Philip Michael Smith

I hired Mr. Smith for a case that was high stress and required an experienced attorney. I chose Mr. Smith because I thought he understood law in and out, and would not be surprised by ebbs and flows, and decisions made on matters by the court. Mr. Smith was continuously stumped by court decisions and... left me little help or guidance in deciding matters. For the over 300$ per hour I paid, I expected someone more on top of their game, more professional in speech and appearance, and more recognizant of professional relations. Unfortunately, Mr. Smith wanted to act more as a father figure to someone he might have seen as half- wit child. In the end, Mr. Smith was more of an expensive paper filer than an advocate for my case, and I was forced to remove him from my case and find another attorney. I paid this man almost 2500$ and what I got was a man atleast 10 years older than his professional picture, walking with a cane, a toothpick in his mouth, cussing like a sailor, unaware of or unwilling to share important court rules, deadlines, or processes, and more so as one working for the court than sharing my rights to me. I walked away from him more stressed and anxious about my case, and found someone else for half the price, three times the professionalism, and someone well worth their cost. Mr. Smith, I expected much better from someone with the experience as you, I felt like I was paying you so you could take a vacation, not help me in a serious matter. No one paying such a high price to an attorney should feel like a burden to their own counsel.

I have used the services of Mr. Philip Smith for many years and have complete confidence in his expertise and professionalism. He has helped me with issues large and small: My mother's estate, family members' "Last Will and Testaments", my HOA's legal challenges, my son's DUI. Mr. Smith is attenti...ve and caring when it comes to his client's issues, brings a warm sense of humor to meetings (which is important to me) and makes sure that he is available to his clients when they need him. I feel supported, encouraged and confident with Mr. Smith as my legal representative.
