I want to give a shout out to Mr Doug Kingsbury and Lacy Hansen. They are an awesome team. I have some serious things I had to work out in business and they helped me every step of that way. And I truly believe they got me the best outcome possible and I am on the straight and arrow and ready to go forward. Lacey stayed in touch with me and was there from beginning to the end. Thank you guys very much. Anyone that needs real help doesn’t even think about calling someone else.
I was referred to Hill Allen by a colleague in North Carolina to represent the wife of my client, both targets of a federal fraud investigation. Hill quickly agreed to take on the case, mastered it in just a few days, and handled multiple issues flawlessly. He was a pleasure to work with—effective, knowledgeable, and dedicated. Hill is the complete package. While I didn’t see him in front of a jury, I’m confident his smooth Southern charm would win over any juror. Having worked with some of the best trial lawyers, I would rank Hill among them.
Roger Smith and his team did an impeccable job handling my DWI case. This firm has also helped some family’s speeding tickets as well. I highly recommend this law firm.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Tharrington Smith, especially with Melissa Hill. She immediately put me at ease and took the time to understand my case. Her ability to explain complex legal concepts simply was invaluable. Thanks to her guidance, we withdrew the request for a civil hearing, avoiding criminal proceedings. Melissa genuinely cared about my case and was a strong advocate. I highly recommend her and the team at Tharrington Smith!
Russell resolved a complex legal situation with many moving parts in the most professional and respectful manner possible. The sensitive legal matter stemmed from a domestic scenario where the chances of a favorable resolution were not in my favor. He listened carefully, asked all the right questions, and demonstrated a deep understanding of how to navigate the legal system. Mr. Babb was patient, methodical, and highly effective in fully resolving the matter. I had many legal options, but I trusted Russell—and he delivered beyond my expectations. I highly recommend his services for any criminal matter and fully vouch for his effectiveness. You will not be disappointed if you hire Russell Babb as your attorney.
Whether you’re facing misdemeanor charges or federal indictments, Tharrington Smith offers the knowledge, experience, and commitment needed to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome.
