The staff at Tharrington Smith joins with the rest of the North Carolina legal community to mourn the passing of Roger W. Smith, Sr. Not only was Roger a brilliant criminal defense attorney who spent over 50 years serving clients with our firm, but also a gifted writer, a skilled athlete, and a beloved friend. Our thoughts are with his children, Kim and Roger Jr., and the rest of his family during this time of grief. To read more about Roger’s remarkable life and career, we invite you to read his obituary, composed by his brother and Tharrington Smith co-founder Wade Smith.
