About Marc
Biography
Marc D. Smith – Estate Planning Attorney & CPA (Inactive)
Founder, Law Offices of Marc D. Smith, LLC
Serving Ohio and Florida Families
For more than 20 years, I have helped families navigate estate planning and probate with clarity, dignity, and care. As both an attorney and a CPA (inactive), I offer a unique perspective that blends legal insight with financial understanding. My focus is on helping people protect what matters most.
I started this boutique firm to deliver something different: calm, personalized guidance through some of life’s most important legal decisions. Clients are never rushed or overwhelmed. Instead, they gain confidence that their wishes will be honored and their loved ones supported when it matters most.
Our core services include:
- Flat-fee estate planning: Wills, Revocable Living Trusts, Powers of Attorney
- Probate and trust administration in Ohio and Florida
- Tax-conscious planning and asset protection
- Business formation and legacy transition planning
Clients often describe the experience as a relief. The process is clear, complete, and centered around their values. My goal is to make estate planning less intimidating and more empowering.
