E. Zach Smith

Mr. Smith was perhaps the best experience I have ever had in terms of a defense lawyer (not many). He made me feel at ease, let me know my legal position, and described all the possible outcomes regarding my individual circumstances. If you think any charge is the end of the road for you personally, ...professionally, etc, then sit in for a consult, and you will feel differently. Trust me when I tell you it is not the absolute end of the road when charged. That is just half of the story. Without a lawyer like this guy you're at the systems whim. Overall good person, and I was very happy with my choice.

I had never been charged with a crime in my entire life. Unfortunately, I went to happy hour and just after midnight on my way home I was pulled over for speeding. The very first thing out of the cop's mouth was to ask "how much" I had to drink. I was honest and admitted to drinking, but I was NOT d...runk. The officer immediately told me to get out of my truck and made me take all of the tests. Even though I passed them all, they arrested me anyway. He told me if I passed the breath test at the station I would go home. However, when we got there I said "no", as I didn't feel like they had a reason to give me one, AND they had already arrested me!! At that point what did it matter?. (I later found out his report said I had "slurred speech" and was unsteady on my feet with bloodshot eyes and all sorts of lies). I couldn't believe it. I was NOT drunk. After I got out of jail that morning I immediately called around to find a good lawyer. Several of my friends told me to call the Tulsa DUI Guy. I remembered seeing his ads all over town, but I wasn't sure if he was any good. I did meet with some other lawyers, but honestly, Zach was the easy decision, for a number of reasons. He met with me the first day I called him, and he was actually the person who answered the phone. We met in person at his office (a very nice building), and he immediately faxed off a request to keep my license. He pretty much answered every question I had without me even having to ask any. He did most of the talking, and I just listened. It was as if he already knew everything I was going to ask about, and all of my fears and worries were calmed. He put me at ease, and frankly, from that moment forward, I completely trusted him to handle my case. I was never really worried after that first meeting. It ran very smoothly, and he seemed to know a lot about DUIs. Zach did everything he said he was going to do, and everything he said would happen did in fact happen. I was really impressed. It was obvious the judge respected him, and he told me in court that I had a "very fine lawyer". That made me feel better and realize I hired the right lawyer. I was really worried about a conviction, but in the end, I got a deferred sentence. We can get it off my record in a couple of years. That was just the beginning though!! He called me almost a year after my arrest to tell me that my driver's license would not be suspended after all. So, in short, I never lost my license, and we are going to get this off my record in the future as soon as possible. Yes, I know I did wrong, and the reality is that I have had to pay for that wrong. This DUI has cost me a LOT of money. However, the money I spent on Zach was easily worth it. I never lost my driver's license, which was amazing to me seeing how Zach and ONLY one other lawyer told me that I could fight it. The rest of the lawyers I talked to told me nothing could be done and that it would be suspended. I don't know how he did that, but evidently Zach and that other lawyer were right. I know I will not make that same mistake again, but if you or someone you know gets a DUI, I highly recommend you call Zach Smith. Friends of mine who have gotten DUIs have had to get the blow device put in their trucks, and I am the only one of us that never had to do that. One of my buddies was actually happy he got a reduced charge, but Zach told me we didn't want that because his record will be there for at least ten years. While I still have to deal with this on my record for awhile, the fact is, someday within the next few years this will be a distant memory, and that is because of the good lawyer I hired. I can't say enough good things about Zach.

I called a couple of friends after I was arrested on DUI and CD charges. They both referred me to Zach. I was not disappointed. He told me my options and helped me through the process as this was my first DUI. Everytime, I would call Zach I would recieve a phone call back in a timely fashion. What at...ty does this? I have dealt with other types of atty's and you are lucky to get a call back within a week. Zach told me exactly what to expect. No B.S. Once again what atty does this? He pointed me in the right direction with my assesment. Gorden was awesome. Zach got me a very sweet deal. When the judge makes mention to the fact that you got a sweet deal and don't screw it up. I feel very confident in Zachs abilities. Thank you Zach!
