Sarita Garg's Legal Blog

Our firm recently (on the 22nd of February) celebrated the first anniversary of Smith & Garg which was actually a few months before that, but timing was not the best due to our firm moving office locations, and expanding in Long Beach, California. It was extremely thoughtful of Mama Garg & Papa Garg (my in-laws) who arranged the whole event by throwing us a very lavish party, which was held in a private room at Grotto’s in the Woodlands.  The room was decorated beautifully, including the tables with assorted candies, and beautiful table pieces, and when you entered the room, after being greeted by the Gargs (Senior), there was a table with balloons and a huge card, which everyone signed on their way in.  The party included fantastic food, fine wine (glasses were constantly refilled by the minute), and one of the best champagnes I have ever tasted, and the best part was the desert…big, sweet, delicious, chocolate cake, with the Smith & Garg Logo on the face of it!  To top the evening off, we had a fabulous band that played light jazz tunes in the corner of the room!  I abosolutely loved it. I gave a speech at the party, but I would like to reiterate a few things that I said that night, here.  First of all, I have tremendous gratitude for my in-laws for even throwing us a party, and for all the planning that went into the event.  It would not have happened without them.  Secondly, I would not be able to do what I do, everyday, every week of every month, without the support of my loving husband, Dr. Amit K. Garg.  As I stated in my speech that evening, “behind every successful wife, stands a very supportive husband” which perfectly conveys what I feel.  Whether it is a brunch at the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, a marketing event at the George Brown, an Indian temple in Pearland, Reliant Stadium, or a concert in the park…time and time again, my husband has been there for me…I could not ask for anything else.  My speech would not have been complete without giving credit to my partner, Brian Smith, a fantastic businessman, whose engine never runs out of fuel, whose mental wheels keep moving, and whose morals and ethics remain constant through it all, something that is fundamental to me, and which I respect him for.  He and his whole family have become part of our family (the Garg family), and I look forward to the day when my kids will be calling him “Uncle Brian”!  And of course, the structure of our company would not be solid without the hard work and efforts of Smith & Garg’s brilliant, energetic and assertive Managing Partners (Steven Pham, Steven Pham, Jim Jones, & Kevin Cloves) and team of lawyers (Marjorie Perry, Evi Huynh, Jennifer Ray, Sherea Vitelli, and Jenny Nguyen. 

Happy Birthday Smith & Garg!
