What Clients Say
Christopher Smith really cared about my case and my best interest he has been there the whole time and always easy to contact. highly recommend!
— Alyssia Moulton
I could not recommend this law firm more. They made the whole process seamless in a situation that seemed hopeless. Chris was great to work with. He went above and beyond for me and my wife and answered all our questions and concerns. No need to look any further, DRS law firm is the way to go.
— Dan Brown
Chris was an incredible resource for me as I initiated a fight regarding the ADA/civil rights with a public university that seemed (at the time) insurmountable. With my personal goal in mind, the DRS firm was willing to do whatever it took to ensure a favorable outcome--notwithstanding financial sacrifice. After a 1.5 year-long fight and lawsuit, we succeeded in attaining our (my) end goal of returning to school. I encourage anyone pursuing legal counsel to reach out to the DRS law firm. Chris, and the entire firm, are as good as it gets with regard to legal team leaders/advocates. I couldn't offer a larger "stamp of approval" if I tried. Highly recommended.
