The Smith Appellate Law Firm

Protecting a hard-won trial victory.  Overturning an adverse judgment. 

Laying the groundwork for a successful trial. 

Or winning without ever having to have one.

These are things an appellate attorney does.  And in Michigan, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Arizona, and courts around the country, nobody does them more effectively, or efficiently, than Michael F. Smith.  

The Smith Appellate Law Firm concentrates on appellate litigation, trial-level motion and brief review, and tactical and strategic trial consulting.  Combining a decade of experience as the lead appellate litigator for a major Michigan law firm with the flexibility, creativity and lean efficiency of a boutique, Mike leaves no detail overlooked en route to a singular goal: maximizing your chances for success on appeal.
