Bryan P. Smith

Bryan Smith is a trial-tested attorney who brings deep courtroom experience and a practical, client-focused approach to every case. He helps people who have been injured in accidents or harmed by someone else’s negligence, and he also defends clients facing criminal charges—from misdemeanors such as drunk driving and theft to serious felonies involving drugs, dealing, and violent offenses. With dozens of jury trials and suppression hearings behind him, Bryan understands criminal procedure and narcotics investigations in detail. Before entering private practice, he spent seven years in the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, including five years focused on major felony drug and gun cases. He left in 2022 as supervisor of the narcotics unit and director of the Metro Drug Task Force. He also served as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Johnson County, handling felony cases from filing through trial. That prosecutorial background helps him anticipate the state’s strategy and pursue the best path forward through negotiations, motions, or trial.
