Debbie Smith

As a partner at Smith & Smith Law Group, PLLC, Debbie brings an invaluable legal background and perspective.  She spent 8 years prosecuting criminals as Dallas County Assistant District Attorney, where she gained extensive trial experience.  In 2013, Debbie founded the Law Office of Deborah Smith, where her primary focus was on family law.  During this time, she helped countless individuals throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area find satisfactory resolutions to complex family law cases, including the valuation of a business, professional practices and complex real estate issues, as well as determine income and high conflict custody issues. 

​

Debbie understands that going through a divorce is often one of the most difficult times in a person’s life.  That is why she offers her clients more than just quality legal counsel- she offers compassionate guidance and respect, while passionately pursuing an expedient and advantageous outcome. 

 

 

In 2015, Debbie became a partner at How, Frels, Duke and Smith, P.C.  where she expanded her practice areas to include civil litigation, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in complex matters. Although Debbie is 100% committed to negotiating the best deal for all of her clients, she is always “trial ready”, which has the potential to make a huge impact on a client’s case, whether family or civil.  Debbie finds no greater reward than seeing the firm’s work result in positive outcomes for its clients.
