Why You Can Trust Smithwick & Belendiuk

The attorneys of Smithwick & Belendiuk, P.C. bring many years of experience in delivering excellent communications-related legal services, especially to clients who had traditionally been underserved by larger law firms. Since 1988, the attorneys of Smithwick & Belendiuk have been assisting owners (and potential owners) of radio and television stations, cable systems, and other telecommunications companies with completing purchase and sale transactions, litigation, regulatory matters before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and other state and federal agencies, corporate formation, and much more.

The Smithwick & Belendiuk attorneys pride themselves on being available for their clients at all times and delivering one-on-one legal advice and support, all at rates that are exceptionally competitive. We treat every client like our best client; each one gets our direct attention. Our structure is very simple: if you ask us to perform work on your behalf, we do it, without unnecessarily involving other attorneys. This system ensures that our clients are not being charged for multiple layers of review of the same issues and documents.

We do not publicize the names of our clients, in order to protect their privacy. However, on a confidential basis, we can provide testimonials of our excellent work.
