Byron Smith went above and beyond in helping me through a long and challenging Worker's Compensation case. Byron Smith was extremely professional and did not sugar coat the circumstances of my case as I was dealing with a rather rare skin condition that puzzled multiple doctors. Byron Smith was always extremely quick to respond when I had questions or concerns and took the time to explain things in a way I could easily understand. When the insurance company denied my medication Byron Smith promptly fixed the issue and my medication was resumed. I felt valued and cared for as a client of Smith & Baltaxe. Byron Smith also negotiated a settlement that was very pleasing. Exceedingly knowledgeable and professional is how I would describe Byron, he'll help you deal with the games the insurance company plays. Without Byron Smith I would very likely still be suffering the painful symptoms but with his help I have recovered and am doing better than ever. God forbid you have to deal with Worker's Comp but if you do trust Smith & Baltaxe to handle your case. THANK YOU Byron!

I had a consultation with Byron Smith about some of the aspects of my ongoing workers' compensation claim. He gave me a lot of helpful information and insight which I hadn't been able to get elsewhere. I even later had a consultation with another attorney, and Mr. Smith's consultation was far more helpful. When I mentioned the possibility of formal representation for my claim, Mr. Smith had the integrity to tell me that I likely didn't need representation and that I could get the same result on my own (in effect meaning I wouldn't have to give 15% of any payments to an attorney representing me). With how my claim developed, Mr. Smith's insight proved to be right on the mark. If he gives such great information in a consultation, I can only imagine his formal representation must be as good, if not better.

I feel like one of those people in the infomercials, but…when I got injured at work and realized I was going to need a lawyer, I did some research and discovered Smith & Baltaxe. Bernhard Baltaxe took my call and was both compassionate and knowledgeable, so I decided to go with him. And I was not disappointed. He dealt with my employer and the insurance company, which allowed me to focus on my healing. And when it came time to settle, he negotiated an amount that allowed me to bring closure to a very dark time in my life. As such, I’m forever grateful and can’t recommend him enough.

Byron Smith graciously helped evaluate and untangle a complex worker's compensation and disability case, providing crucial background and information that enabled us to file required paperwork on our own. Without his help, we would have proceeded down several dead ends. Although he spent several hours consulting on our behalf, he did so free of charge. Even when offered compensation for his time, Byron would accept no payment. Had our case warranted further legal representation, we would hire him without reservation. Byron impressed us as highly compassionate, ethical, fair, diligent, and competent. Could not ask more from an attorney!

We had a great experience with Byron Smith. He brought calm to an otherwise very stressful situation. We had a difficult case but he still didn't hesitate to take us on as a client. He was always available with answers to my questions throughout the entire process. He advised us as well as listened to us each step of the way. I would definitely recommend him for your workers comp needs.
