I recommend Attorney Smith without hesitation Dec 2, 2025

I have worked with Ronald Smith on multiple occasions over the past 15 years. In each instance, he has proven to be a tremendous advisor, compassionate counselor, and zealous advocate. As a fellow licensed attorney, I recommend Attorney Smith without hesitation or qualification.

We won the case finally all because of Martin. Nov 25, 2025

My husband had tried a few times to obtain his Social Security disability without any success for 6 years. He and I struggled with forms, process, closings of government and some, until a co-worker told me about this firm. We made the call, set the appointment, and met Martin. From day one, he was a professional, not pushy or a fast talker. He took his time with us, explained everything thoroughly. He never wasted our time, and we never felt like we were just another case to him. He was more like a friend. We won the case finally all because of Martin. Forever our friend and always our first to go to if we ever need any legal advice. If you’ve been struggling, call him today. You will be happy that you did!

If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Nov 19, 2025

If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Working with Ronald E. Smith was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made during one of the most stressful periods of my life. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in the hands of someone who was not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but also deeply committed to fighting for his clients. Ron went above and beyond in every imaginable way—he was patient, thorough, honest, and relentless. He took the time to understand every detail of my case, kept me informed at every step, and always made me feel supported and reassured. It’s rare to find an attorney who combines such skill, compassion, and determination. Thanks to his hard work and advocacy, he achieved an outcome I didn’t even think was possible: he successfully reduced my DUI to a wet reckless and helped me avoid an interlock system entirely. This result was life-changing for me, and I am forever grateful for the level of care and effort he put into my case. If you are looking for an attorney who will truly fight for you, stand by you, and deliver exceptional results, look no further than Ronald E. Smith. He is a remarkable lawyer and an even better human being. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

He was prepared in every way and won our case. Oct 23, 2025

We sought Mr. Smith’s counsel for a serious traffic offense for a juvenile. We were very scared before going to court. He met with us and went through all the steps of what we needed to do before court. He was amazing and sharp through the whole process. He knew his stuff and was very intelligent. He was quick on his feet with the judge and prosecutor. He was prepared in every way and won our case. We are so thankful to him for his professionalism and talent at court.

Helped me win the case Jul 9, 2025

Martin Brillantine represented me on a difficult SSDI appeal. Awesome attorney, excellent legal advice, great attention to detail, and all around nice guy. Helped me win the case and continues to provide legal advice as questions arise. Agree with another reviewer that my initial phone inquiry was very different from other places I called. Much more personable and gave good free advice. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend for Speeding Tickets Apr 17, 2025

I highly recommend Mr. Ronald (Ron) Smith for representation for speeding tickets. Mr. Smith took my case on short notice and managed to reduce a high-speed ticket (2nd in one year) to 'Fail to Pay Full Time & Attention' with a 50-dollar fine and NO demerit points. Mr. Smith is well organized, responsible, responsive, and balanced: he called me shortly after my initial call to his office and e-mailed me all information necessary the same day. He summarized all the steps I needed to take in one document ('Blue sheet'), which made it very easy for me to comply within a short period of time. His office and Mr. Smith himself called me one day before the court to confirm that he would be there and answered all my questions. He called me right after the court with the good news, so I didn't have to wonder about the outcome. And then he e-mailed me detailed instructions on how to pay the $50 fine and court fees. The price his office charged me for such high-level help was very reasonable. If I could, I would give 10 stars! But I also shall do my best to pay full time and attention to not get a ticket again. Thanks!

Excellent Legal Counsel and Representation Jan 22, 2025

Mr. Smith provided excellent legal counsel and representation. He took on my case relatively last minute given that my representation at the time had not been communicative. Mr. Smith was friendly, professional, and understanding. He has a level of knowledge on the inner workings of the Virginia and Fairfax County court system that are demonstrative of an extreme dedication to his profession and a high level of experience. Thank you very much to Mr. Smith and his team!

Inspired Trust with Meticulous Detail Jan 13, 2025

From my first interaction with Mr. Martin Brillantine, the reply to my text inquiry was professional and precise. Other firms provided a general response that did not inspire confidence. Martin's meticulous attention to detail, demonstrated by his tailored answer to my case, inspired trust. Ultimately, Mr. Ronald Smith represented my case. He was professional and effective in negotiating a favorable outcome. While waiting to enter the courtroom, it was clear that Mr. Smith was laser-focused on advocating on my behalf. Silently observing the other attorneys and their interactions during the same period, I felt a strong sense of confidence in my decision to hire Lawrence, Smith, and Gardner, reassured by their professionalism and dedication.

Charge Dismissed, Thanks to Dedication Oct 11, 2024

I was incredibly grateful for the law office of Lawrence Smith and Gardner. The expertise in handling my speeding ticket. They were incredibly responsive, clearly explained my options, and worked tirelessly to negotiate a positive outcome, ultimately getting my charge dismissed. Their professionalism and dedication put my mind at ease throughout the entire process, and I would highly recommend them to anyone facing a similar situation. Attorney Smith is not only seasoned and skilled as a professional lawyer, but has the work ethics of none that I have ever seen before. Through the course of our encounter, he unfortunately had an accident but still worked tirelessly in pain to take care of his clients. I am not only appreciative, but I am indebted for your relentless service, sir. May you be blessed in all you do?

Greatest attorney in DMV Aug 7, 2024

One of the greatest attorneys in DMV I have ever met. Kind, experienced, and a professional lawyer who can handle cases very smoothly. I have had a speeding ticket, which was a reckless driving ticket, and Mr. Smith, with the experience of 40 years, handled it perfectly. I appreciate it and I definitely recommend Lawrence, Smith & Gardner. If you have a speeding ticket or reckless driving ticket, don't forget to talk to Mr. Smith first.

In my lowest moment, Lawrence, Smith, and Gardner helped me out immensely. I had no idea what was going to happen to me and was afraid about my future. Mr. Smith is an excellent lawyer and I recommend him to anybody, especially if you are in the military. They helped me with my case and are also helping me with the expungement process. His whole team has been great and professional as well.

An absolutely wonderful man Sep 19, 2022

I was in a bad situation with a traffic ticket and Mr. Smith discussed everything with me and my mother and helped calm a lot of our nerves. He was very knowledgeable on my particular subject, walked me through the details. Mr. Smith is an absolutely wonderful man because he didn’t treat us like clientele; he laughed and talked with us like the three of us were long-time friends. I wish I could’ve met him under much less unfortunate circumstances.
