About

I started Smith Law Group in the middle of a pandemic in 2020. Most people ask me why I did it. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I represented businesses in my practice every day as a partner in a law firm and every day I thought about how I could do this myself. Instead of sitting back and continuing to admire my clients for the businesses they have built, I took a leap of faith and went out on my own. It was the best decision I have ever made.

Now, my team and I get to advise individuals and businesses in real estate transactions, business law issues, and estate planning. I work closely with my clients to clearly understand the details involved in their transaction or case and tailor my advice and services to meet their goals while protecting them from future legal or financial liabilities.

I focus my practice on real estate, business law issues and estate planning. I have extensive experience handling commercial and residential real estate transactions and refinancing, construction contracts, business formation, and contract drafting, review, and negotiation. I also negotiate purchases and sales of business assets, membership interests and stocks, prepare buy-sell agreements for business owners, and assist clients in transitioning businesses to the next generation. My skill in these transactions is enhanced by my pre-law school years as a paralegal and legal assistant and more than thirteen years of foreclosure and business litigation.

I received a BA in Business Management from Gettysburg College, then returned to the northeast to attend Western New England University School of Law, where I received my JD.

I am licensed to practice in Connecticut and Tennessee, and am a member of the Connecticut Bar Association and the Tolland County Bar Association. In 2012 I received the Statesman Award from the Greater Hartford Jaycees for extraordinary dedication and service, and in 2020, I was honored to be named to the Hartford Business Journal’s “40 Under 40”.

I believe in giving back, and as the proud wife of a US Navy Veteran, I’m honored to volunteer my time defending local Veterans in eviction cases through the Connecticut Veterans Legal Center. I also volunteer at my children’s school, and serve on our local Board of Education and the CATIC Foundation.

When I am not working on my clients’ legal matters, you can find me and my husband and our daughters hiking, golfing, or otherwise enjoying being outdoors.

“If you’ve ever bought or sold a home or started or sold a business, you know what a major financial asset it is. And you know that an entire deal can rise or fall over a small detail or a tricky negotiation. Having an experienced attorney protecting your interests in such a significant investment is crucial.”

— Attorney Meghan Smith

  • "Meghan and her staff were very accommodating. They were in constant communication and always had my best interests at heart. I felt like I was a top priority, although I know I was not their only client."

  • Attorney Smith came highly recommended for our eviction situation. This was our first time dealing with anything of this nature and she made the process easy and stress free. Her explanations and knowledge made us feel that we chose the best attorney for this situation. She was very responsive to all our questions and concerns and made us feel comfortable through the entire process. We highly recommend Attorney Smith and her office.
