D.C. area in a reduced speed section of the interstate. Given the posted speed, I could have incurred a high cost penalty plus license and insurance implications. The Smith Firm handled my case / court appearance, saving me a return trip from NY, plus successfully had my ticket reduced to a non-moving violation saving me points and insurance costs. Best outcome I could of asked for.

I'm so glad I found The Smith Firm to help me with my ticket in Alexandria. Erin and her associate Lilly guided me in the right direction and helped me to understand what my options were. Erin is responsive and knowledgeable, and worked things out so I could keep from getting points against my license. If I need legal help in the future I know where to turn!

From Carter: I'm truly Blessed to have come across Ms. Erin Smith. I was facing a very serious charge, and didn't understand everything. After just a couple minutes of speaking with Ms. Smith she explain everything completely and all possibilities. I was under stress but right after speaking with Ms. Smith I had full confidence in her. It was literally like speaking to a friend. She actually cares for her clients and knows her craft very well. I more than strongly recommend the Smith firm.

Erin Smith is an excellent attorney who greatly exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for a tie, and Ms. Smith knocked it out of the ball park! She was helpful during the free initial consultation.

After being absolutely overwhelmed with attorney mailings after a traffic incident, I feel so fortunate to have found Erin. First, I deliberately read through every brochure and letter sent by various firms. Most were clearly employing fear tactics (essentially, "horrible things if you don't hire me..."); but Erin's information struck me as objective, based on actual subject matter expertise. Then, I went to her website and read it thoroughly. Again, the website reinforces her specialization in traffic related defense. (Her blog is awesome, btw.) Most importantly, when I decided to meet her for a consult, I was immediately set at ease. She was clear in explaining legal processes and probable outcomes. She charged an extremely reasonable fixed rate and delivered an ideal outcome, consistent with her consult. If you need traffic defense, look no further: Erin Smith will take care of business (and you).

Long story short, Erin Smith is excellent at what she does and will be a great benefit to whom ever contacts her for legal representation on traffic-related matters. For more information about my story, keep on reading...

I am really glad that I contacted Erin Smith. Initially, I received a pretty severe traffic ticket, but not as bad as it could have been. The Fairfax County police officer was a little lenient with me. This was surprising, since I know Virginia Police officers generally don't show much mercy. So, because the police officer showed a little decency I was prepared to just pay the ticket and be done with it. I hadn't given much thought about how it would affect my driving record, or insurance.

Regardless, one day prior to my sending in my payment, I received a mailing from Erin Smith which said, "Don't just pre-pay a ticket, call the Smith Firm, PLLC for a free consultation. See what an experienced traffic attorney can for you." So I thought, what have I got to lose? It's just a couple minutes on the telephone. I called, spoke with Erin, and asked her outright "What would be the more cost advantageous move to make given my situation." She was honest that she couldn't say for sure what the certain short/long term financial consequences would be, but took the time to explain what generally happens with one's driving record and insurance premiums after paying and admitting guilt to a traffic infraction like the one I received.

After talking with Erin for about 10-15 minutes, understanding the likely options, I decided right then and there that I wanted Erin to take on my case. I'm REALLY glad that I did. Erin successfully had my ticket reduced down to "Fail to Pay Full Time and Attention." WOW! I was really impressed. You almost can't beat that. I went from being at jeopardy of losing 6 points on my driving record and having long term financial consequences with regards to increased insurance premiums, to 0 points and no change to my long-term financial consequences.

Call Erin's firm. You'll be glad you did.

Erin is great! I usually feel overwhelmed when I talk to a lawyer. But when I was on the phone with her, she sounds so pleasant and very comfortable to talk with. She explained all my options so clearly and clearly she is very good at what she is doing. I strongly recommend to get her help if you have any tickets, especially serious traffic violations. She will exceed your expectation.

Erin rescued me from a nightmare another law firm was me to. When I Met with Erin, I explained my situation to her and I could tell she was a professional and was seriously concerned about traffic infraction(reckless driving). She warned me of the fines for this type of infraction. A long story short, she was able to allow me to keep my license, with no jail time and a reasonable fine! In my opinion, Erin has the integrity to understand individual issues and how to best resolve them. I highly recommend The Smith Firm and Erin Smith.

What a great experience!
Mrs. Smith has been, by far, the best attorney I have ever worked with. She was always available, very approachable, comprehensive, reliable and willing to go the extra mile every time. I was charged with reckless driving and she made sure I understood every step of the process. She was very detailed to what her approach and solution to my problem would be. Ultimately, she was able to get the reckless charge dropped and my fine went from $250 to $150.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a great attorney!
