SmithMarco, P.C. - Deerfield, IL

I 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.

I contacted SmithMarco Lawfirm after being told by a major bank that I would not receive any money back from a scam incident that involved a scam of over $50,000 from my account. I was reluctant to give them any personal information and skeptical about what the law said and what they could do for me. But in the end they were able to pressure the bank into returning my money and even got me 10's of thousands more than I lost in the incident. I am very grateful to SmithMarco-- Larry and David for all of their hard work on my case. They were very professional and proactive throughout my experience with them.

Our experience working with Larry Smith of SmithMarco was outstanding. Larry was extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. The guidance that he gave us was accurate and quickly helped fully resolve our particular issue involving a credit card fraud dispute. We are extremely grateful to him for providing a roadmap to follow that resulted in the outcome that was most beneficial to us. We highly recommend him without hesitation.

I had a nerve-wracking experience dealing with a fraud case (bank kept refusing to refund my money), and while I initially reached out to several lawyers, Larry was the one who truly stood out. Even though we didn’t end up formally working together, he went out of his way to offer me several calls, walk me through the entire process, and make a scary situation feel much more manageable. He was the only one who took the time to actually have a conversation with me instead of just asking for documents or sending me straight to paperwork. In the end, his generosity with his time and his clear explanations made a huge difference for me. I felt supported and informed, which really helped me handle the situation with more confidence. If you’re looking for someone who’s not just knowledgeable but also genuinely cares, I can’t recommend him highly enough. I hope I never need a fraud case lawyer again but if I do I’m happy to know he’s out there
