Very professional! I'd say one of the best lawyers in the state of CT! I am very pleased with the outcome. He was very up front with me about what might happen and realistic never promised me anything he wasn't sure he could make happen. I recommend him to everyone as long as you do everything asked of you and are honest and up front he has your best interests at heart. A kind man and very understanding. I feel like I can finally take a breath of relief thanks to everything he did for me. Every penny spent was worth it to know I can have peace of mind for me and my family's future. Exceptional lawyer! Kevin Smith is one of the best.

Kevin Smith is the best of the best in criminal defense. He’s a true advocate who cares about your future, explains options clearly, and stays in touch. His unmatched preparation, calm courtroom presence, and genuine empathy led to a result that exceeded my expectations. If you need a top-tier attorney, choose Kevin Smith.

Kevin, I am very proud to have you in Ct where i reside. I saw the trail with Mr. Valle and like you in tears for all that has happened. The jury got this right. I am not to happy with the state on a refile and I will write to them regarding this. This trail would have been much larger if it wasn't for Diddy and Karen Read cases ending same time. I am a law nerd.. Glad i caught you in action and loved your interview this week. Great Job! Mr. Valle go out there and so something great with you life.

I watched most of the CT v Valle case on court tv and wanted to shout out to you for saving a kid who would have otherwise been sent away for the rest of his life, just because of an overzealous racist prosecution and because he made some bad choices, including trying to help a friend, DaSilva, and because he was unable to understand the consequences of accepting the knife from Snyder, who may have given him the knife to get revenge for the damage done to his car. You out-lawyered the prosecuting attorney who was smug, unprofessional in his closing and who misrepresented the facts. Using cross you showed how those kids were coached by the state and how their testimony was self-serving. Kudos to you and to the jury who saw through it all and did the right thing. Thank god there are lawyers like you out there doing justice for vulnerable people like Raul Valle. It made me feel like there is justice, at least in this situation.

Watched you from West Texas in the Raul Valle case. You did a great job and the outcome was great. Love tge way you handled jury, the judge and the prosecutor. You are a great attorney. Conneticutt is lucky to have you. God bless you always.

Watched the entirety of the Raul Valle trial and attorney Kevin Smith was beyond superb. He was extremely persuasive and clear about the events that occurred on that tragic night. He has a gift of being able to explain the complexities of the law in such an absorbable way for your average juror. I’m a current law student and I aspire to be the type of litigator that attorney Smith exemplifies. Attorney Smith is a rare breed and I highly recommend that people in Connecticut seek him out if they are confronted with charges from the State. 10/10 Mr. Smith. Well done!

I live in Iowa, but I watched the Raul Valle trial on television. Great job! If I ever feel like I want to get in some kind of trouble I will move to Connecticut to do it so I can hire you as my attorney. You defended Raul in the best way. I watched it all and the jury got it right. You could literally see the relief and stress leave Raul's body when he was found not guilty. I'm so glad you won.

Stands up for the underdog. Doesn't take the easy way out by pushing an innocent client to take a plea deal. Professional, skilled, and thoroughly prepared in the courtroom.

What a superb job he did for the young man accused of murder. His presence in the courtroom provided a context rarely seen anywhere in today's world. A calm demeanor and a well thought out plan that permeated the experience of those present. Grateful to have tuned in to Court tv. Excellence is always worth watching and sometimes found in unexpected places.

Congratulations Kevin and Raul!! Jury got it right! Mr. smith, you are calm, cool and collected. Your tone is a great thing, no need to yell at the prosecution witnesses, you knew exactly what you were doing. You are one of the best defense attorneys I ever witnessed!

I may be misusing this feature because I've never had Mr. Smith as an attorney. But the five stars is deserved. What a masterclass three-plus years capped off with the last three weeks. Legitimately one of the best jobs I've ever seen... what an absolute professional. I know who would be my first call for myself or a family member.

Watching the trial of Raul Valle, I'm sorry for the death and injuries to those involved.. Congratulations on behalf of Mr Valle, hopefully now this young man can move forward with his life..I wish him the best..I had a problem with the immunity of the others and the fact he was protecting himself and a friend..I'm 68 and I'd to this day defend myself and those close.. Awesome Attorney
