Dedicated to Defending What Matters Most.
Because every client deserves an attorney who will fight fiercely and care deeply.
The Law Office of Keisha Smith
Dedicated. Experienced. Here for You.
For more than 25 years, I’ve stood beside individuals and families navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I know what it’s like to face uncertainty in the courtroom, to feel like the system is stacked against you, and to wonder who you can trust. My role, my calling, is to be that trusted advocate who brings calm, strategy, and strength to your corner when everything feels overwhelming.
I began my legal career as a prosecutor, where I learned firsthand how the criminal justice system works from the inside out. That experience has shaped the way I defend my clients today. I don’t just see a charge or a file number, I see a person whose life, reputation, and future are on the line. Over the years, I’ve represented countless clients in criminal cases ranging from misdemeanor theft to capital murder, as well as parents and juveniles facing life-altering legal challenges.
Since 2007, I’ve worked for myself, first as a partner at Owmby & Smith, and now through my own practice based in Houston, Texas. My firm is intentionally small because I believe in giving every client the attention and dedication they deserve. When you hire me, you work directly with me—not an assistant, not a rotating list of associates. You get my full focus, my experience, and my commitment from the first consultation to the final resolution.
A Modern, Personalized Approach
Although I’ve spent decades in the courtroom, my firm operates virtually to meet the needs of today’s clients. I offer fully remote services throughout Harris County and surrounding areas, allowing clients to meet with me from the comfort of their homes. I also meet in person upon request. My goal is to make legal help more accessible, because justice shouldn’t be limited by geography or convenience.
My clients come to me because they know they’ll be heard. I take on a limited number of cases intentionally so that I can dedicate my time to those who truly need my help. Whether we’re discussing a criminal defense strategy, a family law issue, or a juvenile case, you’ll find that my approach is patient, honest, and compassionate. I’m not here to judge; I’m here to guide you toward the best possible outcome.
