Caroline J. Smith & Associates, PC

"My passion for housing law is based on the foundation for serving the public which my father developed in my childhood. Landlords are the economic building blocks in our communities. Landlords, who maintain their properties in compliance with the local building codes and provide quality housing for families who are not capable of owning their own homes, help to increase property values and promote safe and secure neighborhoods.

Tenants drive the demand for housing in the city. A tenant's willingness to secure housing stock and to send their children to local schools are the individual building blocks to our communities. No tenant should live in a home that fails to comply with the local building codes.

As a law student at Georgetown University, I focused on public interest law. Today, I represent Landlords and defend Tenants in both commercial and residential evictions. My firm has handled over 7,500 eviction defense cases during my 26 year career.

Caroline J Smith and Associates handles residential and commercial closings, commercial lease negotiations, residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance prosecution and defenses, illegal lockout cases, property damage cases, building code violation cases, condominium association cases and security deposit cases. We prepare termination of tenancy notices and demand letters for return of security deposits and for repair of problems in unit.

Our of counsel and strategic partners handle family law, civil rights, collections, bankruptcy, employment discrimination and personal injury. We are a locally owned business. Call Caroline J Smith and Associates for your legal needs and concerns."
