The Smith-Rose-Finley law firm has served San Angelo and West Texas clients for more than 70 years. As a general practice law firm, Smith-Rose-Finley represents clients in every phase of life, from ranch purchases, to business formation, to land and oil and gas transactions, to civil litigation, to guardianship, estate planning and probate matters.

The firm’s ability to continuously provide a full range of legal services has led to long-standing relationships with their clients over several generations. The firm takes pride in serving many clients for 40 years or more.

The firm notes there are several benefits to working with a smaller law firm with deep experience. Those benefits include:

• A more personal touch. Client relations with a smaller firm are typically handled one-on-one between the client and their attorney, which allows communications to flow efficiently.
• Smaller firms have more flexibility in the types of cases they take.
• With a smaller staff, the office is able to work in a collaborative effort to provide the most efficient and comprehensive approach to their client’s legal issues.
• Smaller firms usually have more flexibility with their schedules, and are more able to provide personalized legal services according to each client’s specific needs.
• Lower costs. Larger firms have a larger overhead, which leads them to charge more for their legal services. Smaller firms are usually able to provide more affordable services for the same amount of work.
• Smaller local firms understand the community, the local practices and the nuances of the area.
