Claude S. Smith recently helped me make a big decision about my mother's estate. He walked me through all the legal options with just the right amount of support. Using more than his estate planning expertise, he showed true compassion for the difficulties I faced. He didn't tell me what to do, but asked lots of guiding questions that led me to a desirable outcome. I appreciated his patience and wisdom.
