I got into some major trouble, multiple criminal charges, and possibly facing serious jail time. I was literally a mess and needed serious help. Thankfully, Scott and his team was there to walk my family I step by step through the whole ordeal and make it possible to reach a conclusion avoiding jail ...time and making it possible to go back to a career. What I am most thankful to Scott is that he not only helped me wade through the legal system but also was a big part in helping get my life back together so I can have a life after the case.

Scott was tremendous in handling my criminal trespassing case. He responded to my questions promptly and professionally, even when I was out of the country. Although the case took several months to be resolved, Scott kept me updated as soon as he had new information. Working with him gave me great pe...ace of mind, and I found him to be both trustworthy and personable. He followed my case through to record restriction, as he promised on our first meeting. I am exceptionally pleased with the service he provided, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

W. Scott Smith is the very best defense lawyer in Atlanta, GA. We would highly recommend Scott to anyone that needs representation regarding a DUI. Scott is an outstanding and very professional lawyer who sincerely cares for his clients. Scott and his exceptional staff were always available to ans...wer any questions that we had and he went above and beyond our expectations. We were confident from our first meeting with Scott that he would successfully handle our family member’s situation. Scott was a God-send to us and we couldn't have gotten through such a challenging and stressful time without him. It was a pleasure to work with Scott and his staff during this very protracted experience. We will never be able to thank Scott enough for his support and for making such a positive difference!

I got arrested for a first time DUI and my videotape looked kinda bad - my speech, stance and sobriety tests showing some signs of impairment. I interviewed 5 lawyers - and even though Scott was clearly on the pricier end, I felt I could trust him and he seemed to have the passion to fight for his cl...ients and get the best possible outcome in every case. I am so glad I chose him. Mine was not a slam dunk case and on top of that I presented Scott with a very unique set of challenges to address - a mix of immigration, work and international travel related consequences that would be devastating to me if I got a DUI conviction. Scott fought till the very end and managed to negotiate a very creative plea bargain (non-DUI, traffic offenses) that uniquely satisfied my immigration and other constraints. All the other lawyers/court personnel around were like: "wow - how did he manage THAT ?!". Scott has a very strong court presence - you should see the way he breezes around and ease with which he connects with people. More importantly, I believe he possesses good court instincts - he seems to know just when/how to ask for something and when to shut up and back off. Before I left court on the final day, whoever I came in contact with - the prosecutor, the judge, another attorney, and finally my probation officer - ALL of them complimented Scott and congratulated me on choosing such a fine lawyer... and I couldn't agree more :) Thank you Scott!
