"I am excited to have the opportunity to talk to you about my long time friend and colleague Troy A. Smith. I first met Troy approximately 9 years ago when we were both prosecutors in the District Attorney's Office of Bronx County. Even then Troy distinguished himself as a fearless trial attorney. After rising through the ranks of the District Attorney's Office and prosecuting some of the most serious murder and violent felony cases in the District Attorney’s Office, Troy left to pursue a career in the private sector, helping the less fortunate fight for their rights in the criminal justice system. Troy quickly earned a reputation for his tireless and passionate advocacy on behalf of his clients. Troy’s trial achievements have been undeniable and the results speak for themselves. Recently, I was fortunate enough to see firsthand how Troy has been able to become such a successful criminal defense attorney. Soon after I left my post as legal counsel to the New York City Police Department and started my own firm, Troy and I teamed up to defend a Bronx homicide in the case of the People of the State of New York v. Dale Robertson in which Mr. Robertson was charged with Murder in the Second Degree and Manslaughter in the First and Second Degree. While watching and helping Troy prepare this case it became apparent where his reputation and success comes from. He spent countless hours becoming intimately familiar with not only the facts of the case, but with all of the scientific and expert testimony that would be necessary to win. This preparation and knowledge were abundantly clear during the trial. Troy was able to command the courtroom from the beginning of jury selection to the completion of summations. His ability to skillfully cross-examine witnesses and artfully frame issues for both the judge and the jury were beyond impressive. But perhaps the most remarkable part of the trial for me was Troy’s strong personal bond he formed with our client, Mr. Robertson. Dale clearly placed his trust in Troy, and that trust was rewarded with an acquittal of all the charges by the jury. After the trial, Mr. Robertson gave us both a heart-felt embrace and after speaking to the jury it was obvious that it was Troy’s courtroom performance that had ensured the outcome."
