July 2021 Newsletter

June saw summer resolutely entrench itself with a new round of blooms and fun warm-weather sports and activities. COVID continued to withdraw from the state. However, we remain watchful here at the firm. Although we still offer non-contact meetings with our clients, face-to-face meetings are also available and masks are optional.

Our offices will be closed Monday, July 5 in celebration of the United States’ independence. However, as always, we will have an account manager on duty to help schedule an appointment with one of our attorneys.

SM&P partner Randy Sabatini has been practicing law for more than 30 years. In recognition of his 10-year anniversary with SM&P, read about his contributions to our firm and the Georgia law community.

Find out about SM&P’s latest outreach to our local veterans through our donation, in partnership with the local Kiwanis Aktion Club, of books and bookmarks.

The attorney spotlight this month features Lily Bristow. Throughout Lily’s career, she has managed many cases, including those with very contentious child custody matters, complex equitable divisions, prenuptial agreements, modifications, legitimations, name changes, and guardianships. Click here to learn more about Lily.

We wish all of our clients and friends a happy and safe Fourth of July — one of our favorite holidays!
