I was trying to find some legal advice to start a small business and I never had done this before so I thought it would be difficult to contact a firm and present my case. However the overall process was great. They were really honest about what I can do that's beneficial to me, I didn't feel like I was getting "sold" to do something, they really gave me advice for my first phone call. If anyone feels unsure how to approach a case, I will say they are definitely approachable and no one should feel discouraged to give them a call!

Greg is great! I'm glad that I was able to work with him! He cares a lot and is open about every detail. He even took the time to work on my case over the Holidays! He definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to your case. I most definitely recommend Greg Smith and Associates. They are great people who care about you and your case, thank you Greg for all your help!

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.

Jordan Haycock is the most knowledgeable lawyer I have ever hired. He's current and up to date on all current laws, statutes, and legal programs. He has been extremely helpful with all of my cases and is constantly making me feel like a priority. He truly cares about me and my situation and I feel that. He's provided the best representation and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you Jordan for everything you've done for me.

Patrick Abrams (one of Greg Smith & Associates up and coming all-stars) is amazing. He listens to you, cares about your problem and takes quick action to protect you from unjust employment practices. The whole team at Greg Smith & Associates (especially Greg Smith) is the same. I would highly recommend Patrick, Greg and anyone else on the team if you've been mistreated by your employer.

I only had a brief over the phone consultation. He listened and considered my case, and although he did say there could be something more to my case, he said he doesn't like taking someone's money if he's not sure he can at least get them that much back. I really felt like he was an honest honorable man, and that is very important to me.

I called needing help with a local dealership, that we had been approved and now we had not been approved and they wanted the car back. They had the car for two whole weeks before we took it home. he told me to tell them that I had a down payment or a retaining fee and a couple of weeks up front. Before we could pay the retaining fee, the dealership called back to have us sign new paperwork. If I hadn't called, We would have taken the car back. I really appreciated his time and willingness to help us. I feel very fortunate to have talked to him.

Greg Smith and associates are truly one of the best attorney firms I have ever used. After paying a large sum to another firm, for very little in return, I was referred to Greg Smith and Assoc. What a difference! They always promptly return my calls, answer my questions and have produced a wining outcome, while paying a fair price. If you need legal services I would highly recommend them.

Greg is the best attorney in the state of Utah! He's been wonderful to work with and has been my attorney for 7 years now! I will not use anyone else for legal matters in the state of Utah ever! He's affordable and honest and very attentive, he returns phone calls and text anytime I need him. He very knowledgeable and has great relationships with lots of Judges! I'd give him 100 stars it it was possible, thank you for representing me throughout the years and thank you for your wonderful service! 100 out of 5 stars hands down.

Had the opportunity to speak directly with Mr. Smith regarding an employment/unpaid wage dispute matter that occurred in Park City. As someone who works in the legal field I was shocked that he made time to speak to me at the time of my call. He was very charsmatic, professional and kind. Not to mention he offered legal advise on spot providing clarity regarding the legal issue. I highly suggest giving this firm a call.

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!

Greg answered the phone immediately and spent time right then to go over thoroughly what our options would and could be. Super knowledgeable and kind. Greg honestly gave us his opinion of "a snowballs chance in Hades" Thank you Greg for your time and willingness to help us if needed. Came out thinking even though our chance was slim it was still worth trying.

Worked with Greg on an employment appeal recently regarding my fiance and a local school district. He was extremely professional, stayed in constant communication with us (e.g., updates, phone calls, emails, etc.). Met with us personally whenever we asked for a meeting. Always made time for us, and made us feel welcome to reach out with any questions we had. Overall, strongly recommend Greg for anyone experiencing legal employment issues. He was great to work with, extremely WELL priced, works with you and makes you feel like a priority, and helped us feel like we had an advocate on our side.

Greg was awesome and so easy to work with. He was very empathetic, answered my calls and e-mails, and was very communicative throughout the whole process. I've never been in a position where I've needed a lawyer, lucky for me he made everything so easy and straightforward. If you're unsure about your situation, it's 100% worth giving him a call.
