About Gregory

We can help you now. Free consultation 24/7, weeknights & weekends. Call 801-651-1512

Gregory B. Smith has gotten amazing results for people for twenty years. He's not only a highly skilled legal bulldog, but a compassionate person, too. He's a "lawyer's lawyer," too. He's put on seminars for other attorneys, and has personally trained about a dozen young criminal defense attorneys, so the legal community as a whole has greatly benefitted from his skill and knowledge. He has also authored and self-published various e-books, and written many articles. His legal insights have landed him on Good Morning America twice, and his editorials on sundry matters have been published in newspapers around the country. Most importantly, he can talk to you today. In fact, you can him now at 801-651-1512, his personal cell phone. Clients are constantly amazed that he answers all of his calls every day.

His initial training was actually in prosecutor work about twenty years ago. Here is what his former boss, D. Davis, former lead prosecutor, said of him: [Greg Smith] assisted me in Court, with the prosecution work we did as City Attorneys for the City of Mission, Texas. The cases involved traffic violations, assaults, thefts. [He] also assisted in court appearances. [He] gained considerable experience in procedure and working with law enforcement officers, methods of presenting evidence, including direct and cross-examination of witnesses, and above all, comprehensive preparation of cases for trial."

In other words, not only does Mr. Smith understand how to defend your or your loved one, he knows how prosecutors think, too.

Review Gregory Smith

Incredible & Experienced Lawyer - Wage Dispute Assistance; Highly Recommend

Posted by Ashlee Malia CarverFri Sep 13 2019

I spoke with Debbie and was scheduled for a free consultation with Greg. Debbie was an absolute joy, she was informative, helpful and had a wonderful energy on the phone. Greg Smith offers flexible hours and when I inquired how early he would be available to meet, Debbie told me that he has met with people as early as 6:00am. This impressed me as it spoke to the nature of Greg's business, his character and the care for those he would represent. I appreciated his willingness to do a free consultation whenever it was most convenient for me, knowing it could be just that; a consultation. I know that I'm not unique to this treatment but, knew that meant everyone receives the same open opportunity as I had, with Greg keeping them as priority one. When you think of a Lawyer, often you think of someone who is intimidating and because of that, I was a little nervous for our consultation. Upon meeting him, I was immediately comfortable. Greg has a welcoming and warm demeanor; his presence states authority without relaying intimation. I informed him of my situation (delay of payment after termination with my employer) and he immediately drafted a letter to send out to my previous place of employment. We are currently awaiting a response. I am thrilled to have found Greg and Debbie! It is daunting to stand up for what is rightfully yours against a company but, to have the right people in your corner gives you the confidence to do so, comfort knowing that you will be taken care of and enables you to feel empowered. I would highly recommend Greg Smith!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

I endorse this lawyer. Greg Smith has an amazing legal mind and ability to apply legal information to an array of situations. I am honored to work with Greg Smith and see his exceptional legal skills in the courtroom and with clients. I would highly recommend Greg Smith as an attorney.

Spencer Phillips, Employment and labor Attorney on Mar 12, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Greg is a fearless advocate, and he knows how to help his clients. He's also civil and willing to do what it takes to resolve a case.

Kyler Ovard, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 1, 2018
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

Greg hired me to work for him a week before I was sworn in as a lawyer. I spent 18 months working at his firm. It was so easy to see when I was working for him, and it is absolutely still true today: Greg has such a big heart. He is willing to take on cases that a lot of lawyers will not touch. His desire is to help everyone that comes into his office.

Josef Hansen, General practice Attorney on Feb 12, 2018
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

I endorse this lawyer. Greg is a very unique lawyer. He is a fierce advocate, who fights to get you the best result possible, without charging you for every billable hour possible. He is, probably, overly fair in his pricing, and very easy to work with concerning payments.

Jake Jensen, Immigration Attorney on Feb 11, 2018
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

I endorse this lawyer. Greg always puts the client first and is willing to do whatever it takes to make his client happy. He is always working for his clients and even when he's not working, he is still thinking about his clients. Greg as taught me so much and any client or attorney would be lucky to know him and have him on your case!

Jordan Haycock, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 11, 2018
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

I endorse this lawyer. Greg has successfully handled more criminal cases than any other attorney I know. Experience counts and Greg has see it all. Even if you already have an attorney it may be worth your time to get a second opinion from Greg. Additionally, I don't know any other attorney that does what Greg does; he makes big cases affordable by allowing reasonable payments and not overcharging. He takes clients that other attorneys will not touch. Before you hire an attorney give him a call.

Aaron Nielson, DUI and DWI Attorney on Feb 6, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer.
