I am a full time attorney with SmithLaw Attorneys PA, located at 1561 Lakefront Dr 204, Sarasota, FL 34240. I am the owner and president of this law firm. It was originally known as Christopher D. Smith P.A., as opened in April of 2005, and later converted to SmithLaw Attorneys PA in 2022. I work here 160 hours per month, of which nearly all these hours are during securities trading hours.
