Smith, Gregory B.

Gregory B. Smith is not only a highly skilled legal bulldog, but a compassionate person, too, who's been helping people fight for their rights for nearly twenty years.

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.”

His clients love him because he's very down to earth, and more than willing to take their calls 24/7 - even on weekends. In fact, he often meets with his clients at restaurants, instead of at his law office, so that the client can relax, and talk freely. By doing this, Mr. Smith can really get to know them, and get a solid background on the case. However, he is happy to meet at his office, too. It is no wonder the law firm has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. He demands that all the lawyers that work at his office return communications promptly, and that they give all the law firm clients the best legal representation possible.

Although he is one of the nation's top criminal defense attorneys, his fees are very reasonable. He's handled literally thousands of cases, and his early training in prosecutorial work is put to good use for his clients. In other words, he has seen how the other side works, and he knows how they think. He's respected by prosecutors and judges, too, because his style does not alienate them.

Mr. Smith has always been a go-getter. In high school, he was class president and earned a college football scholarship because of his hard work, and ability to set high goals and achieve them - his college team even won the National Championship. Football taught him a lot about life, and how to fight and win within the rules. However, due to many shoulder dislocations, he had to undergo surgery twice and abandon his dream to play in the NFL. Instead, he became an attorney. Now instead of sacking quarterbacks, and blocking for runners, he helps people get Justice in Utah!

Right out of law school in the early 1990s, Mr. Smith gained valuable insights while participating in the prosecution of many cases in Texas (acting under the direction of licensed and highly skilled attorneys, who had been around the block many, many times). However, Mr. Smith was often uncomfortable asking the judge to punish people for things that Mr. Smith felt were often simple errors in judgment. He also quickly learned that many accusers were not honest, or that they had blown things way out of proportion. So, he decided he could do more good helping those who were accused of crimes. Then, he moved back to Utah and took the Utah bar exam instead of the Texas one. Since then, Mr. Smith has helped literally thousands of people cope with the Utah legal system.

Mr. Smith is a "lawyer's lawyer", too. He puts on seminars for other attorneys, so that the legal community can benefit from his skills and knowledge. He has also authored and self-published four books, and written many articles. His legal insights have landed him on Good Morning America twice, and his writings have been published in newspapers around the country.
