Daniel Smith was my attorney unyil he recently sent a request to withdrawal from my case that had no action for over a year and failed to inform me of an upcoming hearing. I foolishly signed the request to withdrawal representation as I thought the guardianship proceedings were over and moving into the divorce realm. However upon realizing this shady move and attempting to call the office to speak to him and getting the automatic response \"he's in a meeting\" followed by he's out on vacation, from the very rude receptionist. Unless you would rather risk  wasting thousands and jeopardize your future I would avoid. Sadly I see someone has had a similar experience and wish I had known before going with them.

They were recommended through friends at WSGR.\n\nMy mother-in-law fell and broke her hip which unfortunately left her in need of long term assistance. Once we came to learn about Medicaid and some of the potential benefits and challenges in applying, we reached out to Ira who on the surface made us feel like we would be taken care of. We were eager to engage.\n\nOn multiple occasions we asked for an engagement letter and a desire to compensate them. We kept being told, “wait until next week”, “let’s see how the care plan meeting goes”, “etc”. After three weeks of being told this, my mother-in-law was now being told she would have to be discharged - with nowhere to go.\n\nConfused and frustrated we called and spoke to Ira and he gave us a number to Neema Patel at an agency to tour assisted living facilities. Knowing that my mother-in-law’s financial condition was very poor, this went nowhere.\n\nFrantically, we called on a Thursday and begged to engage this law firm to start the Medicaid application.  We were told to call back next week.\n\nFinding it unacceptable, we asked to talk to the office manager. Surprisingly, one of the firm’s attorneys picked up, and calmed our concerns and share that our engagement letter along with a flat fee of 4k would be processed in the morning. We were relieved until an email arrived this morning informing us that they had no interest in representing my mother-in-law.\n\nWe are completely mortified that they may do this to another family. Three weeks were completely wasted and now our mother-in-law’s wellbeing is in jeopardy.\n\nOur suspicion is that Jessica (receptionist) was upset over us asking for this to be escalated. Upon calling this morning, she was extremely callous towards me asking for an explanation for their decision and proceeded to hang up on me.\n\nI would be extremely cautious of engaging this firm.","reviewerName":"Abraham Elias","isVerified":false,"caseType":null,"caseYear":null,"caseOutcome":null,"status":"APPROVED","isPublished":true,"helpfulCount":0,"unhelpfulCount":0,"source":"GOOGLE","externalId":"ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQ5bjQzMHZBRRAB","reviewUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQ5bjQzMHZBRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xf34aec81d2416997!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgID9n430vAE%7C%7C?hl=en-US","profileUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113371152004252076415/reviews?hl=en-US","ownerAnswer":null,"ownerTimestamp":null,"reviewTimestamp":"2024-03-22T18:25:47.000Z","timeAgo":"a year ago","isLocalGuide":false,"createdAt":"2026-05-08T22:50:53.186Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-08T22:50:53.186Z","lawyerId":"c9af292c-4492-4777-b7eb-2383331ab967","response":null}],"intelligence":null}}
