Gary L. Smith, Attorney At LAW

Don't waste your money with this guy. You might think I'm writing this referral because I didn't get the verdict I was looking for but Mr. Gary Smith did not even make it to the final hearing date. I gave Gary Smith $2,500 to help me with a case that involved the safety and well being of my Six year old daughter. Her Mother's new boyfriend was domestically violent and my daughter had witnessed it. The day before the first hearing Gary Smith demanded (pretty much held me ransom) and said if you don't deliver me $2,500 more before the hearing I cannot help you. My wife and I got together the last $2,500 dollars we had and delivered it to Gary Smith in time. During the hearing he was completely useless, my Judge even saying one time, "I was waiting for you to jump in Mr. Smith." after he failed to object to multiple lines of questioning that were in violation of court rules. So after his complete failure at our first hearing, showing that he did absolutely zero home work and was extremely ill prepared for the hearing that day, we began to question his ability to assist us. Meanwhile the case was extended and nothing was done on that day. I wrote an E-mail to Mr. Gary Smith explaining that I was upset with how he was handling the case. I was not offensive, rude, or ignorant. I kept the E-mail's tone very professional focusing on the fact that my daughters safety was at risk. Gary Smith replied by dropping me as a client, not submitting a bill to me, and keeping all of my money. I got an E-mail response from his stating he could not handle my case anymore and then filed to be removed as my counsel. So months later I was left unprepared, unrepresented, and missing $5,000 from our saving. Do Not waste you money with the laziest and most unprofessional lawyer I have ever met.
