Brian D. Smith, Esq., attorney and CPA
I'm a sole practitioner, so the person you speak to at the first call is the person who does the work.
An attorney who started in tax
Brian D. Smith is licensed as an attorney and as a CPA. He was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1986. Before opening his law office in 1991, he worked as a tax manager for one of the "big four" accounting firms in Miami.
Since opening his practice, Brian has handled a range of estate and real estate matters, large and small.

One attorney, start to finish
I handle each matter myself. There are no associates or staff, so the person you speak to at the first call is the person who files your documents and appears in court if it comes to that.
I explain what is happening in plain language, and I tell you what comes next at each stage.
What I do, and what I don't
I handle probate and trust administration after a death, landlord evictions, Lady Bird deeds, and real estate purchases and sales. I don't draft wills or trusts, and I don't represent tenants. If your matter falls outside what I do, I'll tell you.
Talk to me directly
Call or book a time, and you'll be speaking to me, not a receptionist.
