| Bio |
Nathaniel M. Smith is a born again Christian and a member of Salem Baptist Church in McDonough, Georgia. This means several things:
First, it means that while counseling clients, Nathaniel might refer not only to law but also to other considerations such as moral, emotional, and spiritual factors that might be relevant to a client's situation.
Second, this means Nathaniel feels a duty to serve all who need legal services he is able to provide, regardless of economic considerations. He may reduce fees, or he may permit the payment of fees in installments according to the ability of clients to pay, or both.
Third, this means that at least ten percent (10%) of the attorney fees paid to Nathaniel will be put to work for the Lord spreading the Gospel and feeding the hungry. Anyone who finds this use of funds unpalatable may be more satisfied in the short term by seeking legal counsel elsewhere.
Fourth, this means Nathaniel will discount legal services provided to members of Salem Baptist Church by at least 20%.
Nathaniel graduated in 2006 from Clayton State University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in history, and he graduated in 2009 from Washington and Lee University, earning a Juris Doctor degree. While pursuing his law degree, he worked for the Georgia Court of Appeals, the State Court of Henry County, Georgia, and for the Flint Circuit Public Defender’s Office in McDonough, Georgia.
Nathaniel is admitted to practice before the Georgia Supreme Court, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and the Superior, State, Juvenile, Probate and Magistrate courts of Georgia.
Nathaniel became a member of the Georgia Bar Association in 2009. He became a member of the Henry County Bar Association in 2010. He became a member of CLS (Christian Legal Society) and in 2009. |
