Criminal / Crook

Hired Jeff for two separate issues. He cashed the checks for retainer fees and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! To speak with him regarding the jobs he was hired to do I had to 'pop' into the office unannounced because he failed to return calls, failed to file originating paperwork, failed to respond to ...most emails and absolutely failed to represent on either issue. The responses I did receive via email were false promises of job performance that he repeatedly didn't do. DO NOT RECOMMEND! It is my belief that Jeff Smith is a THIEF/CROOK/SCAM and should not be allowed to call himself a professional nor an attorney.
