Matthew D. Smith

As an associate litigation attorney, I work closely with Buckingham partners to support businesses and institutions in Northeast Ohio through intricate legal matters and transactions.  I have a passion for practicing law and finding resolutions to complex issues for my clients. Having worked for two federal district court judges, I have a unique perspective on what it takes to effectively advocate on behalf of my clients.

I believe clients are best served by a lawyer who takes the time to truly listen to their concerns and generate creative resolutions to those concerns. I strive to keep my clients informed through every step of the process to ensure the client is never kept in the dark. I work together with my clients to achieve their objectives in an efficient and effective manner.

Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, I understand and appreciate how important a client’s business is to them. As a result, I will work tirelessly to ensure every client’s goals are adequately taken care of.
