Black Personal Injury Attorney Houston M. Smith
The importance of empathetic lived experience and representation in law is rarely more important than in cases where you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s negligence. As a personal injury victim, you may have seen many doors close in your face by people thinking that your claim for damages is just a “money grab” and not the legitimate petition for redress of damages that it truly is. If you’ve come to Polchinski & Smith Personal Injury Lawyers because you want something different, you’re in the right place.
Our firm was co-founded by Houston M. Smith, a graduate of Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law (1988). He holds an Associate’s Degree in Science and a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from the University of North Texas (1985). As an undergraduate, Houston was active in the National Pan-Hellenic Community, serving as a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (he is now a lifetime member), and participated in numerous campus activities. It’s here that he began his journey into law, going on to become a lifetime member of the Thurgood Marshall National Alumni Association
He’s often asked why he chose personal injury law instead of pursuing a career in science. Houston’s answer? It’s people. People like you, who have been hurt because someone else didn’t take care of their safety. People like you, whose voice isn’t heard but who desperately need representation and advocacy. As one client notes, “He gets us. He gets me, he knows where I’m coming from, and I feel comfortable knowing that I’m heard, valued, and understood.”
After graduating from law school with his Juris Doctorate, Mr. Smith launched his personal injury career, litigating cases across Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas. Throughout his career, Houston has tried numerous jury trials, achieving verdicts that exceed seven figures.
In 2025, Houston co-founded the Polchinski & Smith Personal Injury Lawyers with partners Ryan Polchinski and Andrew Polchinski, marking a new chapter in his legal career.
