Meet Attorney Courtney Smith

Attorney Courtney Smith is the founder and managing partner of C.H. Smith Law Firm. He was born and raised in Jamaica. His Caribbean heritage and deep community ties shape everything about how this firm serves its clients. He came to Florida and built a legal career focused on one thing: standing up for people who have been hurt by someone else’s negligence.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Attorney Smith has handled car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle injuries, wrongful death cases, rideshare accidents, and complex multi-party personal injury claims throughout Florida. He is not a passive negotiator. Attorney Smith is trial-ready. He takes cases to the courtroom when insurers refuse to offer fair compensation, and that willingness to litigate changes how insurance companies respond to his demands.

Every client at C.H. Smith Law Firm works directly with Attorney Smith. You will not be handed off to a junior associate or a case coordinator. Your attorney will know your file, return your calls, and keep you informed at every stage of your case. He founded this firm because he believed underserved communities in Florida deserved aggressive, high-quality legal representation. That belief drives every case we take.

Why Some Injury Victims Prefer a Black-Owned Personal Injury Firm

Choosing a personal injury attorney is a deeply personal decision. For many injury victims, shared cultural background, communication style, and community connection matter as much as legal credentials.

• Cultural understanding. Attorney Courtney Smith brings a lived perspective that many clients find meaningful. He understands the experiences, concerns, and pressures that members of the Black community often carry into legal situations. That understanding shapes how he communicates, how he listens, and how he builds trust with every client.

• Direct communication. Many clients at large firms feel lost. They do not know who is handling their case. They cannot reach their attorney. C.H. Smith Law Firm operates differently. You have direct access to Attorney Smith from your first call through final resolution.

• Community connection. This firm was built within the Broward County community. Attorney Smith’s ties to the communities he serves are not marketing language. They are the reason he founded this firm and the reason clients refer their families and neighbors to him.

• Personalized service. No two injury cases are identical. Attorney Smith approaches every client’s situation individually. He takes the time to understand what happened, what you need, and what outcome matters most to you.

• Aggressive representation. Cultural connection does not replace legal firepower. Attorney Smith brings nearly two decades of courtroom experience to every case. Insurance companies know he is prepared to fight.

• Truck Accidents — Commercial truck crashes often involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and corporate insurance disputes. We handle the full complexity of these claims.
• Motorcycle Accidents — Riders face disproportionate injury risk and frequent insurance bias. Our motorcycle accident lawyer team fights back against both.
