Shannon Smith Law, PC - The Unhinged Lawyer

Recognition means something when it is earned in the courtroom.

Selected among the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 for a reason. Strong advocacy. Real results. A reputation built under pressure.

That standard does not change.

Everyone deserves a defense, even when the internet has already decided they’re guilty.

Defending clients means standing beside them, fighting for their rights, and refusing to back down when things get tough. Public opinion doesn’t change that commitment.

Where does responsibility actually end?

No parent can predict everything. Especially what was never foreseeable.

Criminal responsibility is not based on what people wish had been known.

It is based on what actually was.

Criminal defense is not about easy cases.

It is about standing up when the stakes are the highest, and the pressure is intense.

Known for fearlessly defending clients in cases other lawyers won’t touch, she has become the attorney people call when everything is on the line.

Yes. False or mistaken allegations can lead to criminal charges.

This happens more often than people expect, especially in custody disputes or situations involving children.

An accusation alone can trigger an investigation and move a case forward.

Treat it like a real threat from the start.

Out of context, anything can look bad.

A text. A moment. A single piece of evidence pulled on its own.

I can’t wait for election season to end! Henry is over it too!

A candidate running for Michigan’s Attorney General put out false information that Larry Nassar was removed from the Michigan s*x offender registry after a recent Supreme Court decision.

It’s simply untrue, meant to inflame you, and is confusing to media trying to cover the story.

Michigan’s registry includes MICHIGAN residents. Larry Nassar has and always will be registered in the state where he resides. Making the recent Supreme Court ruling sound like the reason he’s not on the Michigan registry is just deceptive!

After 15 years in prison for a life offense, DNA evidence secured a retrial. That was not the end of the fight.

We took on the case, and on the day of retrial, it was dismissed.

Stop trying to "clear things up."

That's the mistake.

When police want to question you, every answer matters. The more you talk, the more opportunities there are for your words to be misunderstood, challenged, or used against you.

You don't get points for explaining yourself.

You protect yourself by getting a lawyer before you say a word.
