About Us
At Smith & Jones Law, we take the time to listen to our clients and work hard to get the legal results they deserve. We have over twenty-five years of combined experience, and we know that each client deserves personalized and prompt legal service. When you call Smith & Jones Law, you will talk directly to a lawyer.
Being lawyers provides us with the opportunity to help others and to make a difference for those in need. People are often hurt through no fault of their own. You may be faced with not only devastating injuries, but also with the corresponding medical bills and lost wages due to not being able to work, and with the emotional stress and scars from being injured. We take pride in helping clients understand their rights and will work diligently to get you fairly compensated for what has happened. We are on your side. We believe in making those who refuse to take responsibility for their actions accountable.

Being a military dependent provided Bill the opportunity to interact with people of varying backgrounds and cultures. These experiences helped him to understand the importance of communicating with and understanding others. He takes pride in communicating with his clients and in understanding their needs and everything they are going through so that he may better serve them as their attorney. His family taught him the meaning of discipline and hard work, which he now applies in his practice of serving others.
