Highly Recommend - Professional, Compassionate, and Responsive Team!
“I had a very positive experience working with Smith and Vinson Law Firm. Jarrod and his paralegal, Paloma, were very organized, professional, responsive, and kept me informed throughout the process. Jarrod is very knowledgeable and experienced, and I especially appreciate his thoughtful consideration and genuine compassion during a very traumatic personal injury time.
Jarrod was always accessible and prompt whenever I had questions or when matters needed attention, which made a meaningful difference throughout the process.
Everything was handled with care and attention to detail, and I would highly recommend Jarrod and his team.

Case Dismissed Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Our client, a retired Marine, was out with some friends one night when he got into a fight at a gas station. He allegedly pulled out a knife and left the scene. Moments later, law enforcement pulled him over. He was charged with misdemeanor DWI, felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and two counts of felony Terroristic Threat.
Charges Reduced Intoxication Assault Causing Serious Bodily Injury
Our client was charged with 5 Felony Counts including Intoxication Assault causing Serious Bodily Injury after being involved in a vehicle/pedicab accident that injured 3 people, one with life-threatening injuries. The arresting agency obtained a blood search warrant from our client and he was facing 5 felony counts.
Case Dismissed Theft
Our client was allegedly caught shoplifting at an HEB. She had no prior arrest history, so we worked with her on proactively taking classes, which were used to her advantage during our negotiations. The client accepted a deferred adjudication on the shoplifting offense, which was ultimately dismissed.
