Do your research on Attorney

I hired Smith for a probate case in August 2021. Case is still pending. I had a stroke January 2024. Finally got home. Called and text mentioned I had stroke, asked about case. No response. I would NOT recommend him to someone don't like. I am going to another Attorney. Doing everything I ca...n . Hopefully telling everyone about my experience with Smith.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Was disciplined by the State Board in 2024.

Hired Nicholas Smith in 2023. All he does. Is put you off and then Because 6 months went by and then a year went by. I filed a complaint with the State Board and he tries to play the victim. He has cussed at me. I gave him a bad review. And he threatened to cease doing business with me, which is a...gainst the law. And he lied to the State Board trying to Turn. It around to make it look like you did something wrong.
