About Mr. Gregory B. Smith

Meet Gregory B. Smith, a highly accomplished attorney with a track record of delivering outstanding results for his clients over the span of more than two decades. What sets Mr. Smith apart is not only his dedication to providing exceptional legal services but also his commitment to fairness and efficiency in resolving matters. His reputation as a master negotiator and his background as a top salesman before becoming an attorney have endowed him with invaluable skills in handling both legal intricacies and people in challenging situations. Mr. Smith firmly believes that knowing the law is crucial, but understanding how to navigate human interactions and complex scenarios is equally vital. He has witnessed far too many cases where exorbitant legal fees were accrued due to a lack of efficient resolution strategies. In contrast, Mr. Smith prides himself on finding amicable ways to settle matters without unnecessarily burdening his clients with high costs. Apart from his legal expertise, Mr. Smith also takes the initiative to educate and mentor other attorneys, not just on legal matters but on the importance of treating people with respect and conducting fair negotiations. He understands that an attorney who displays mere aggression without empathy fails to impress judges and jurors. After graduating from BYU's law school, Mr. Smith founded "Affordable Legal Advocates," a firm with the noble mission of making the law accessible to all, offering reasonable rates, and interest-free payment plans. Even today, as a highly regarded "lawyers' lawyer," he often eschews the standard retainer fees and prefers to establish trust with his clients, allowing them to pay as they go via practical payment plans. Unlike many others, he prioritizes his clients' needs and financial situations. Beyond his legal prowess, Mr. Smith has a compassionate side. He dedicated more than a decade to teaching high school Spanish and ethics alongside his law practice. Furthermore, he has conducted seminars for fellow attorneys and personally mentored numerous new graduates, demonstrating his commitment to nurturing legal talent. Mr. Smith's profound insights and valuable contributions to the legal field have earned him media recognition, with appearances on Good Morning America and the publication of his editorials in newspapers nationwide. Despite his extensive experience, he remains approachable and available to assist clients with their legal concerns. His legal journey began even before becoming a licensed attorney, gaining valuable experience in prosecutorial work, which included handling cases related to traffic violations, assaults, thefts, and more. This early experience honed his skills in court procedure, working with law enforcement officers, presenting evidence, and thoroughly preparing cases for trial. Having been involved in thousands of cases throughout his career, Mr. Smith possesses a unique ability to spot issues that other attorneys might overlook. His extensive network of connections also proves beneficial to his clients, ensuring access to valuable resources. His law firm's A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects Mr. Smith's unwavering commitment to exceptional service. He demands nothing less than prompt and effective communication from all lawyers in his office, fostering an environment of top-tier legal representation. Mr. Smith's determination and drive have been evident since his high school days. He served as class president twice and secured a college football scholarship through hard work and the ability to set and achieve ambitious goals. Although injuries dashed his NFL dreams, he channeled his tenacity into becoming an attorney, where he now champions justice for the people of Utah.

If you need assistance navigating the Utah legal system, Gregory B. Smith is the attorney you can rely on. Reach out to him today at 801-883-8797, and rest assured that he and his team are fully dedicated to securing the best possible outcome for your case. Your success is their ultimate goal.

“ There are really not enough words to describe what an outstanding advocate Greg Smith -Attorney and Patrick Abrams - Law Clerk has been so far to my husbands case. In June 2024, my husband was charged with a DUI in Laton, Utah. After the incident , I started looking for a list of lawyers and after Greg returned my call on Sunday PM, I knew I had to retain him after our conversation. Both Greg and Patrick provided me with a sense of calmness and reassurance in an unsure time. At this point, Greg was able to reduce my husband’s DUI / Bodily harm from 2 felonies to misdemeanors. I know this is not everybody’s situation but I can guarantee that Greg Smith will work hard on your case. My advice is to listen to Greg and do everything he says ! Greg’s team have integrity /professional ! I highly recommend Greg Smith and Associates

If I could leave negative stars there still would not be enough. His firm and Mr. Smith are a complete atrocity of today’s legal system. In searching for an attorney I came across Mr. Smith web page and grossly inflated reviews. I reached out to Mr. Smith he was responsive and met with me the same day. He conducts the in person transaction with the same integrity of a used car salesmen, tells you what you want to hear and continues to demand payment. He is late to appointments and to your court appearances. He will openly mock you in front of other attorneys and use vulgar language. When called out on his conduct the used car salesman comes to life and “praise god” or come to my office bible study, but heaven for bid he actually conducts himself like a professional and protects his clients. The worst lawyer in Utah, you owe it to yourself to continue searching there are several better options then this man.
