Hired Attorney John Hunter Smith

John Hunter Smith helped me out tremendously and I could not have asked for a better handling of my situation. It was handled promptly and professionally, yet never made me feel uncomfortable during the entire process.

Hired Attorney John Hunter Smith

I need a first rate attorney that had track record of being a fighter and I have never seen an attorney fight more than Mr.Smith and his concern for me and response to my questions were above and beyond. If for any reason I needed a criminal atty again he would be my first and only choice. When he gets in the court room you would think you had hired Race Horse Hanes.

Hired Attorney J. Michael Young

In my opinion: he is / was rude, lied and was unkind and non-caring. Very judgemental without cause. Would not recommend him or Wynne Smith &Young Law Firm. Their receptionist is nice. I do not recommend J. Michael Young nor the Wynne Smith & Yound law firm.
