DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER

This lawyer will mess with your girlfriend as soon as you’re in jail. He’s a slum lawyer who thinks he’s something special. That man will take your money and give you the run around for months/years. His reviews speak for themselves !

Two words ( A Joke )

Mr.Smith is a joke and a disgrace to the criminal justice system of America his credentials have no stamina and it shows with the mediocre service he provides to his customers. My cousin career been on hold because of this case Mr.Smith took on ! And I really am disgusted that it’s going on year 3 wi...th him giving my cousin the run around about his case and further pushing the case back multiple times. NOT ONLY THAT Mr.Smith fails to keep my cousin updated about the case and plays ghost once he is paid in full .. if you want someone to take your case seriously this is not the lawyer for you because all you will get is clown activity because Mr.Smith obviously is in the wrong field he belongs in the circus. My cousin has been patient, understanding and kind only to be chewed up and spit out multiple times and right now times are tough all of his money went into this man and the job isn’t getting done this has token a toll on my cousin mental health and I’m worried about him. Please I urge everyone to write a review and band together to let the world see how unprofessional this guy is. Much prayers to all who have him as a lawyer all I can say I’m praying for everyone salvation in this time.

No Communication

We have left messages for Joe Smith and never got the courtesy of a phone call. He insisted on a payment which we gave up front. He has three different addresses on websites. We have written and have all been returned. We still need his help in this case but no contact. What is one to do???

Case Dismissed

I hired Attorney Smith to represent me on an OUI Drugs case. The police lied in the report against me. Attorney Smith evuentually got my case dismissed!!! He was a very knowledable attorney and provided me with his personal cell phone number in the case I had any questions. He's the man!!!
