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.

I met with Greg Smith yesterday regarding a protective order. With only five days left before my hearing, I was worried I might be too late for him to take on my case or that we’d need to request a continuance. I arrived at his office at 7 a.m., and he was ready to sit down with me, listen, and go through my case thoroughly. One thing that really stood out was his setup—he pulled up my paperwork on a large, 70-inch screen, and we reviewed it together, making necessary adjustments in real time. By the time I left, we had all the paperwork finalized, and he walked me through what to expect during the hearing. Greg’s confidence in my case reassured me, and I feel prepared and supported heading into the hearing this week.

If you need an attorney, Greg Smith is your guy! False accusations were made against me and I was facing some very serious charges as a result. Greg and his staff got me out of a very bad and scary situation. Greg is honest and most of all, Greg has integrity. I have never ben so scared in my life, but Greg made me feel at ease. Greg is caring and he didn't nickel and dime be to death. He gave me a great deal and worked out a payment plan. The world needs more people like Greg. I'm so thankful to Greg and his staff and I will always consider Greg a friend. Thanks, Greg!

Ok, first of all---DO NOT even pay attention to ANY reviews below 5 stars. This man is a God-send. My entire life was on the line. Yes, I made a mistake, and it was coming back to haunt me years later. I almost lost my job, family, house, everything over it. Not only did he go SO far above and beyond in the original case years ago, I am BEYOND thankful in every way imaginable that even years later he was able to clear up the ramifications of what happened. He is worth every single dime, and more. Greg is a lucky guy, because I live out of state...if I was anywhere close to the man I'd give him a kiss on the face! He saved my life...he saved my family...my career...my home. "Thank you" would not be adequate. The ONLY people leaving negative reviews on here for him, are probably people who didn't hire him and lost their case because he was representing the other client. Email me for detailed about my specific case if you want proof: JoshEDavis79@gmail.com I SWEAR he is amazing.

I left my son's life in Jordan and Greg's hands and have not been misled or left in the dark about any aspects of my son's case. No stone has been left unturned and I am confident that the outcome will be a positive one. In these difficult times, the pandemic challenged our lines of communication, but Greg stayed true to his promises. He held my son's hand (metaphorically of course) down a very dark valley and for that I am eternally grateful. I emphatically recommend Greg Smith and Associates for all of your legal needs. I will provide an update, and hopefully unchanged review, once Greg Smith is completely done with our case and fulfills all promises.
