I worked with Greg and Jordan and they were both very quick to respond and on the ball about helping me figure things out with my case. Greg even called far outside of business hours twice to make sure things were moving in the right direction from the start. Greg has a lot of experience and they both know how to confidently navigate communication between everyone involved. They can be time-efficient on the phone, so make sure you have your questions ready, but they are both very friendly to talk to.

Greg Smith is a very caring person. He is helping me with a non-compete case at the moment and he has been supportive and understanding. I have been dealing with financial issues because of this matter and from the kindness of his heart he offered to extend his services for 2 more weeks on the house. I am truly thankful.

Greg & Jordan are great attorneys and some of the nicest and most sincere gentlemen you'll ever meet. I was facing some very serious charges based on false allegations and lies. After meeting with Greg and Jordan, I felt a lot better about how things would shake out. After much discussion and advice, I was able to make a decision that I thought would be the best outcome possible. I'm now on the path of resolving this horrible nightmare thanks to Jordan and Greg. Jordan and Greg both have something that's not so common anymore.integrity! Let Greg Smith & Associates represent you, you won't be sorry. Thanks Jordan & Greg!

Greg was so great! Was having issues with a retaliatory employer that unlawfully locked me out of my home/office. Greg took my call after hours, on the same day sent them an email that finally got them to take me seriously and was allowed to enter back in to the office/home the very next morning. Very eager to continue working with him as I've already seen results!

I am very grateful for the representation of this law firm for what was likely a somewhat minor issue for them but a major one for me (possible arrest and an large dollar fine). Even so, my case was handled; as a serious matter. Both Mr. Greg Smith JD, and his associate, Mr. Jordan Haycock JD were familiar with and knowledgeable about my case. I have never been in a criminal court before now. They were very positive about how my case would turn out and worked with the court system to make it so.
I am very grateful for the support they provided to me. Mr. Haycock took the time to explain what would happen during the court appearances; how he would work to resolve this situation for my best benefit. Mr. Smith handled the final session in court which ended with that best benefit. They fought to get me that best benefit for which I am very grateful. They are both professional, knowledgeable of the law, and when appropriate, will add a touch of humor to relieve some of the stress of needing to be sitting across from an attorney.
That touch of humor helped me handle the stress of this situation. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who has had a brush with the law and needs someone on their side. Someone who knows what to do and how to best represent you. You will have, in my opinion, two very capable attorneys standing beside you in court.
