“As A Criminal Defense Trial Lawyer, Nothing Is More
Satisfying Than Hearing A Verdict Of ‘Not Guilty’
Announced In Open Court.” J. Layne Smith
J. Layne Smith is an AV rated criminal defense
lawyer. He has been a practicing member of the Florida Bar
for over 18 years. Mr. Smith is a founding partner of Smith,
Brooks & Masterson, P. L., located at 2629 Mitcham Drive,

lawyer in state and federal courts throughout Florida. Mr.
Smith believes that the best defense is a good offense.
He provides his clients with a tough, smart, and aggressive
criminal defense, whether that calls for the diplomatic
negotiation of a plea, or trying the case through a jury’s
verdict.
Criminal defense trial work requires preparation, persistence,
and passion. It is a criminal defense lawyer's job to protect
the client, take the fight to the accuser, and to look out
for the client’s best interests. Most trials are won
by effective cross-examination.
