Maura C. Smith handled my insurance claim case with a solid understanding of the law, and her recognition by Best Lawyers in Insurance Law gave me confidence. However, while she was thorough in her analysis, communication was inconsistent—sometimes responses took longer than expected. The case resolution was fair, but I felt like there could have been more transparency about timelines and potential outcomes. Her expertise was evident, especially in navigating complex policy language, but the experience could have been smoother with better follow-through. A competent attorney, but I'd hope for more proactive updates in the future.

Maura C. Smith demonstrated a strong grasp of insurance law, particularly when handling my complex commercial property claim. Her education from the University of Pennsylvania and her recognition by Best Lawyers in Insurance Law gave me confidence in her expertise. However, while she was thorough in reviewing my case, there were delays in her responses that could have been avoided with better time management. Additionally, I found that her explanations of legal processes were sometimes overly technical, making it difficult for me to fully understand the details. While I appreciated her knowledge in insurance disputes, I wish the communication had been more streamlined. Overall, a competent attorney, but not the most responsive or client-focused.

Stephanie Stewart
I worked with Maura C. Smith of Riker Danzig LLP on an insurance dispute case, and while she was clearly knowledgeable in the field, there were some areas that left me wanting more. Her expertise in insurance law, as recognized by Best Lawyers, was evident in her approach to the case, and she handled the legal nuances with confidence. However, communication was sometimes delayed, and I found myself waiting longer than expected for responses to my questions. The case was resolved satisfactorily, but I would have appreciated more proactive updates on the timeline and next steps. While her legal acumen is undeniable, particularly in the areas of insurance and general practice, the overall experience felt somewhat impersonal. For those needing an attorney with strong technical skills but less attention to communication, she may still be a solid choice. A bit more responsiveness and personal touch would have justified a higher rating.
