MR. & Mrs.
Beth was very easy to work with. She was very professional in addressing all updates and revisions to our "Revocable Will." Her fee for the work done was very fair and reasonable. We will call on her for any future legal assistance. We are also recommending Beth to our two daughters for some legal work.

Excellent family law attorney
Beth recognized our concerns and was thorough in explaining the details while creating our complicated family Trust. When my husband passed away, she helped me to create my own. It's not always easy to discuss the end of life with our family but the consequences of not being prepared will mean the significant costs of probate. I won't hesitate to recommend Beth to more family and friends for their estate planning needs.

Professional and Respectful Legal Service
I engaged Ms. Serafini-Smith to facilitate the probate of my late wife's estate. She was courteous, informative and punctual with my case and put me at ease. Beth was always responsive to any inquiries I had during this process. I highly recommend her law firm to anyone in need of legal service. If she doesn't have the expertise, she will recommend another colleague that like her, can be trusted to handle your situation with care.

Two probate cases
Beth assisted me with my mother's probate in 2017 and we are now finishing my aunt's estate. Each situation had its own unique challenges. Beth has been very conscientious, efficient and honest. She made the process as easy as possible. My family and I are grateful for all her help.

What a pleasureable experience
When you think of dealing with attorneys, you cringe because the rep is they are uppity and full of themselves but our experience with Beth was just the opposite. Down home, casual, professional and very personable. She was efficient and timely and prepared our Will and documents quickly. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
