We are a team of seasoned attorneys serving families and businesses throughout Hauppauge and across Nassau and Suffolk County with personalized legal guidance.
Founded in 1974, Our Firm Brings Decades of Legal Experience to Every Case
Our story began in 1974, when our founding partner, Gary F. Smith—a Fordham University School of Law graduate with honors—was admitted to the New York State bar. After gaining elite experience as a partner in a midtown Manhattan law firm, Gary moved his practice to Long Island in 1979 to provide a more personal, community-focused brand of legal counsel.
What frustrates us most about modern legal practice is how many firms treat clients like case numbers. You call and get an automated system; you ask a question and get jargon instead of a straight answer. That is not how we operate.
When you call us, you reach a real person. When we take your case, we give it the time and attention it deserves. Our deep roots in the Long Island community—evidenced by our memberships in the Suffolk County and New York State Bar Associations, the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni Association, and over three decades of local charitable and religious service—mean we care about the neighbors we represent.
We represent the second and third generations of families who first hired us decades ago, and that loyalty is something we never take for granted. We are a debt-free firm, which means we answer only to our clients. We focus on doing excellent work, not feeding a machine.
If you are in Hauppauge or anywhere in Nassau or Suffolk County and need an attorney who treats you with respect and delivers results, we would be honored to help.
