Happy 92nd Anniversary To The Firm

Today marks the 92nd anniversary of Lesser Lesser Landy & Smith.  The Firm was founded by Joseph Lesser from Rome, GA, in a small one-room office inside the Citizens Building in downtown West Palm Beach.  Joe had a simple mission: Do your best to help your clients and your community.  The Firm is proud to say we still live by his mission.

To celebrate, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at what life was like when Joe Lesser founded the Firm back in 1927.
