Assault refers to threatening someone with immediate harm. You don't have to actually make physical contact with another person to be charged with assault. The person who is assaulted must be in fear of immediate bodily injury, however. If you threaten someone with a weapon but never use it, you are guilty of assault.

Worst attorney I've ever seen . Turns out he was working with my x wife's attorney and not me at all. Don't waste your time or money on this guy. This man sent in 27,000 dollars of extra money in that I didn't make to have the courts set child support on..Funny when your new Attorney has done more for you in 3 weeks than this guy did in many many months!!

Great attorney who is down to earth and honest. I've never had any issues reaching him or getting him to return my phone calls. Got me a great deal when other lawyers I spoke with told me they couldn't help me. Personally I just love his secretary/wife Rhonda. They could have their own reality show. Thanks again Mr. Smith!

Jeff has been a great attorney for my case. He is respectful and genuinely cared about my best interest. He fought hard to get me the best possible outcome for my case and I couldnt be more pleased with the representation I have received. Not only that, but the lady/ladies he has working for him are awesome. They are always nice and very pleasant when i call or come in, and its comforting. Definitely made the whole process much easier! Yes sometimes he can be hard to reach but what attorney isnt?! Huge thank you to Smith Law Office.

He got in fights with his wife while I was in his office. He sent mail to the wrong Steve joh. He even called the wrong person thinking it was me. Worst lawyer I ever had. Might as well not if had one. He even had the nerve to tell me I still owe him money. About missed my court dates because he was calling the wrong person. Worst divorce lawyer ever. Only reason I used him he was the cheapest then after it was over u owed him more money. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. I WOULD GO ALONE. better off
