David Lee Smith

David Smith is a horrible attorney. David Smith allowed a whole adjudication to take place without coming out in the lobby and retrieving me when I was 5min late. A motion to change temporary custody was filed by this attorney and was granted into an order but somehow got reversed and a hearing was ...held on this matter in which I was never informed. Another hearing was held after these hearings and again I was told it was between the agency and attorneys. This man failed to properly file evidence that would’ve got my children home in a CPS case. That evidence was held from March and not filed until July but when he did file the evidence he gave it straight to the agency in a discovery response when they never asked for a discovery. Ironically he filed a motion to terminate CPS involvement and to get my kids back that same day he filed the discovery response with the evidence attached (only the cover sheet made the official record). Had he filed the evidence (an affidavit, objections and then actual evidence to support those documents) in support of that motion it would’ve been granted. He failed to allow me to make the record. This attorney was granted a withdrawal after I gave him documents to file in which he chickened out. He never answered a single phone call, he never responded to important questions via email, he simply ignored me during the most crucial moments of the case.
