If you've got time and $ to waste,hire Darryl Smith. Foresmost,I have much respect for attorneys with professionalism and ethics.However,by the time you finish reading this document,you will see that attorney Darryl Smith is not one of them.This is one of the reasons I have documented my interactions with him as evidence,in the form of text screenshots,emails,and phone recordings.Unfortunately, I could not body cam video record some of his wrongdoings,due to the fact that he never met me in person ever.My experience as a client of his,showed me that he does not have the best interest of the client at heart.Mr.Smith mislead me from the beginning and through out my case due to his lack of integrity.I feel robbed of my $1400 retainer fee due to his negligences as follow:Unethical-intentionally gives me false information.I have told him of my decision to not plead to the charge.For no civil suit would be possible for civil rights violations after the misdemeanor criminal case is over.Despite him knowing that I cannot sue if I take the plea deal,he exhorts me to take it.My new criminal defense lawyer and other lawyers also agree that he gave me bad counsel.Him mentioning to me that he has done civil suits before,shows he knew better.Incompetent/Deceptive-He misled me by claiming I got a civil suit for Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Distress against the retailer.According to Florida 's impact rule on Emotional distress cases,I would have to have been physically injured too,in order to file this claim.He has done many Personal injury cases before so he knew this fact and chose not to tell me. I found out about the impact rule by other lawyers instead of my own lawyer.The fact is, I can only file a civil suit for civil rights violations due to police misconduct.Had I hearkened to his bad advice to take the plea deal,I would not have been eligible to pursue this civil suit after my criminal case is over.Uncooperative-Counsel did not send me plea deal paperwork despite my request.In addition,he did not want to cooperate with my private investigator which would have put my case in a better position to win at trial.He left me in the dark.Even the police report discovery,he did not furnish a copy to me early on in the case. Only towards the end of our client-attorney relationship,he finally emails me a copy of the police report. Bad Character-Also he is a pathological liar and I have evidence providing it.This Florida bar ethics breaking attorney,said he will give me a copy of the video discovery and did not keep this promise either.He also mentioned that I would sit with him to "come up with a game plan in my defense.Will follow up and keep you posted".He never came through with this.The video was the cream of the crop for proving my innocence but Mr.Smith dropped the ball. My private investigator and family also agree that he just wanted to rush and plea deal my case close.The client has the right to go to trial even if their lawyer repeatedly behave in a manner to discourage the client.Also, I emailed him detailed pages of the truth of the incident. Yet, he never responded to me to show what portion and how he would use it in my defense.He left me hanging,so I felt alone the whole time.I never felt like he was with me,just in hiding at a long distance.If he had told me truth,in that I will never see him face to face,I would have never retained him.He was a perfect example of a ghost attorney,sending others in his place who weren't as knowledgeable.Bad Counsel- I was the victim of the misdemeanor crime of Simple Assault.The perpetrator was the only one that was suppose to be arrested.However,due to the amount of money Walmart(perpetrators' employer) donates to APD,the cop falsely arrested me instead.I expressed to Darryl Smith that I would like to press charges on her.The Simple Assault Statues Of Limitation was for 1 yr at that time.Pressing charges could have been done the same year of incident but he gave me bad advice(to not pursue charges,to wait until after my case is resolved).What helps ur case,he will object.

Response from owner

For context, the above review was written under a fake profile by a former client who was declared incompetent to proceed in October 2023. We were also forced to withdraw off of her case due to nonpayment of contractual trial fees despite several extensions and attempts to collect. She was also nearly held in contempt by the judge during this case for illegally recording the judge in open court without his permission. The sad part is that client claims she feels like we robbed her of $1400, when in actuality our firm charged a greatly reduced fee in order to try to help out this client due to her mental health issues and financial situation. What’s even more sad is that through months of hard negotiating with the state, we were able to get the state to agree to no jail, no probation, and no fines on a case where several witnesses (including a uniformed police officer) observed her being verbally abusive to store employees and police, and refuse to leave Walmart after numerous peaceful attempts by employees and staff to get her to leave after the store closed. When she expressed that she did not want to accept any offer and was “the victim” of some sort of conspiracy by the store and police to batter her, we immediately moved to schedule the case for trial and attempted to collect the contractual trial fee from her. Despite several refusals to pay, we continued to extend the deadline to pay. We only moved to withdraw from the case when it was clear that she had no intention to honor her contractual obligation. That being said, we will address this review point by point despite the fact that it is completely false, written under a fake profile, admits to committing new criminal activity (recording phone calls without consent), and is completely libelous in nature. 1. Her review actually confesses to committing a crime against one of our attorneys, as recording phone calls without consent is a criminal offense in the state in Florida 2. She says that we advised her about a civil lawsuit, but her signed contract clearly states we were retained to handle the criminal case only 3. She insinuates that she wanted to take her case to trial and we somehow tried to force her to take a plea, but strangely enough she complains later in her review about us not sending over the plea deal paperwork for a plea she apparently was never interested in 4. She says we extorted her to take a plea, but we actually only withdrew from her case because we were setting the case for trial and she refused to pay our trial fee per her signed contract 5. She accuses us of not sending her a police report that we emailed to her several times and is also available online at any time 6. The review tries to make it seem like she was the victim of a crime, when the reality is the evidence showed she was rude and abusive to store employees and staff, and was clearly unlawfully trespassing on store property 7. She refuses to take any accountability for her actions, everybody else is to blame for her behavior (police, the store, her lawyer, a conspiracy) except herself We are truly saddened by your blatantly false review and nasty libelous personal attacks because our firm genuinely worked hard for you and got a fantastic result on your case. We wish you nothing but the best and sincerely hope that you are able get the treatment and services that you need.

Kimberly Gordon

Grateful for finding exceptional attorney Ken Eulo who went above and beyond to prove my son's innocence in unjust robbery charges. His team deserves praise too! Thanks to Ken's efforts, my son avoided extensive jail time and received probation. Ken provided peace of mind and exceeded expectations in preparing for the case. I highly recommend his services.

Response from owner

Thank you, Kimberly! Your kind words about Ken and our team’s dedication mean so much. We’re thrilled to have made a positive impact during such a challenging time for your family.

Mr. Zlatkin is a straightforward and blunt attorney who provided excellent representation in my case. He handled it with finesse and patience, even when it became complicated. He doesn't sugarcoat things but provides realistic expectations. If you need immediate assistance, I highly recommend giving him a call. Be honest with him, and he will do his best to help you.

Response from owner

Thank you, Guadalupe, for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear how Mr. Zlatkin's straightforward approach and patience made a difference in your case. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Iris Zeno

This firm appointed Rosa to my sons case and was ongoing for a year and a half, now that we are at pre trial hearings she drops a bomb that’s she leaving the firm and mind you never answered any phone calls or questions we had the entire time on the case, we’re from CT so didn’t know any better and just went with the flow my son is 24years old and is facing some real serious charges, I won’t wish this firm on my worst enemy!!! Half of the 10K paid down the drain with no results at all not even an offer almost two years later….and to make matters worst they came to court today because I had a death in the family and couldn’t make my last 3 payments and withdraw themselves off the case, after I spoke to their paralegal Isabella this past Monday saying I would make two payments on Friday once I got paid. Definitely not a firm for the people RUN pass this firm I promise you won’t regret it!!!!!!! Horrible Horrible Firm Please Share People Deserve to know the truth about them!! The only reason for the one star I wasn’t able to upload this review without picking a star, but NO Stars this firm has red flags all over it💔

Response from owner

Good evening Iris - unfortunately you have not made a single payment for many months now. Most firms would withdraw after one missed payment. We are not like most firms and granted you a huge grace period for your missed payments. However, there reaches a point where we simply cannot continue representation without payment. There was not a single complaint about representation until we were forced to withdraw. If you would like us to continue on with your case all that we ask is that you catch back up with the balance owed. We think that is more than decent and fair. We wish you the best either way. Thank you!

Q. Natasha Romenoff

We needed to find a Dui Lawyer in Orlando Florida during our last vacation. I search Yelp to find the Best DUI Lawyers in Orlando and found Smith and Eulo. Ken Eulo and Daryll Smit helped us from start to finish with our DUI case and we received the outcome we deserved. DUI Machines need to be tested before administered as well as you must be put in a room to be watched for 20 minuted before taking the 2nd text. If you put something in your mouth or throw up, the 20 minutes starts over again. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome. Smith and Eulo of Orlando and Seminole County Florida are fantastic DUI and Criminal lawyers.

Natasha, thank you for sharing your experience with our DUI and Criminal Defense Lawyers

Willie Smith

I reached out to Mr. Smith-Johnson regarding a serious legal matter that led me to face the possibility of extended jail time. I was scared that I’d be taken away from my family for a simple misunderstanding. After explaining to Mr. Smith-Johnson my situation, he explained to me all my options available in handling this and assured me to not be fearful because he would do all in his power to get an outcome that favored me. Mr. Smith-Johnson kept me up to date on all updates and made me feel welcome and as if I was an actual attorney myself. If I can say any one thing about Mr. Smith-Johnson and what he does is that he believes in the service of helping. Helping you understand. Helping you understand the process. But most importantly, helping you in your time of need. Thanks again Mr. Smith-Johnson! My family and I are forever indebted to you! If you’re ever in need of an attorney, I’d HIGHLY SUGGEST you reach out to Mr. Smith-Johnson!

Response from owner

Willie, thank you for the recommendation. Our Criminal Defense Attorneys are committed to their profession and to our clients. They go out of their way to preserve the rights of our clients!
