Review G. Smith

Very knowledgeable with high ethics!

Posted by

I've known G. David Smith for over a decade and he's my go to person when anything arises in business (yes, even though when it's outside his scope of practice). He's down to earth, makes you feel comfortable and his ethics are very high. He's a straight shooter and doesn't sugar coat it. His office is a very comfortable setting in a beautiful victorian house. He's knowledgeable and if he doesn't know something when it's out of his scope of work, he tells you and researches it. If it's not worth it, he will tell you to move on and take your bruise.

Honest

Posted by

I called David for a consultation for an injury. He was very polite, very professional, and honest in his dealings with me, even though his honesty cost him my business today ( he informed me that I could handle it on my own though he would be glad to do it) , I will be using him if needed in the future.

G. David Smith was retained to handle a buisness matter and did everything in a timely manner. He answered my questions in a timely manner and explained everything in detail.

Great service

Mr. Smith quoted a price and came in on budget. I feel he went above and beyond to get my case handled.

I endorse this lawyer. I had a hard time picking which area to endorse G. David in since I wholeheartedly endorse him in all of them. I finally went with litigation since I think it covers all the bases. He is an incredible trial lawyer. He knows the law and he knows people. You couldn't ask for a better guy to have on your side. I have worked with him on many cases. and hope to work with him on many more.

G. David is a great lawyer and a zealous advocate for his clients. In my experiences with him as opposing counsel he is always tough but fair. He is also a very good mediator, who works very diligently to get seemingly impossible cases resolved.

R. Borland, Personal injury Attorney on Nov 5, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter

David and I have worked on many complex injury and death cases through two decades of association. He has enjoyed exceptional success in representing injured people and their families. He never loses sight of the clients and their feelings. He is a great person and a great trial lawyer, it is always a privilege to have him on my side of the counsel table. He is always prepared, and he is fearless.

George Fettinger, Litigation Attorney on May 23, 2013
