Brian J. Smith has been practicing criminal defense in Los Angeles for over 30 years...not as a prosecutor, but as a defense attorney. He has successfully defended thousands of cases and hundreds of trial matters. In his long and distinguished career he has defended matters ranging from complex litigation, homicide cases, Federal matters to DUIs and everything in between in Los Angeles County.
He is a breed of defense attorney that will not back down when it comes to fighting for the rights of his clients. He knows when the appropriate time to negotiate and when it is time to go to battle in the courtroom...in front of a jury in Los Angeles.
Since joining the Hedding Law Firm, he has garnered the respect of clients (for his tenacity), judges (for his professionalism and skill) and prosecutors (because they know he has been around the block and has the savvy to win a case!).
