About Gregory
Biography
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, 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.

Effective Legal Counsel
I recently found myself facing criminal charges brought on by a rather brief string of poor decision making on my part. After searching through various legal sites and reviewing offers from several lawyers, I opted to meet with and employ Greg Smith. Due to my own inexperience in legal matters, ...

Guidence on contract
So glad I got this issue resolved. Thanks to Greg's research. Found out he was top 10 percent in his law school class in first block contract law. I'll use him for any future business or contract needs. He charged me next to nothing.

Disappointing
I choose Greg over several, more qualified attorney's because of Greg's initial enthusiasm and excitement for the case. That soon faded after a few months, as disappointment set in over Greg's handling of my case and his lack of experience. He claimed that it was health issues, but I knew better.

Replied last February 03, 2017I wish this client the best. Truth be told, we withdrew from his case (he did NOT fire us). We feel this review is terribly unfair (I worked very hard on this case). Sometimes, we just have to let a case go. Again, we wish him the best.
Gregory B. Smith's Lawyer Endorsements

"I endorse this lawyer. Greg was great to work with. He was very reasonable, professional, and responsive. I look forward to working with him in the future."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer."
