About Us

Primary Practice Areas

Wills & Estates

Death and taxes: said to be the two certainties of life. It is important to make sure that these certainties are properly planned for. A little advanced planning can ensure that your wishes are followed, that loved ones are cared for, that your assets are protected, and that taxes are minimized in the event of death or disability.

Corporate Commercial

We know that small business owners have enough to do without worrying about the legal issues surrounding their enterprise. Recognizing that small businesses face many of the same needs and issues as larger corporations, Beresh Smith Law is dedicated to finding and creating solutions for every phase of your business, and can specifically assist entrepreneurial clients.

Real Estate

Real property is often the largest financial investment most people make. Beresh Smith Law assists clients by helping ensure that real estate contractual obligations are appropriate in law, and appropriately handled in practice.

Need Legal Advice?

No matter your situation, remember the importance of taking action to ensure that you remain in control of your circumstances. Too many people wait until it is too late. A little help in the beginning can save you a lot of trouble in the end.
