      Biography

      Personal Background:

      Steven R. Smith was born in Queens, New York and has lived in Queens County, Kings County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. After receiving an undergraduate and masters degree in Psychology, he went on to obtain a law degree from Prestigious "St. John's University School of Law." He has given back to students there by serving as a "mock trial" Judge and hired interns to learn about the practicalities of law.

      Steven started his career learning insurance personal injury defense, working for one of the most prestigious defense firms in New York. He thereafter worked for one of the finest Plaintiff's personal injury medical malpractice firms in New York before opening his own personal injury practice over twenty years ago, The Law Office of Steven R. Smith, handling only cases for people who have been injured in an accident or through medical malpractice.

      While some law firms pride themselves in starting a lot of law suits, Steven knows that the clients don't want law suits; they want settlements. Steven works hard to put their case in a great position to be settled because he knows what factors the insurance company's look for and value and is therefore able to settle most cases without costly and time consuming litigation.

        I have known Steven for many years. I first met him when I was a defense counsel. He always had good cases and was a formidable adversary. More recently, I was an arbitrator and/or mediator on several of his cases. Steve’s cases were quality cases and his presentation was excellent. Given my numerous interactions with Steven, I would not hesitate to recommend him as your attorney.
