William Erin Smith

I run a direct and efficient practice with one priority: making absolutely sure that my client's feel like they got the representation that they paid for in a crucial time of their lives. I'm a Certified Family Law Specialist and I will move your case forward with purpose, while keeping you fully informed every step of the way. Clients should never be left guessing about what’s happening, what comes next, or why a particular strategy is being used. You deserve to know the risks, the likelihood of potential outcomes and then be able to make the final decision that best fits your situation and goals. Clear communication and accessibility are at the core of how I work: I don't hide behind my staff or avoid my clients and, if I'm  doing my job well there should never be a reason to.

My role is to educate you on every available path, make sure you understand the consequences and costs associated with each choice, and then when advocate aggressively for the direction you choose. I don't bill for work that doesn't advance your position and I won't just tell you what you want to hear if it isn't what I believe will happen or is best for you. Every action I take on your behalf is explained, intentional, and calculated to help you reach your goal as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

While no lawyer can guarantee a particular outcome, I can guarantee that you will be informed, prepared, and confident in the representation you receive from me. You will not walk out of court feeling like your case was not fought for.

I myself am a parent navigating their own real-life responsibilities. I very much understand that this isn't just another case for you, it's your life, your children's life course, and your finances that are on the line and depending on me to defend and I don’t take that responsibility lightly.
