    Fernando Was Amazing
    Fernando was amazing! He worked with me for a year with minimal work on my end. Highly recommend!
    Emily Dreimiller
    Always Receive Great Representation
    I always receive great representation from them, no matter the circumstances. Fernando did a great job representing me on this case, which was an extremely sensitive matter since things didn’t look good for me at the beginning. However, with the help of Fernando, we were able to turn things around and receive a favourable outcome I didn’t think was actually possible at the beginning of the case. Very thankful to the whole firm for the representation and the hard work they gave me for this matter.

    I can’t thank this law firm enough for the outstanding work they did on my case. They were professional, honest, and supportive during a stressful time. They explained every step clearly and made sure I understood my options. In the end, they successfully got my case dismissed!!!! And I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication and expertise. Steve Zimmerman never gave up and fought hard for me and stood by my side the whole time. Again, I want to thank the team at Smith and Vinson! Steve Zimmerman, Annie, and Brad!!!! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs strong legal representation!
    Nick C
    Smith & Vinson Law Firm truly helped me
    Smith & Vinson Law Firm truly helped me out when I needed it most. I didn’t live in Austin, and I was never aware there were charges against me until I got pulled over and found out about a case from years earlier. I had no idea what I was being charged with, and it was a stressful situation. As soon as I contacted Smith & Vinson, they took control, moved quickly, and guided me through the process step by step. They worked hard on my behalf and helped get my case reduced from what could have been a felony down to a misdemeanor. I’m grateful for their professionalism, communication, and dedication, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal help.

    We Are Very Pleased With the Representation
    Whew. Glad that is over and extra glad that Charles Falck was with me! We are very pleased with the representation provided for my son and his involvement with the Travis County juvenile justice system. Charlie was with us the whole way and was a great advocate for my son with the prosecutors. We are happy with the outcome of my son's charges.
    Sam Anderson
    I Would Absolutely Use Their Services Again
    My lawyer, Charles Falck, handled everything that needed to be handled. He was thorough in handling the case. He made sure to address each and every concern and provided follow-up answers to questions that I had for my son’s case. The price point was also very favorable. I would absolutely use their services if need be in the future.

    People You Can Trust

    Oscar Diaz-Vallejo
    Truly Dedicated to the Best Outcome
    I absolutely could not have found a more knowledgeable and dedicated law firm to represent me in my DWI case. I felt as if I was their only client. Every step of the way, the communication was clear and honest; every text and email answered promptly and professionally. Brad, Jarrod, Steve, and Annie walked me every step of the way through the legal process. A DWI is serious and I needed and wanted the best representation possible. Steve was honest, upfront, and tireless in handling every aspect of my case. The entire firm was truly dedicated to achieving the very best outcome for me, and I am very grateful that I had them on my side. A very heartfelt thank you to Steve and Annie!
    James Kinnas
    I Just Got Dismissed on My Case
    I just got dismissed on my case this morning. All the effort and support and help from Steve and other staff greatly helped me. I highly recommend this firm if you got DWI.
    Justin Hong
    Two serious violent felonies dismissed
    My experience wasn’t perfect. However, my family called them while I was still in jail and hadn’t seen a judge yet. I didn’t end up having to see a judge at all because I believe Mrs. Pamela handled all that. I skipped the line and signed my bail with her right there. I got two serious violent felonies dismissed by the prosecutor. I physically appeared to court for about 6–8 months but never had to stand in front of the judge. My lawyer Fernando also skipped that line. He just spoke with the prosecutor, and we rescheduled (that was a relief for me). Also, around the holidays, Jarrod allowed my family to lower the payments. With all that being said, although my experience wasn’t perfect, 5 stars are still well deserved.
    Marlon Morales
    Handled My Case Very Well
    Handled my case very well and actually had it done quicker than I was told it would be by numerous people. Very professional, very good at their work, they’re like the Volvo of law firms here in the Austin area.
    Connor Hein
    Extremely Satisfied With the Outcome
    I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and the overall experience working with the Smith & Vinson Law Firm. They were able to get my DWI completely dismissed and removed from my record, which was an enormous relief. From start to finish, the process was straightforward and stress-free. The team was responsive, professional, and very easy to work with. They also offered flexible payment options, which made a difficult situation much more manageable. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing knowledgeable and reliable legal representation.
    Anthony Foster
    Case Dismissed and Excellent Service
    Fernando from Smith & Vinson handled my case and got it dismissed. Very happy with their service. Clear communication from the beginning to end by Pamela.

    Simply the Best
    We recently worked with this exceptional personal injury law firm, and attorneys Brad Vinson and Jarrod Smith truly exceeded all our expectations with their outstanding professionalism, compassion, and expertise. From the initial consultation—where the warm, attentive staff listened patiently and explained everything clearly—to the dedicated work of Brad and Jarrod, along with their skilled paralegals, who handled every detail with precision, thoroughness, and proactive communication, the entire team made a challenging situation feel manageable and supported. They fought tirelessly with integrity and skill, keeping us informed every step of the way, and delivered a resolution that truly represented the justice we deserved. If you’re seeking a firm that combines top-tier legal talent with genuine care and remarkable results, we wholeheartedly recommend Brad Vinson, Jarrod Smith, and their team—they’re simply the best!
    Shai Lattner
    My Case Was Dismissed. Charges Gone.
    I cannot recommend Attorneys Brad and Fernando highly enough. They represented me during one of the most stressful periods of my life, and from the beginning they had my back. Great communication, very responsive to my questions. They spent countless extra hours reviewing evidence, digging into the details, and building the strongest possible defense. I've dealt with many attorneys, and none have come close to the level of dedication Brad and Fernando showed. Thanks to their hard work and skill, my case was dismissed. Charges gone. Record clean. Life back. If you’re facing criminal charges and want someone who will fight like heck for you, hire them!
    Kevin
    He fought for me when I felt like giving up
    I cannot thank this law firm enough for the incredible support and representation they gave me. Around the time I called Smith and Vinson Law Firm, I suddenly found myself facing a handful of new responsibilities on top of everything I was already dealing with. As a college student with big goals, the pressure and uncertainty brought a lot of anxiety into my day-to-day life, and I often felt completely overwhelmed. From day one, Charles Falck made me feel truly seen and reminded me that I deserved to win. He understood the weight I was carrying and never once overlooked it. Instead, he kept my situation and my goals in mind every single step of the way. There was one moment in my case that changed everything. I was ready to sign a plea deal, believing it was my only option. But right before I spoke to the judge, Charles stepped in and quickly had the court date reset. He told me he had found something important—something worth fighting for. At the next court date, it was clear just how much time, research, and effort he had invested. He came fully prepared, knowing every detail and approach that could help me. His dedication went above and beyond, and because of that hard work, my case was ultimately dismissed. What meant the most to me was that he didn’t take the easy route. He could have let me sign the plea deal and moved on, but he genuinely cared. He fought for me when I felt like giving up, and he made sure my future and goals were protected. I am endlessly grateful for Charles and the entire law firm. Pamela Murillo made sure to keep me updated and reminded of any new events. They gave me a second chance and helped me regain confidence during one of the hardest times of my life. I highly recommend them to anyone, they will fight for you every step of the way.
    Paige Elizabeth
    They really handled my case very well.
    This firm is very good in providing all the details from start to end, and they have a one-on-one portal open for the specific case and all the details will be shared, and questions will be answered. They really handled my case very well and got the dismissal in less than 3 months. Charles Falck was exceptional in expediting my dismissal process. Pamela Murillo was exceptional in providing all the answers throughout the process. For my case they are 5/5.
