The Law Offices of Smith & White, PLLC - Tacoma Criminal Defense Lawyers

The law office of Smith and White has been a godsend for us. After speaking with Attorney James, he graciously agreed to provide support with my husband's case, allowing us to feel more at ease. I have complete confidence in Attorney James, who always addresses our questions and offers guidance that prioritizes our well-being. I highly recommend their office to anyone needing legal support.

The Law Office of Smith & White were amazing throughout my case. Mr. White was always on time for my hearings and I rarely had to appear. Mr. White put me at ease with my situation and every time I called the office even with the most ridiculous questions, Maria and Danely were very kind and helpful. I would recommend their office to anyone looking for legal help. Thank you guys for all of your help.

The Law Offices of Smith & White, will always be my go-to legal team with any criminal law related matter. I have had the opportunity to not only retain Derek Smith, but refer him to others as well. Each and every time Mr. Smith was responsive, honest and articulate in communicating with myself and others. The members of his firm, are equally proficient in communicating promptly and efficiently and valued not only my time but my finances as well.

It's very good work, they help you with translators if you're Latino. I liked the work, highly recommended.

I can only say that this interaction was simple, direct, and painless. I dreaded the bureaucracy of it all when I reached out to them on a stellar referral from another attorney. I was not disappointed! The communication, clear explanations and kindness of the staff was impressive. I even received a nice birthday email during the process. I would reccomend them highly with no reservations.

James White and his paralegal Danely Bravo, did a fantastic job handling me and my case through a stressful time. I cannot speak highly enough of everything they did. If you ever have a family law matter in the Puget Sound, contact them. Thanks to them, everything I need taken care of in a timely fashion and I got possession of all the things that really mattered to me.

Utilized Derek’s services 2x and had excellent results. They are so punctual, supportive and professional. I consulted with a handful of attorneys prior to selecting Smith& White, but once I spoke to Derek I knew there was no comparison, I had found a great representative. I could tell he understood my case as an attorney but also a fellow human, and that dose of empathy told me he would be able to defend me fully (and significantly better than attorneys who would take the case and my money but might internally hold the view I should be charged too). I would highly recommend this practice. Going with them has preserved my record and rights.

My family and I had a legal issue come up, Derek and the team handled it with professionalism and care. He guided us through every step of the process and communicated everything in a timely manner. We’re very grateful for their kindness and efficiency. They definitely helped ease the stress during a difficult time.

Derrik Smith and his staff are true experienced professionals who were successful in clearing up a Twenty year old besmirchment that was found on my background report. I was very pleased and would recommend them highly !!

They took care of my exspungment very quickly and at a great price. Thank you Smith & White.

Wonderful firm. They helped me get my records vacated and my gun rights back. Very precessional and great to work with. Highly recommend.

I am an attorney that has collaborated with the Law Offices of Smith and White on numerous matters and not only are they exceptionally well prepared, but they are also compassionate, kind, and highly respected by judges and prosecutors.

They completed their agreed service and earned the agreed fees. Mr. White even went out of his way to get the charges dropped early, long after they completed the case.

I reached for guidance and a direction of representation for a no contact order. The firm went way above and beyond representing me. Not only was the case dismissal completed, but James stood beside me through everything. Making sure everything was resolved and standing by your side. This is a firm that will go above and beyond to stand beside there client and do whatever is need to resolve and represents them.

This group has been very good and professional for. Thorough, smart and hard working.

Being wrapped up in the criminal justice system puts us in a position that having someone to trust is critical. After having spent so much of my life wrapped up in it i didnt think anyone involed in "The System" would treat me fair let alone be trusted. Derrick Smith is the Angel that changed that thought and provided me with the blessing God sent for me. From arraignment to the judge reading we the people...... and then her saying Mr. Oster you are free to go, Mr. Smiths constant 'Its gonna be fine (even though i didnt believe him) was by my side. They are a pressence in the courtroom and respect was shown to me because they represented me. thanx Guys

Mr.white did everything In His power to make sure he would beat my case and strived to do so.
