DO NOT HIRE

Research Arlo Hale Smith's state bar record before you hire him. I was unaware of his prior suspensions when I hired him to handle a few cases for me. He was also representing my ex husband and his business partner at the same time without having anyone sign conflict waivers. Needless to say this arr...angement had a negative outcome for me. I do not recommend.

This person is a liar. The poster is not an ex client, but is probably working for a political opponent. I get alot of that because my brother Ace Smith, is a very well-known campaign manager. The claim that I have had unlawful conflicts of interest is a fabrication.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2008

updated on 04/11/2018

This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.

Arlo’s comment:

“These are matters that occurred in the past century”

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2001

updated on 04/11/2018

This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Arlo’s comment:

“These are matters that ocurred in the last century”
