A native of Atlanta, Ron Smith earned his J.D. Degree from Nova Southeastern University in 1981 and first practiced law as a state prosecutor in central Florida. Mr. Smith's service to others includes his background as a Certified K-12 Teacher and Undergraduate through Graduate Instructor in several subject areas. Since 1965 he continues to work as a lay minister for various Christian and charitable ministries. His private law practice since 1984 has been an extension of these ministries so as to help people deal with a variety of legal matters. For several years Mr. Smith owned and managed a law firm with paid associate attorneys and non-lawyer staff. But he gradually discovered the greater blessing in working in synergy with other Christian ministries and business people by mutual referral and support that has grown into the LawSmithGroup. Mr. Smith has represented clients in State and Federal Courts of both Georgia and Florida. Now LawSmithGroup allows Mr. Smith to fully realize his passion for helping people at all levels of alternative dispute resolution, litigation & protection.
Mr. Smith is a member of professional organizations including the LawSmithGroup, CASA representation of underprivileged children of Georgia DFACS,, the State Bar Associations of Georgia and Florida, the American Bar Association and the Federal Bar Associations for Georgia and Florida.
