THE STORY BEHIND US

The Smelyansky Law Firm was founded on a simple belief: legal representation should feel like having a trusted friend in your corner. After seeing how impersonal, slow, and disconnected many larger firms had become, Max Smelyansky set out to build something different—something human.
 

From day one, Max has taken a hands-on, client-first approach to the practice of law. Every call, every court date, every strategy session—he handles it personally. That commitment to direct communication, honest guidance, and responsive support 7 days a week is what sets the firm apart. Whether helping a landlord navigate a difficult eviction, defending a client in traffic court, or fighting for justice after an injury, Max shows up with professionalism, empathy, and relentless dedication.
 

Rooted in the Capital Region but serving clients throughout New York and New Jersey, The Smelyansky Law Firm has become known not only for results—but for the relationships it builds along the way. This is more than law. It’s advocacy with heart, and legal help you can actually count on.
