I am Board Certified in Criminal Law Texas Board of Legal Specialization, I can tell you this, I am a very proud graduate of the Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming and very, very few lawyers have ever graduated from there. I am a lawyer who knows how to listen and then tell your story to the jury. I prefer going to trial for my clients rather than plea bargin them out. I practiced in Houston and around the country for over 27 years and know criminal and civil law quite well, but I'm mostly interested in jury trials for my clients. A monkey can plea bargain, but a real trial lawyer is an artist. Do you want a jury trial? Then call me.. Remember, whatever lawyer you choose, just be comfortable with him or her and look for a real person, not a fancy dressed up $10.00 nag with a $5, saddle, it's better to have a thoroughbred with a $10.00 saddle. I can only hope that your lawyer listens to you and not to what he or she wants. Paul J. Smith Lawyer
