Overall: Quality service

NOT Guilty! DUI Jury Trial

Great Job! - I was found not guilty after a 3 day jury trial. What sets Scott apart is his knowledge of the law when relating to the judge - he won almost every objection he made - combined with his ability to create a strong connection with the jury. I was found not guilty despite quite a few obst...acles throw Scott's way. We were not offered a reasonable deal for a first time DUI (offered serving 8days of a 15day sentence) as the cop was agitated by my attitude the night of the the arrest I told Scott that I wasn't going to take the deal and that even though the odds are stacked against the defendant in a DUI jury trial that I would take the risk. The fact that I was charged with refusal to take the breath test/ blood test meant the outcome would depend on the video and Scott questioning the officer. The video presented to the jury included over 40 minutes of audio not on our version of the tape., I told scott I did not want a mistrial despite one being offered by the judge. Due to it being a speedy trial demand and our expert witness being out of town till the end of the week, he was unable to testify. Despite these setbacks Scott artfully and successfully explained my side of the story and pointed out weaknesses in the state's case and the officers actions/testimonies. He kept me informed the entire time and you can tell that he really cares about every client and every case and understands the magnitude the outcome has. I recommend Scott to anyone and everyone who is facing a DUI charge regardless if you think you'll take a deal or go to trial. I hope never to need a criminal defense attorney ever again - but if I do I will immediately call W. Scott Smith.

Scott represented me with very satisfactory results. He was trustworthy, professional, understanding, and was able to put at rest the stress that had built up as a result of my charges. The results of my case left me very happy, and I was able to get on with my life. I would sincerely recommend Scott... to anyone looking for an attorney in his area of expertise!

Not Guilty

Scott recently tried my case in which I was found not guilty of a DUI. I can not say enough praise for this lawyer. He is very honest and loves his clients. I’ve worked with other lawyers in the past who don’t really care about their clients, but only want their money and will only do the minimum amo...unt of work possible. Then there is Scott. . I could tell right away that Scott cared about my case, and would fight to the end. He didn't disappoint. He fought to the very end, and did everything in his power to win my case. Before choosing Scott for my representation, I interviewed some of the top DUI lawyers in the city of Atlanta. What made him stand out above all others was not only his knowledge of the law, but his passion for the job. Lastly, while I was at the courtroom, Scott stepped out to speak with a trooper. I overheard one of the prosecutor’s interns ask the clerk if Scott was a good lawyer. The clerk immediately replied that Scott was one of the best. I give Scott my whole heartedly recommendation. As a side note, his staff was always professional, responsive, and knowledgeable as well. Judy and Daniel were always willing to help me with whatever I needed.
