We’d love to chat with you: https://cmslawfirm.com/probate ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ABOUT CHRISTOPHER SMALL I founded CMS Law Firm with one goal in mind - provide exceptional service at a great price. Law firms historically have a terrible reputation for service. It takes forever to talk to someone. It takes forever to get work done. And it seems like it costs 10 times what it should. That’s not how we operate. We’re really good at what we do because we only focus on one thing. We get our work done on time because we have great systems and great people. And we do it on budget because we work on a flat fee - you know exactly what the investment is before we start. If that sounds like the type of people you’d like to work with on your estate plan, we’d love to chat with you.
