Russell A. Smith

He took my case regarding a tenant / landlord issue. He never returned a call for an entire year. Took my money but never put an ounce of work into it. After I finally made an appointment as a new client he saw me. I made him give me my money back for court cost but everything else I was out. Sa...id he would give me credit. He will never represent me or anyone I know, ever. Buyer beware. Picture perfect shyster. A huge waste.

This guy worked a plea for my son (court ap) that's 2 x longer than the PSI recommended. He couldn't provide file in it's entirety. His office has little to no resources for even a photocopy. He claims that he does not have his copy of the PSI. I guess safe to say unorganized. Moved very slowly, mon...ths of postponements. Very little contact with my son in jail. Would not cooperate with family members that had questions/concerns. Maybe he really didn't know the answers. Always late for court and never informed my son of what was going on. Poor communications skills and does not return calls. I was trying to teach my son a lesson by not bailing him out with an experienced private attorney. I learned the lesson. Mr. Smith works all these court appointed cases for a reason. I wouldn't recommend him for anyone at all for any reason whatsoever.
