A Pledge Made in Law School, Kept Every Day Since
Smith & Williams was founded in 2018, but the story starts in 2005, when two Florida A&M College of Law students met at first-year orientation and pledged to build a firm that would embolden their communities, educate the common person, fight for those who need a voice, and empower families to create stronger legacies.
Ten years and 20+ years of combined legal experience later, that pledge became this firm. We believe estate planning is beneficial for everyone, regardless of your age, background, or current financial status, and we commit to getting to know you and understanding the unique needs of your estate.
What You Can Expect, Start to Finish
No mystery, no jargon, no pressure. Just clear expectations from the first conversation to the final signature.
A Real Conversation First
Your first call isn't routed to a salesperson. You talk directly with an experienced estate planning attorney who listens to your goals before recommending anything.
A Plan Tailored To Florida Law
Every document is drafted under Florida probate and trust statutes, specific to your county and your family's exact needs, never a one-size-fits-all template.
No Surprises, No Pressure
We explain every clause in plain English before you sign. If something isn't clear, we keep going until it is. You stay in control at every decision point.
Done Right The First Time
We coordinate notarization, witnesses, and secure storage so your plan is legally valid, organized, and ready the moment your family needs it.

Don't Take Our Word For It
I was referred by a friend to this law firm and I am very pleased with my thorough representation provided by Smith & Williams Trial Group. They handled my case with care and sensitivity and I'm so glad I didn't have to go through my situation alone. I highly recommend them!
There are not enough words to explain how amazing our experience has been with Camara. We trusted him with our estate planning and he is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to making sure everything was set up as per our wishes. Even with having a crazy schedule, Camara and his team made sure to accommodate our needs and continuously follow up to make sure it got done. They deserve 10 stars!!!
Attorney Camara Williams handled the probate of my mother's estate. Although there were difficulties in closing the estate, Attorney Williams kept me well informed along the way and advised me on the best course of action to solve the problems as they arose. In emotional matters like this, you need an attorney who is empathetic and understanding.
