Prefessional and prompt

Michael responded to our inquiry and answered all of our questions about our legal matter the day we called. He helped to find us another attorney who had more expertise while still remaining available for consultations along the way. We appreciated his approach to finding us the best counsel for o...ur specific situation.

Michael Smith set up a living trust for my wife and I and helped us choose the right business entity for our small business start-up. Michael was responsive to all our questions and explained legalize in terms we could understand.
