This lawyer is good

I was already bankrupt and he made it very good for me

Posted by Roxanne | August 09, 2012 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Keeps me informed when there is something to tell me

I like Dale as a person and as a lawyer. I've worked with lawyers before. Some lawyers make me nervous with wanting things to be done quickly and I feel like I'm holding them up. Dale is relaxed, comfortable to talk to, explains the bankruptcy process thoroughly and gets right to work. When I call w...ith concerns he gets back to me right away if it's something I need to know right away. When he doesn't get back to me right away it's because it wasn't anything I needed to worry about. I think maybe some people have control issues and are having trouble letting someone else handle their financial problems. If I wanted somebody to hold my hand, I'd go see a priest or someone to console me. I want him to give my case the attention, not me. I trust him to take care of it.

Respected, compassionate and knowledgeable

“I filled out the questionnaire on the Oregon Fresh Start website. Much to my surprise I actually got a call from Dale Smith who explained everything to me and was very compassionate to our situation. It was obvious when we met with the trustee that Dale is respected and the kind of lawyer you wan...t on your side. If you are considering bankruptcy Dale Smith is the right lawyer to call. He and his staff have been excellent to deal with”

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2009

updated on 02/22/2012

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
