In October of 2009, Mr. Smith was elected to membership in the American Board of Trial Advocates. ABOTA membership is conferred through a process of nomination and election, and is reserved for lawyers who have demonstrated "the requisite skill, integrity and experience in the special art of advocacy." In 2012 Mr. Smith was elected President of the Southwest Ohio Trial Lawyers Association.
Cases involving injuries from things like a car crash, unsafe property conditions, medical malpractice or other "negligence" are called "tort" actions. The first ten years of Mr. Smith's practice involved representing the defendants in those cases. The "defendant" in a civil action is a person or business that caused an injury, and then was sued in court. This type of defense practice is generally financed and controlled by insurance companies and other large corporations. less
