Scam artist
Do yourself a favor and just go with a free public defender, it’s going to be the same outcome anyway, it’s up to the judge. Scott Smith knows this and exploits this. Was sitting in county jail while Scott was out on vacation skiing with my deposit, typical greedy and soulless jew!

a godsend
Our son's case was an uphill battle in a county known for little or no mercy. Scott Smith fought long and hard and tenaciously to finally achieve the best possible result. He was not intimidated or coerced by the prosecution, held his ground when necessary and was prepared to go to trial if need be. ...

Stay clear from this so-called attorney
I contracted this man to help seal a record. I paid him $1500. He never did anything on my case. He refused to refund my money. Would not consult with him ever again
Since this reviewer did not leave any contact information or a name, it is difficult to properly respond. We are a small firm that strives to provide high quality representation to all of our clients and take great pride in the work we do. I have been practicing criminal law in Austin for over 25 years, am board certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and have never been sanctioned by the Texas State Bar since being licensed in 1987. Though I don’t know who this reviewer is, I can say I have never done nothing on a case that I have been hired on. I have given continuing legal education presentations and lectures to defense lawyers throughout the state on how to properly seal and expunge records. I would be happy to talk with whoever wrote this review to address any of their problems or concerns.

Attorney-client says ask detailed questions; don't just accept explanation
During criminal case, Smith said my Class B conviction could be expunged, so no worries. Then after I paid him $1200 to expunge the Class B misdemeanor, he told me legal language was not clear if I could expunge and likely I would be unsuccessful. As attorney who later researched language on qualific...

Best lawyer in Austin
Scott has been our family's attorney for over ten years and has provided extremely professional service. Some of his legal assistants have been better than others (one guy was awful but the ones they have now are great) but Scott and his attorneys are the best in town. They are not the cheapest attor...
