Would not recommend

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.

Silent Hustle

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.

Replied last August 09, 2018

I know who this is and I am sorry you feel this way. The retainer I charged was not "ridiculous" and certainly was less than any NYC attorney would have charged. Your brother made a choice and the client has a choice on how to proceed. Your brother took into consideration the proposed plea versus the immense exposure he would have beyond the 28 years he was already serving for a murder. Again, as in other comments I have made to disgruntle clients, attorneys do not get paid to guarantee results. If any attorney guarantees anything, you need to find another attorney. In this case, your brother did the smart thing, while you hiding beyond an anonymous negative post have not.

homemaker and teacher and widow

Mr. Jerrod Smith W. Smith was extremely helpful when I went to him to ask about my legal problems. (More than once) He is a good listener and came up with some very helpful guidance and answers and he did work for me over it. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
