CMS Law Firm LLC

CMS Law Firm LLC We do estate planning. We do probate. We do it well. Welcome to our page!

I started this law firm for several reasons, the biggest of which was that I myself, though a father and a husband, didn't have a plan in place to take care of my family if something were to happen to me, to my wife, or both of us. To me, estate planning isn't just about passing on things and avoiding taxes, it's about protecting my family and creating generational wealth. Most of us out there bel

ieve generations after us should have it easier than the generation before. For some this happens through education, but for all of us it should happen through the accumulation and distribution of wealth AND knowledge. It's not money that makes the next generation better, it's the money combined with knowledge, family values, mission statements, family history, and all of the things that make your journey through this world unique. Our mission is to help our clients create plans that protect their families and create generational wealth, both while they are here and when they are gone. To do that we've got a ton of experience and expertise both in estate planning and financial management. We've created a very unique set of programs that allows you to pass along your wealth and your knowledge with a minimal amount of effort. I can't wait to get up every morning knowing that I am actually doing this world some good with my legal expertise, and I love the fact that I am benefiting not just my own family with the work that I am doing but thousands of other families as well.

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.
