Steve Smith was not just our attorney—he was someone who stood beside us when we needed someone in our corner the most. For over a year, he supported us, listened to us, guided us, and fought tirelessly for us against DHHS. There were times when this journey felt incredibly difficult, but Steve never stopped fighting for us. He believed in us and stayed by our side until the very end. Today, we can finally say that the fight is over, and it ended in our favor. We know we could not have gotten through this journey without Steve’s dedication, knowledge, and unwavering support. There truly are no words big enough to express how grateful we are. Steve, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for fighting for us, for standing beside us, and for never giving up when we needed you most. We will never forget what you did for us and the difference you made in our lives.

Doesn't respond well. Promised me a lot at initial consultation, then once paid became scarce. Missed some important deadlines as well that would've been beneficial to my case. (I've also noticed that a lot of the good reviews are mostly from the same month/year.)

Blair Jones has been an excellent attorny representing us. Timely responses, thoroughly explained everything and listened to every concern I had. Would recommend to anyone that finds themselves in need of representation.

These guys fired or strongly recommended finding a new firm after violating my HIPPA Rights in a supposed Mediation that I was not given the 10 days to prepare for. It was less than 72 hours notice, and when I appeared on Zoom the coming Monday at 1 PM where Walter Told me how it was going to work after realizing I couldn’t get my microphone didn’t work so he, Walter said that he would do a 3 way call between himself, opposing counsel and myself. I was then told how the Zoom meeting would go without given the opportunity to oppose Walter talking with Jesse Rutter having ex parté communications without Bill but since my microphone wasn’t working and Walter had to push mute every single time but forgot to on the final conversation where Walter said: “Omg this is the worst client I’ve ever had,it’s not even 2 PM and I’m already ready to crack open this bottle of Scotch! Then he said to Jesse Rutter, I don’t think we’re going to get him to work anything out because he probably is brain damaged from the at least three TBI’s, (Traumatic Brain Injuries), especially the one where he was thrown out through the driver’s side window after snapping off a telephone pole, crossing, crashing into a tree head first! Afterwards they ended the conversation with typical “goodbyes” but not before Walter got one more slanderous comment in, saying: I don’t know who I can pass him off to because they’re going to want to kill me!

So when I was sure Jesse had disconnected I quickly said: You might as well start drinking that scotch, because I heard Everything you two said and I will be filing reports with the Maine Bar Association. So S.S.T.L had a different attorney call me and try and get me to sign a paper saying that I wouldn’t sue Walter or the Firm which I refused to do and therefore they waited until after my stepdad grew a pair and finally called to threaten me so I did what the law called 911 and was recommended to file a PFA against him which I did after notifying the new attorney from S.S.T.L’s that I had talked with but never heard back from after refusing to sign the paper saying that I wouldn’t sue the Firm and Walter Foster for malpractice and slander that could have caused the case to be lost.

Their firm has since filed a motion to withdraw as my counsel which I responded to in writing on June 9th, 2026, the day of the PFA hearing because I didn’t want Walter to be able to destroy Any of the records they had but they did anyway because I just got notified by mail that the judge said I didn’t turn the documents in, in writing, within the 20 day deadline, which I did turn a 5 page handwritten statement on June 9th but for some reason it never got to the judge and she awarded the withdrawal of counsel request. Now there’s no record of Walter ever working for Steve Smith’s Law firm except for the emails that I saved from the emails that I saved with his full name and email address! The MBA couldn’t even find it!
