I am on parole for a possession of a controlled substance case that happened 18 years ago. Last year I was arrested for Manufacture/Delivery of a controlled substance, penalty group 2, over 4g under 200g and immediately bonded out. I contacted John, informed him that a blue warrant was issued for me and that I needed the BEST legal representation Texas had to offer, he assured me I came to the right place. He had already been recommended by many other Texas attorneys. The Grand Jury handed down an indictment of only Possession of a controlled substance, but it was STILL a 1st degree felony and I was on parole, which means I was facing 25 years to LIFE in prison with an enhancement. In the 5 months before my arraignment John diligently worked to find the best outcome and gave me sound legal advice that helped me wrap up all my business and personal affairs in preparation for the inevitable, time back in prison. Miraculously, John was able to get my charge reduced to Possession of a controlled substance under 1 gram, a State Jail Felony, which was THEN reduced to a Class A misdemeanor, (1244B) punishable by up to 365 days in jail. When I went to court the morning of my arraignment I was at the mercy of John Hunter Smith's legal representation, I had to trust his plan and hope he would do what he said he could do, but at the time of arraignment, still had a 1st degree felony. I was arrested that morning of arraignment on the parole violation (Blue Warrant) and 46 days later John took me before the Judge to sign for 46 days time served, on a Class A misdemeanor. 14 days later my parole was reinstated and I was released back on supervision! So to put my miraculous situation into perspective, when I walked into John's office with a Manufacture/Delivery of over 4 grams charge, on parole, he told me he was the BEST attorney for the case, but he was completely "by-the-book" and refused top do anything "underhanded". I retained him on his word. Seven months later I walked out of jail after serving 60 days total and only a new misdemeanor on my record! I will be forever grateful for John and his paralegal April for giving me another chance at life.

John Hunter Smith is a great representation of counsel he was awsome in communicating with me and making sure I understood the charges against me he also did everything in his power to make sure I was treated Fair in my situation he always keep me informed when new details were available he is spot on and is knowledgeable in what he's doing that's more than what I can say about any other lawyer I have encountered in the past

Mr. Smith was my representative during the time of my case. His staff and himself were always helpful with any questions or advice I needed. John told me during the earlier days that if I would listen to him and follow his instruction, we would be successful in our case. I did everything he asked of me along the way, and my case turned out with the best possible outcome. I could not have asked for anymore from Mr. Smith and his team. Thank you so much for your help along the way. -C.T.

After 2 years wasting time with my first attorney I found John Hunter. One of the best decisions of my life, literally. Within 2 months of taking my case, he took it to trial and we won! EVEN in Collin County. I can’t say enough about him and his team. He practiced what he preached. Made me feel like his only client and studied my case thoroughly, knew it inside and out. He gets my highest recommendation.

John Hunter Smith and his team provided me with tremendous hope when all I was facing was despair! They treated me with respect and dignity throughout the toughest legal storms of my life! Through his genuine care, compassion, and empathy, John Hunter Smith won my complete trust from the very start of my legal process. His calm demeanor and fierce determination helped pull off a huge miracle at the resolve of my cases! John and his team are like no other anywhere! Thank you for making a HUGE difference in my life John!

I was faced with a charge of sexual assault. From the beginning, John Hunter knew exactly what needed to happen to help me fight this horrific false allegation. John immediately began organizing a game plan and put all of his experience and resources to work. He knew who to get involved in my case including a phycologist, private detective and other expert witnesses. This was a long battle with the DA’s office. John Hunter knew a lot of work was going to have to happen in my case for the truth to prevail. He worked hard on my case for several months. I knew if John Hunter was working by the hour, the retainer we agreed on up front would have run out long before the charges against me were dismissed. But, John Hunter was so passionate about my case that he worked just as hard at the end of the case as he did at the beginning. I spent months in the court house watching the same people. Defendants with their defense lawyers. Fishing for plea deals and getting passes until the following month. Not me, I was prepared to fight to the end and truth would prevail. I had that confidence because John Hunter Smith was right there, hand in hand with me every step of the way. I cannot express enough gratitude about the effort John Hunter put into helping me fight this false allegation. The sexual assault charges against me were dismissed 1 week before my jury trial began. If you hire John Hunter Smith to represent you, you will know exactly what you are facing. The good and the bad. Worst case scenarios and best case scenarios. John Hunter will make you prepared for the worst, but you will have the confidence to know that the best is the only acceptable outcome. I will save you the uncertainty of looking for and hoping to find the right criminal defense attorney. The rest of your life might weigh in the balance as mine did. If you choose John Hunter Smith you will not regret your decision.

John Hunter Smith does what he says. He said he likes to fight in court and doesn't like to lose. He won my case and it was a tough fight. I hope I never have to buy would definitely use him again. I personally recommend him

Mr Smith was my attorney in a felony case where i was facing jail time. Mr Smith took time and spent time with me to go over every aspect of my case, he also worked diligently in getting things in my past in another state thrown out. He is very detailed and meticulous in his work and is a very skilled trial attorney. He is very honest and upfront about everything and he follows through on his word. He was a life saver for me and he also has a assistant named April who was very kind and assisting. The whole staff there are very accommodating and even his Partner Mr. Wynne even came by and helped with jury selection and that was something i was also very appreciative of. I would recommend Mr Smith to anyone looking for a honest and compassionate attorney. Thank you for everything Mr. Smith

Mr. Smith was my defense lawyer for the last 3 1/2 years! Mr. Smith stayed up on things always kept me in the know on what was going on and was going to happen. He always made sure everything was in my best interest even if It didn't seem like it at the time. He is a very thorough attorney and great at what he does. I highly recommend anyone that is needing a defense attorney that will go above and beyond to win for his client.

When I meet John I was terrified of my life , he meet with me in jail , he asked if I wanted to get help and I said yes , that's when we began the process of planning on getting the proper help I needed , it was definitely a process , I followed directions and took his expertise advise and it was a life changing event for me , I cannot explain into words what this guy did for me , this guy is by far the most experience and best attorney in North Texas , and he went his extra mile to get the results and the right help I needed to change my life around for the better . I would highly recommend this guy for any drug charges Dwi's or criminal he is the best they make them . Thank you again John .

John is a smart, thorough, and dedicated attorney. He took what seemed like an open and shut case and through his preparation and research managed to out maneuver the prosecution to get our case dismissed. I would certainly hire him again.
