Incredibly unethical law practice. He married a relative to opposing party in a custody issue that had severe domestic violence and abuse issues at the core of the legal action. As a result of this, his former client lost everything she owned, not once, not twice but three times because she did not realize his involvement in Abuse-By-Proxy game play (using third parties to do your dirty work for you). This went on over a 15-year-period. See the history of Maryse Wagner - Philip Singer - Las Vegas Legal Services Providers - and RUSSELL AND SABRINA THORNE VS MARYSE WAGNER GROUP, MARYSE WAGNER, PHILIP SINGER, LAS VEGAS LEGAL SERVICES PROVIDERS. Maryse Wagner had her name changed to SILVIANNE STEINBACH and illegally sealed (2006) after losing this legal action which barred her from working in any capacity in the legal field. Because the former client found out who she was, her history of involvement as a third-party abuser in custodial interference action and the original name change illegally sealed in 2006 by now disbarred Philip Singer ~ Attorney James Smith then filed A SECOND NAME CHANGE within a 2 year period (2008) which was denied by the court. This was done so she could assume a paralegal position within his FRAUD FACTORY CONEXA-LLC.COM (on-line legal services). Both parties have history of doing things like SEALING LIFE-TIME OWED CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS VIA LEGAL FRAUD FILINGS CLAIMING AND GRANTING SEALING BASED ON FRAUD PATERNITY CLAIMS (Patricia Luginbuhl VS WAYNE J DION = relative to STEINBACH/AKA MARYSE WAGNER) - and changing ADJUDICATED RECORDS ON FILE IN FAMILY COURT to reflect same. They do all their work ON LINE INTERNET - because that is the easiest way to pull AFFINITY FRAUD and LEGAL FRAUD. When victims of these two people try to expose them for what they are, they retaliate by filing law suits that are currently (January 2013) going to be the means by which they end up hanging themselves. Much of the legal fraud they accomplished in the Clark County Family Court system has impacted former clients who move to other states, when they involve others in third-party abusive tactics to deliberately DESTABILIZE the former client's family life (Abuse-By-Proxy). Just go and ask others who are currently facing legal problems who life in other states because of the type of mind games they play with people on the internet via AFFINITY FRAUD. DO NO USE SERVICES OF JAMES E. SMITH (NEVADA STATE BAR #0052) AND/OR CONEXA-LLC.COM. AS A RESULT OF ALL OF THE FOREGOING THAT IS NOW COMING TO PUBLIC AWARENESS, JAMES E SMITH (NEVADA STATE BAR #0052) HAS SINCE LOST HIS PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE (01/02/2013). BUYER BEWARE
1. QUOTE: "First of all, I would never be the attorney for a client if I was married to the opposing party or even a friend of the opposing party."
(a) Gee, then explain why, in 2005 when you came to visit me in Boston, when I told you I had figured it all out, you stated: "I know, that's why I've stayed involved because I want to get her for what she did to me (your situation in June 1999) and also to you" --- essentially confirming this biological tie?
2. QUOTE: "Because of attorney/client privilege I cannot go into detail, but Ms. Smithers wanted me to sue the Family Court itself and her Judge for damages and support, and, when I did not want to take that case because of liability and immunity issues, she retaliated against me by ranting on the internet libelous statements which have no truth whatsover."
(a) You had some problems with your license to practice law at this point in time (Autumn 1999), so you could not handle such an issue. I wanted to file a JUDICIAL COMPLAINT, you made sure to contact me, as you wanted to review the complaint before I sent it in, even taking me out for coffee on that day. Had to be sure you were in a position to tip Judge Steele off, given fact that he was never sent for court ordered alcohol testing 8 months into the custody issue. That "personal attention" you claim to give to each case proven to be yet ANOTHER FALSE ADVERTISEMENT, as low and behold that day in court you were just as surprised as Drew Christiansen (his attorney) that NO RANDOMIZED ALCOHOL TESTING HAD BEEN DONE OVER THIS 8 MONTH TIME PERIOD
JUDICIAL VIOLATION: DERELICTION IN ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES, which had devastating outcomes for myself and daughter.
(b) It was not until autumn of 2010 (that's a decade later Mr. Smith) that I started exposing your Conexa-LLC legal fraud factory and this was AFTER
(c) I pointed out to you (spring 2008), as I was under the deliberate false impression given by you that you "wanted to get her too", that Steinbach/Wagner was advertising a "do it yourself divorce kit on-line" which carried your endorsement reading: "Hi, I'm Attorney James E Smith and even I would recommend this to clients". You even emailed me stating: "I've reported her to the Nevada State Bar for false advertisement and using my name and credentials". I still have that email Mr. Smith, even with the corresponding header showing point of origin. I'll be posting that to my social media soon. Thought all that documentation was gone? It's not.
3. QUOTE: "I am not married to Ms. Steinbach. Her name changes were her own business and I am sure that she had her own reasons, but Ms. Smithers seems to enjoy cyberstalking Ms. Steinbach, Conexa, me and others too. "
(a) See Clark County Recorder Records #D-075248 Marriage Certificate between Maryse Christine Wagner and James E Smith.
(b) There is no divorce on record in Clark County, although the marriage may have been annulled and sealed (most likely).
(c) Case #06-D366541N filed on 11/26/06 when Wagner was in middle of law suit with Russell & Sabrina Thorne. Name changed from Wagner to Steinbach and then SEALED. Two reasons this was done, which I have stated elsewhere in social media (1) I found out who she was and what she had been involved in over the course of a 6-year-period and (2) Ramifications of the Thorne law suit for her working as paralegal in the future. On file in family court is the second attempt by Steinbach to change her name within a 2 year period (gee like this is a normal thing to do), filed by you, and denied by the court.

(d) While in FallonNV (Mar 2002-Apr 2003) all those strange emails I received purportedly from you, which you claimed were the result of being "hacked" by your former "wife" (Wagner/Steinbach). Regarding your claims of "Cyberstalking", when you need to know how a crime is being carried out, you go to the crime scene to investigate, in this case it was through the use of the internet via methods such as "affinity fraud", hence, investigation focuses on internet activity of those who you, yourself told me were involved.
4. QUOTE: "Finally, because of various defamation published by Ms. Smithers, I have had to file a lawsuit against Ms. Smithers for defamation, and obtain a Judgment which includes a restraining order and money damages against Ms. Smithers for irreparable harm she has caused me, my company Conexa and Ms. Steinbach."
(a) Filed Jan 2012~Three years later and you have yet to file that in the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts ... ?
5. QUOTE: "I have done thousands of cases in Clark County without incident and I have never been either successfully sued or had a valid complaint with any of the state Bars to which I am a member. "
(a) Abuse-by-proxy is your preferred methodology of fraud because it efficiently removes the perpetrator(s) from the realm of culpability in executing it's abusive actions with predictable results. You will eventually be held accountable for your fraud games.
6. QUOTE: "I am a 20+ member of the local Better Business Bureau with an A rating."
(a) Yes, your James E Smith LTD has held this membership. You neglect to mention that you were engaging in FALSE ADVERTISING when you started Conexa-LLC (a separate business entity) and just took the BBB logo and gave yourself a rating of A+, slapping it on your Conexa website, for which I have confirmation from SoNV BBB via history of emails in which, NOT ONLY DID THEY CONFIRM THIS AS FACT, BUT ALSO stated to me: "We are working with Mr. Smith to resolve the issues". THEY SHOULD HAVE REPORTED YOU TO THE STATE BAR ASSOCIATION FOR FALSELY ADVERTISING CONEXA WAS A BONAFIDE BBB MEMBER. Real red flag of corruption when your local BBB works to insulate corruption and fraud instead of exposing it.
7. QUOTE: "There is no corruption or legal fraud occurring except in the paranoid mind of Ms. Smithers who specializes in cyber attacks. Ignore this Complaint or talk to me for any clarifications, problems or questions. I provide personal attention at reasonable rates for your legal needs, and I am a straight shooter with over 30 years of experience as a lawyer. "
(a) See above documentation contained in the links provided. NOTE: Numerous "attorney reviews" he has published on lawyer rating sites were written by facebook friends.
8. I have had another attorney state to me: "James E Smith and his paralegal operations are a threat to public safety". After my 17-yr-ordeal, I'd have to agree with this. So pleased you responded because now everyone sees what a habitual liar you are.
9. QUOTE: "There is no corruption or legal fraud occurring except in the paranoid mind of Ms. Smithers who specializes in cyber attacks."
(a) See the divorce record of formerly known as Maryse Wagner and Paul Wagner (just got sentenced on felony charges for mortgage fraud in last year), 8th District Court. How many red flags of legal fraud do you see? Check the top right hand corner where it states what kind of legal action it is and then go to the first line of entries for OTHER ACTIONS. That's one MAJOR RED FLAG, there are others, but I'll save those for another time.
This Complaint is a vituperative diatribe by an emotionally disturbed woman. The truth is I won not only her case for custody and support, but also for termination of parental rights and an unrelated misdemeanor charge in Fallon, Nevada. First of all, I would never be the attorney for a client if I was married to the opposing party or even a friend of the opposing party. Ms. Smithers is under the delusion that my marketing consultant, Ms. Steinbach, is related to her ex-boyfriend with whom she had a child which was at issue in her custody case. There is no basis in reality for this allegation as the only thing that they have in common is that they are from the province of Quebec. Because of attorney/client privilege I cannot go into detail, but Ms. Smithers wanted me to sue the Family Court itself and her Judge for damages and support, and, when I did not want to take that case because of liability and immunity issues, she retaliated against me by ranting on the internet libelous statements which have no truth whatsover. Second of all, my office had no connection with attorney Phillip Singer's office and I had no involvement whatsoever in the lawsuits cited involving Mr. Singer and Ms. Steinbach which I understand settled. I am not married to Ms. Steinbach. Her name changes were her own business and I am sure that she had her own reasons, but Ms. Smithers seems to enjoy cyberstalking Ms. Steinbach, Conexa, me and others too. Finally, because of various defamation published by Ms. Smithers, I have had to file a lawsuit against Ms. Smithers for defamation, and obtain a Judgment which includes a restraining order and money damages against Ms. Smithers for irreparable harm she has caused me, my company Conexa and Ms. Steinbach. I have done thousands of cases in Clark County without incident and I have never been either successfully sued or had a valid complaint with any of the state Bars to which I am a member. I am a 20+ member of the local Better Business Bureau with an A rating. There is no corruption or legal fraud occurring except in the paranoid mind of Ms. Smithers who specializes in cyber attacks. Ignore this Complaint or talk to me for any clarifications, problems or questions. I provide personal attention at reasonable rates for your legal needs, and I am a straight shooter with over 30 years of experience as a lawyer.
I believe this complaint against this lawyer; it's way too easy for a lawyer to be dismissive if a persons complaints, say this lady is "crazy" "emotional", and in turn use pernicious intent to undermine her bringing the depth of deception and betrayal by her lawyer.
It's a cop out to say they suffer " mental illness, distress and instability" as he is not a medical doctor, nor has any substance to diagnose and judge another person.
Next this lawyer will say the client had PMS pre and post his services and try to redirect the focus of the seriously made allegations off of himself, and instead attempt to further destroy and belittle his former client. He seems like a manipulative #bully that will smooth-talk, redirect and go out if his way to not be exposed at any cost.
I wonder if he is a real estate dealer on line for swampland too?
Clean up this professional slanderer of his former client whom also gave out his former clients name, the fact they have kids and what his opinion is of her mental state that he is not qualified to diagnose. Do people actually believe this bully with a law degree; where's the bar on this guy?
