About Smyth & Cioffi, LLP

Experienced. Proven. Effective.

Leaders in the legal profession.  Listed within the 2010 edition of the US News Best Lawyers, Smyth & Cioffi is recognized among the Tier 1 law firms in Raleigh, North Carolina in insurance law and plaintiff's personal injury litigation.  In addition, our attorneys often speak on topics such as insurance bad faith and automobile injury claims at continuing education seminars throughout North Carolina to an audience of their peers. 

A cross-disciplinary advantage.  No matter who is at fault in an accident, the most important aspect of dealing with an injury is getting paid enough to keep up with monthly bills and expenses.  Insurance matters are often on the top of the list of issues to address after a personal injury.  At the law office of Smyth & Cioffi, we bring together a team of attorneys who are skilled in handling personal injury claims and insurance litigation—allowing our clients to deal with a range of issues through a single law firm.

Conscientious of patient care.  With our firm, a client's health is our top priority.  While we never pay for a medical opinion, we can advise you on how to seek the reputable medical care from physicians who are qualified to assess your condition.  While our firm can conduct more detailed credential verifications, we also recommend that our injured clients research their own doctors using publicly available license searches.

Advanced technology.  Trial presentation requires lawyers to explain technical details to an impaneled jury of non-expert decision makers.  Our firm is familiar with the process of putting together exhibits with the assistance of doctors, accident reconstruction experts and other esteemed professionals who can adequately convey a likely version of events.  We work closely with these experts to illustrate the ideas they seek to convey.
