Disappearing Lawyer

Stephen was great in the beginning of my case, when he got paid. Initially he made me confident it was a open and shut case. He seemed to have things together in court. But throughout the case it seemed apparent that proper communication was not happening between him and the prosecutor. He told me no...t to worry about going to court when we ended up needing to be there. I now have my 2nd bench warrant out with no bail because he never changed my court date like he said he would. he did not turn in my community service, he has stopped communicating all together and i am now stuck with the remainder of my case and likely going to jail because my lawyer did not communicate. he was paid in full and has not seen the case through the finish.

Criminal defense client

Would not recommend Stephen Smith. He is a personable man but there is an under current of seething anger which can easily become activated if one says something in a way that he doesn't like. He seemed excessively avaricious re: Money. Didnt seem knowledgeable about simple legal questions i ásked. H...e was there for me in some manner during darkest days, but then didn't always keep me informed bout what was going on & wouldnt answer my calls at times, or show up at court for me and not notify me or court of it till last minute, very disappointing. Charged way too much for what he did do. Can be very hostile. Maybe he's good for traffic violations, dui's & such, but less so for criminal matters. He didn't seem to fight for me, he seemed too apathetic.

Average

Steve added no value in my (minor) DUI and negotiated zero with the DA (who he was way too friendly with.) Small time lawyer in a small town. Didn't finish paperwork, my deferral almost was revoked even though I was in compliance. Bottom line: use someone else.

Great lawyer for legal advise and reasonable.

Very knowledgeable and helpful in the Bankruptcy. Genuinely compassionate and never made us feel embarrassed. His fee was very fair and we didn't feel pressured. I would recommend him and his office highly.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2003

updated on 01/13/2010

This means the attorney 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.
