Jarrod William Smith

I hired him through pre-trial motions for $2500 for an E felony which he said he would get dismissed with a single motion. Upon my refusal of a misdemeanor plea because I was innocent, he said he would withdraw from the case if I did not pay more, I have a witness who signed an affirmation to this. ... He misread NYC law for NYS law, missed the fact that the felony complaint was not only fraudulent, but had me committing a crime in Auburn NY when I was working in Batavia, NY (3hours drive west!). He is incompetent, and inattentive. He actually had to be called on his cell phone by THE JUDGE to appear in Court and represent me. Legal research, yep, on his cellphone in-between colluding with the DA. I am currently filing a civil lawsuit against him. Oh, and he waived speedy trial against my verbal and written direction (again with a witness) screwing me over for a 30.30 dismissal. 13 months later, I got myself out of jail by self representing (Pro Se).

Jarrod Smith was impossible to get a response from. I have been trying to contact him for over a week and a half. He is representing my boyfriend in a case and his brother and hasn’t answered either of their calls or even talked to them and one of their cases is in two days.(On the 16th of February 2...022!) Anyone who recommended him is wrong for that because he hasn’t even responded to his clients and the voicemail box for his office is always full and no one answers their phones anyway so there’s no way to contact him.

I hired Mr. Smith to represent my brother in a criminal case. He charged me a ridiculous retainer, saw his client only once during the process and did nothing but submit teh same paperwork the previous attorney was going to. I hired him based on his word, passion of the case and expected results. He... put very little energy into the case and I would not recommend retaining his services.
