Criminal Defense

Went to trial on felony charges! He did everything I ask! He’s great! He assured I was going to win! He is someone I will sure have in my corner.

Professional, personable and poised

I can’t speak highly enough of Gray. He took care of my traffic violation at no inconvenience to me. He saved me time and resources and I won’t think about calling anyone else in the future. I am grateful for his help and it was a privilege to work with him!

Outstanding Attorney

First off Gray is the most reliable & reassuring attorney I've ever met. He literally saved my butt & got my assault case dismissed. I had experience working at the Public Defense and I know how bad some lawyers can be. I had an assault case that was pretty serious. A week before my case I called Mas...on & Mason on a Saturday afternoon letting them know my situation, I gave the secretary my number since it was the weekend and no one was there. Within two minutes after hanging up with the secretary at Mason and Mason, I got a call from Gray. On a Saturday afternoon! I told him my situation and just over the phone Gray seemed confident that he will be able to dismiss my case. We scheduled a meeting for that Monday and he was so reassuring and confident that he will get it dismissed. (All for free consultation) I immediately retained him as my lawyer that same day. I did shop around before that and not one lawyer even considered dismissal they were telling me a year probation or more. Gray was the only one who reassured me that he is confident we can dismiss this case for me. Well my court date was today 5/7 and I got it dismissed. He reassured me the whole time in the court room it'll be okay. I was speechless at how great he handled my case, I didn't have to say or do anything but sign a paper for dismal. Unbelievable I thanked him a million times. I also want to mention he will literally answer every call, text or email immediately. Even on a Sunday night. He is very reliable and cares about each case he has. If I ever need an attorney again (hopefully not) I am call William Gray Smith without a doubt.

Outstanding Attorney!

We needed an attorney to help with my daughter's citation and being from Wilm, N.C. all my life, there's only one I've ever really used. When I called him to explain the situation, he cut me off before i could even finish talking and threw a price at me that was way too much for a minor citation and ...the fact that he cut me off was even more unprofessional and that just turned me off right there. You would think an attorney you've used for many yrs and referred so many others to, would not make his client turn elsewhere. After doing some research online, I called 2 other attorneys wiith Gray being one of them. The other attorney, which never returned any calls himself and no one was ever in his office, had his assistant returning his calls from her home and telling me her personal problems and why she returned his calls from her home. That spoke volumes about him right there. Gray was meant to be. He returned every call, took the time to listen, answered every question and explained to us exactly what he thought and what he could do for her and he came through 100 percent. He is honest, straight forward and sticks to his word. We will definetly be calling him again and I would recommend him to anyone needing any legal assistance. He is not only a very outstanding attorney, he is a great person and I stand behind my word when in I say you will not be disappointed.
