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.

Great Legal Team, Great Pricing
They really worked with me, always stayed on top of everything. They worked with payments after a small initial payment. At court they went above and beyond.

Awesome Guy!
I've had a couple of lawyers in the past that were a disappointment for one reason or another, but Greg Smith was Great! He told me that I could call him any time and got back to me quickly whenever I had a question. He is always very direct and to the point and he never sugar coated the situation....

Honest, Affordable, and a Damn Good Attorney
I remember scheduling a consult with another attorney in Salt Lake to help me with my divorce. I brought a document with me to the consult for him to review, wanting to know if he could help me. He spent 10 minutes with me and wouldn't even handle or look at the document I brought until I had paid hi...

Fabricated & Retaliatory Protective Order Dismissed
I left a severely abusive relationship 2 years ago. Since then, my daughters father (my abuser) has found many ways to work within the legal system to continue his obscene abuse. Frequently this is at the expense of our two children. The most recent predatory action was him serving me with a protect...

His desire is to help everyone that comes into his office."

He takes clients that other attorneys will not touch. Before you hire an attorney give him a call."
"I endorse this lawyer."
