C.J.’s dream came true when Kaely, his daughter, joined his law firm, Williams, Smith and Summers, P.A. in 2008.  Subsequently, C.J. and Kaely opened Smith and Frye P.A., a boutique Mt. Dora law firm that concentrates its practice in Family Law, Probate, Estate Planning and Guardianship.

Early on, C.J. and Kaely distinguished themselves academically, both finishing near the top of their law school classes.  With more than 50 years of combined practice experience, the firm has served the needs of thousands of clients.  These satisfied clients regularly refer their friends and acquaintances.

Importantly, the firm proudly enjoys the respect of its peers.  Martindale Hubbell, the legendary lawyer rating service, has bestowed its highest AV® Preeminent rating upon Smith and Frye P.A. during each year of its existence.  Both C.J. and Kaely have been recognized by Florida Super Lawyers. C.J. has been named a Super Lawyer, given to the top five percent of all Florida lawyers, in consecutive years.  Kaely has been named a Florida Super Lawyer Rising Star, given to the top 2.5 percent of lawyers under 40.

When a client hires C.J. or Kaely, the client often receives the skill and expertise of both lawyers, as C.J. and Kaely regularly discuss and evaluate their respective cases.  Few firms can match this level of attention.
