Mr. Stansell and Ms. Helen were great with solving my accident claim. They kept me informed about every step they made and never tried to push me into anything that I didn't want to do. They answered all questions I had so that I clearly understood everything. Mr. Stansell worked with my insurance and Dr. offices to help get me the most money that he could. I highly recommend Smith and Hassler for their patience, understanding, professionalism, and determination on settling my claim.

My lawyer Daragh Carter was very understanding and professional. He listened to my needs and personal issues I had going on and advised me accordingly. Thanks to his professional guidance and advice everything he told me about my case and how it would work out came true.

I had a trip and fall accident ... I ended up here because they were the only lawfirm in Houston area that I personally had reached out to and were opened and concerned about my case! Here I am 2 1/2 years later (covid helped prolong) ... the whole firm is very professional and has great communication! I highly recommend them. My attorney at the end was Cordell and I feel like God gave me him as a blessing! He fought for me! He made sure I was taken care of! All around blessed. THANK YOU GUYS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!

I simply can't say enough good things about the law firm of Smith and Hassler, and particularly about Daragh Carter. My daughter and son-in-law were seriously injured two years ago in an automobile accident. Because of my daughter and son-in-law's injuries, it became the responsibility of her sister, father and myself to research and initially interview lawyers on their behalf. We were fortunate to find two law firms that stood out, but Daragh was ultimately who we all chose to trust. We have never for a moment regretted that decision. His representation on their behalf was unmatched

I have been very pleased with the office staff and excellent legal work on my behalf. I have received support with navigating my claim and injuries, as well as excellent communication from Daragh Carter and his team. Without their help, I would have paid thousands of dollars to get the medical treatment I needed. Thank you, Smith & Hassler!

Smith & Hassler is an exceptional law firm. All of the attorneys are great mentors. Attorney Brent Cordell has taught me more than most of my law professors at University of Houston Law Center, followed closely by Attorneys Daragh Carter and Brian Stansell. Attorney Daragh Carter is not only an attorney at Smith & Hassler but was also an adjunct professor at University of Houston Law Center. Attorney Brian Stansell imparts a wealth of knowledge learned on both sides of litigation. I am grateful for the exceptional contributions of Maura Montalvo, Angelica Lazo, Stephanie Medrano and the

I selected S&H to represent me after a motor vehicle collision in 2013 where I was rear ended. Daragh Carter was assigned to my case and from the very start it was clear that he was 100% focused on guiding me through the process and ensuring that the outcome would cover all my medical bills and damages. Every exchange with Daragh and his team was always very pleasant and compassionate, including checking up on me as I had to have procedures done on my back.
After an initial settlement, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had continued to push on my case and I received a final settlement
