During his career, David has handled every kind of criminal case there is, from traffic tickets to death penalty murder. His track record speaks for itself. Professional credentials matter.
David has not only received all three of the most prestigious awards for criminal defense lawyers in Oklahoma, he's also been privileged to serve on both the faculty of the Trial Lawyers College, teaching other lawyers all over the country how to better serve their clients, and the faculty of the National Judicial College, where he helped develop the curriculum for a multi-disciplinary course on Best Practices in Capital Litigation.

The criminal justice system was designed to be blind and objective. However, the truth is that imperfect, even corrupt, people will prosecute, with the full force of the government, an innocent person. David D. Smith is one attorney you want on your side to present the defense of your innocence. Regardless of your case, the upshot is everyone has a constitutional right to a competent defense. David is a legally brilliant person of compassion. He understands his role and you will be glad that you trusted him. My family respects and loves him.

And in addition to that, who writes something like that then gives two stars!

Nothing but praise for the way he discharged his duties. David recently took home the 2016 Clarence Darrow Award which recognizes the efforts of an individual who has exemplified the zealous criminal defense advocacy that befits the award's namesake. David's judgement regarding his profession as well as his personal life is impeccable. His record speaks for itself. This is a man who aims to serve others in the
