Seth Smiley is the owner of Smiley Law Firm.

Seth was involved in a tragic auto accident when he was young that taught him many lessons on how respected lawyers should act. The accident discussed in more detail in his book, Smiley’s Guide to MAXIMIZING YOUR Personal Injury Claim.
Seth is a proud husband (wife Jennifer) and father (sons Jude & Luke). Seth and his family reside in uptown New Orleans. As an active member of the community, Seth Smiley served as a board member of his local Audubon Riverside Neighborhood Association, and he is also a small business owner and landlord.

The courtroom often leaves too many variables to chance and can strangle a client’s pocketbook.
