Russell A. Smith

I hired Mr. Smith for a few miscellaneous legal mattersand he is the most personable, honest, and understanding lawyer I've ever met. Lawyers usually make me nervous or stressed out and he explained everything in a way I could understand. I would refer him to anyone. Hopefully I won't have anymore le...gal matters, but if I do he's my number one choice.

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.

Mr. Smith started as a wonderful attorney. I was referred to him through Prepaid Legal Services. He attended court on my behalf a few times and was great! Some mistake (him over looking important custody issues) happened and resulted in my custody order being changed in ways that were only beneficial... to the other parent. Since the "mistake" in may 2012, Smith has refused to return my calls, return the calls of the service I retained him through, or send me a financial statement. At this point I have no attorney and pretty sure he still has some of my money. I would NEVER recommend someone who lacks ethics.
