Appellate Law

Two Years and Counting

By D. Todd Smith

This past Saturday marked the second anniversary of my law firm.  My sentiments today are much the same as when I wrote this post marking the first year:

One year ago today, I departed big firm life to start my own appellate boutique—if you can call one lawyer a boutique!  The result has exceeded my expectations in almost every way.  While I am grateful for the opportunities I had at Fulbright & Jaworski and the excellent experience I obtained there, my current practice is a much better fit for my personality and work style, and it is also better for my family (although my wife would say that I don't work any less).  Special thanks to all the folks who have referred cases to me or hired me over the past year.  Without you, I wouldn't be posting this message.

I am fortunate to continue working on a number of interesting matters with great clients who are also really great people.  In this day and age, that makes all the difference in the world.

I remain thankful to those who have sent me referrals or retained me to work alongside them on their own cases this past year.  The continued success of my practice depends on these existing relationships and on developing new ones.  If you have a matter that could use the attention of an appellate specialist, please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss how I can help.
