What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise Smith's responsiveness, knowledge of bankruptcy and debt relief, and ability to ease the stress of financial crisis. Two reviewers reported he was unreachable, missed callbacks, and steered them toward bankruptcy without exploring other options; one accused him of leaving their foreclosure case unmanaged.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Gemma & Karimi - Indianapolis Criminal Defense Lawyers

4.9(126)✓ Google-verified

Kevin Karimi and Ron Gemma deliver thorough criminal defense work with remarkable responsiveness. Clients consistently praise their willingness to explain the process plainly, answer late-night calls, and fight hard for outcomes. Kevin's team secured case dismissals, probation instead of prison time, and record expungements. Amanda, their paralegal, earned repeated mention for tireless follow-up and making clients feel genuinely valued rather than rushed through intake. The firm claims 25 years combined experience and serves Indianapolis and the metro. A small fraction of recent reviews flag refusals based on client personality, high retainers ($30,000 requested in one case), and one case of missed court dates. Most pricing praise centers on willingness to negotiate payment plans, though affordability claims in their advertising may overpromise to disabled clients on fixed income.
