Jarrod L. Smith

Jarrod Smith is a relentless force in Texas personal injury and civil rights law, recognized as one of the state's top trial attorneys. A former associate judge and prosecutor, Jarrod brings unmatched legal expertise and a fierce commitment to his clients, earning him a coveted spot as a Texas Super Lawyer — a distinction awarded to only 2.5% of attorneys statewide. Over his career, Jarrod has recovered millions of dollars for injured Texans in auto accidents, trucking collisions, premises liability incidents, and other catastrophic events. He brings the same aggressive, trial-ready approach to every personal injury case that made him one of the most effective attorneys in the state — because insurance companies and defense lawyers respond to attorneys who aren't afraid of a courtroom. Jarrod's legal career is built on a foundation of excellence. He graduated with high honors from the University of Houston and was ranked in the top 20% of his class at South Texas College of Law Houston (STCL). At STCL, Jarrod was an assistant to the editor-in-chief of the South Texas Law Review. Jarrod has served in pivotal roles at both the state and federal levels. As an assistant district attorney at the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office, he gained invaluable courtroom experience. He also clerked for the Harris County District Attorney's Office, the Harris County Public Defender's Office, and the United States Attorney's Office, developing a deep understanding of litigation strategy and federal law. That prosecutorial background now fuels Jarrod's personal injury and civil rights practice. He knows how institutions build their cases — and he knows how to take them apart. Whether he is going after a trucking company that put a dangerous driver on the road, holding a city accountable for violating someone's rights, or challenging a doctor hired by the insurance company to downplay a client's injuries, Jarrod brings the precision and courtroom instincts of a seasoned trial lawyer to every case.
