By far the best representation I could have ever asked for. Everything was very clear throughout the process with complete satisfaction. I would recommend Christopher Thomas and his team to any and everyone that could use the help. SMT Legal is by far a cut above the rest!!!
- Christopher O.
Christopher Thomas hands down THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN PA. I went to jail and he gave me tremendous legal advice and that got me out of multiple FELONIES. Nothing went further than the preliminary no restitution no probation everything was dropped!!!!! I have been working with Devin and Chris for a few years now and I can confidently say I would never go to anyone else except them!! They vary from civil cases to criminal cases with serious charges. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company & these amazing gentlemen.
- Amanda D.
SMT Legal represented me when three other firms would not take my case. They were proficient, aggressive and compassionate from my intial phone call thru my settlement. They exceeded my expectations and fought for every dollar amount I deserved. I would highly recommend SMT Legal and without hesitation use them again in the future.
