Collin A. Smith
Attorney at Law
Collin A. Smith is the founder of C.A. Smith Law, PLLC, a Washington-based law firm serving individuals, families, and business owners. He advises clients on wills and trusts, general business matters—including continuity planning in conjunction with estate planning—and select civil litigation matters.
His approach emphasizes clarity, sound judgment, and long-term planning.
His approach to legal counsel is shaped by a background in engineering and military leadership, including education at the United States Military Academy at West Point and service as an officer in the United States Army. That training informs a methodical, risk-aware approach to advising clients, with an emphasis on planning ahead, evaluating second-order consequences, and developing legal structures designed to function under real-world conditions.
Collin’s practice emphasizes proactive planning and long-term thinking rather than crisis-driven decision-making. He works with clients in advisory relationships focused on risk management, continuity, and informed decision-making across both business and personal matters.
In civil litigation matters, Collin brings the same steady, disciplined approach to advocacy. His focus is on developing a clear factual record, understanding the governing law, and presenting claims with precision and credibility. He represents individuals who have been wronged with seriousness and resolve, particularly in cases involving abuses of power or violations of legal rights, and approaches litigation as a means of accountability rather than theatrics.
He emphasizes preparation, judgment, and clarity over escalation for its own sake, and works to advance his clients’ interests through principled, fact-driven advocacy at every stage of a matter.
