Consulted Attorney 2026I contacted Marco Smith Law seeking representation for an FCRA matter after experiencing serious communication and case-handling issues with prior counsel. From the outset, I explained exactly what had happened, why I was looking for new representation, and the delays I had already endured. Attorney Larry Smith indicated that he was familiar with concerns others had experienced with my prior law firm, which led me to believe my situation was being taken seriously and that I would receive a prompt decision regarding representation. Instead, I spent weeks waiting for an answer. Information was provided, follow-up discussions occurred, and the firm was fully aware that time was important and that I was attempting to avoid repeating the same mistakes I had already experienced with prior counsel. Despite that, I was left waiting without a definitive answer while valuable time continued to pass. What makes this especially frustrating is that the firm knew exactly why I was contacting them. They knew I was coming from a situation involving communication problems, delays, and uncertainty. Yet I found myself dealing with more delays, more uncertainty, and more waiting. If the firm had no intention of taking the case, I should have been told that promptly so I could continue searching for representation elsewhere. Instead, I was left in limbo for weeks waiting for a decision that ultimately went nowhere. My issue is not that the firm declined the case. Attorneys are free to choose what matters they accept. My issue is the amount of time wasted reaching that decision despite knowing the circumstances and urgency from the beginning. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Marco Smith Law to anyone looking for timely communication or prompt decisions regarding representation.
