Knows Texas probate

Hired her for a complicated probate case. She explained all the steps and kept me informed all the way.

Highly Recommend Beth Ann Serafini-Smith

I had the pleasure of working with Beth Serafini-Smith during a particularly challenging time, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first consultation, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the law, a strategic mindset, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible out...come for my case. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and empathy were truly remarkable. She meticulously explained every phase of the process in straightforward, accessible language, ensuring I always felt acknowledged and supported. No question was insignificant, and no detail escaped her attention. Due to Beth Serafini-Smith's outstanding skill and unwavering commitment, my case was handled with remarkable efficiency and concluded favorably. I am profoundly thankful for her assistance and would choose Serafini-Smith Law Firm again in the future.

Highly Recommend

Beth did a great job informing us of what we should have to fit our needs. The process was very easy and Beth and her team were pleasant to work with.

Great experience!

Beth was amazing to work with - we had an extremely complicated will/trust/etc situation. She is very knowledgeable about the best ways to set up your will to achieve what you need/want for your heirs. We had a ton of questions and she was so patient to discuss and explain everything we threw at he...r! We had worked with another local estate attorney and eventually gave up because that attorney just wasn’t understanding the complexity of our situation. Beth was great to listen, explain and execute what we needed.

Excellent Estate Assistance

Beth assisted me through the estate/probate process when my mother passed away. She was wonderful to work with. She always made sure I understood what was going on and what was required from me. She was also very easy to reach whenever I had any questions for her. I was dreading everything after ...a couple intro calls with other larger firms (where you don't even speak to the lawyer that will represent you on the intro call), and I was so happy I kept looking and found Beth. I highly recommend Beth for estate assistance.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
