Just another by the hour lawyer with no balls.

I hired Nate Smith for my divorce and the day of the hearing he didn't performed. Actually my friends in court with me agreed that he was quite a sissy as a litigator. He appeared to be educated and all that but no claws... why should he if he gets paid by the hour regardless of performance. He a...lso drag the clock as much as possible to go nowhere. He was all about charging and clocking hours. He likes racking up the bill. He has 4 kids for a guy not even 45... Then his attitude regarding me as a client wasn't good. He was arrogant but I let it slip thinking that was going to be aggressive in court but no he was a pussycat. 8 hours to get the same crap as we were there 30 seconds. Just to give you an idea he didn't even object the other side bringing evidence from a dismiss TPO my ex put on me trying to get the whole house. He was creative. He's too much set in his ways that obviously don't work.

Bad Choice

I hired Mr. Smith as my attorney and I am totally dissatisfied on the way my case was handled. Rachael his associate who handled my case made inaccurate statements, poor Court room performance, and I was embarrassed by the way she handled my case. Please be careful , do not use Rachael.

Review

I hired Nate to help me get my personal belongings out of home after divorce. I had to fire my divorce lawyer early in my case because she misrepresented herself as a divorce lawyer. He was rude to me and my elderly father and cut our conversation short. I left his office crying and thought he was st...andoffish and rude. He wouldnt let me speak and held his hand up in the air as to motion me to stop speaking. I was surprised as to his negative attitude towards me and my father! I paid Nate $150 for a 15 min conversation I thought he could of least listened to me! I assumed he was a very moody and controlling person.

Absolutely no good I wouldn't recommend keep your $

Nathaniel Smith failed to represent me correctly he didn't know any facts about my case i hired Candice cliatt little. and when I showed up to court Nathaniel Smith represented me. I had to show the courts my own evidence instead of him presenting to them

I don't know who this is, and I can't think of any hearing where my client presented evidence while I just stood by. That's a very odd scenario that I don't recall ever happening.

I would not hire this attorney after the poor consultation meeting.

I met Nate Smith last week for a free consultation on a child support matter. Upon meeting him I was immediately turned off by his first comment to me. Let’s make this quick I can’t be here for a hour. His whole demeanor toward me was very arrogant and short. He never showed any interest in my case ...and made me feel like I was wasting his time being in his office. Before he truly even wanted to answer any of my questions he wanted me to sign a fee contract hiring him. At that point I knew it would be a mistake hiring this guy, so I left. I would not trust the reviews about Mr. Smith

I'm available for consultations, but not for cuddling and long conversations. I would be doing a disservice to my clients who have paid for me to return phone calls and e-mails, and prepare paperwork and go to court, if I turn away from their cases to allow a pro se litigant to abuse the consultation process and try to become a lawyer by talking to me for hours. If you're looking to talk to someone for hours about your problems you want a psychiatrist, not a lawyer. If you want to talk to someone for hours for free you want to talk to your family and friends, not a lawyer. I am sure "let's make this quick I can't be here for an hour" was not my first comment; that wouldn't make sense. But I do wrap up consultations when they're through; I must.
