Gregory A. "Greg" Smith

Skilled and dedicated advocate for tribal matters

Our tribal council engaged Greg Smith at Hobbs, Straus, Dean & Walker for a complex consultation regarding our rights under a federal statute. While his official experience is listed as two years, his deep understanding of the field, honed over a long career since his Cornell J.D., was immediately evident. He expertly navigated the intricacies of federal-tribal relations with a strategic mind that belies a simple year count. His recognition in Native American Law is well-deserved; he provided comprehensive analysis of our position and drafted compelling arguments that reflected both legal precision and cultural respect. The outcome was favorable and has strengthened our nation's standing. The only slight drawback was that during peak periods, response times from his office could stretch a bit, which added some anxiety to an already high-stakes situation. However, when we did connect, his attention was complete and his counsel invaluable. I would confidently recommend Mr. Smith to any tribe or Native organization in the DC area seeking knowledgeable and principled representation.
