Samuel Ledwitz, the founding partner of Bezaire, Ledwitz and Associates, would always play at Lacy Park as a child in the early 1980’s. He always felt at home there. Later, in life, he would come back to watch the July 4th fireworks on his beach towel at Lacy Park and enjoy the comfort of San Marino. During the Christmas season, Mr. Ledwitz enjoys taking his kids to see the Christmas Tree lighting on St Albans Road.
As a college student, Mr. Ledwitz worked at the prestigious Huntington Art Gallery. He helped the guests find their way over the 207-acre property and help the San Marino Police Department and the State Agriculture Department become familiar with the property. Mr. Ledwitz would spend hours watching over the Blue Boy, Pinkie, and “Breakfast in Bed” learning about humidity and flash bulbs, and the different styles of Thomas Gainsborough, Thomas Lawrence and Mary Cassatt.
After the Huntington, Mr. Ledwitz went on to join a local security company that would patrol the streets of San Marino. He enjoyed the winding road of Shenandoah and the homes on Lombardy.
As an attorney, Mr. Ledwitz has helped numerous city residents with their estate planning (wills and trusts), estate administration (what happens after a loved one dies) and Probate.

How the ERC can help keep businesses on track financially
It’s no secret that the past few years have been rough for most business owners. But just because the pandemic is just about in the rear-view mirror, that doesn’t mean financial help for businesses is no longer available.
Longtime estate planning attorney Samuel B. Ledwitz, who also works with dozens of small business owners, said the employee retention credit — or ERC — can still help businesses get back — or stay — on fiscal track.
