About Rebecca Smith

I have always been an advocate for families. Since graduating from college in 2011, I have occupied various roles dedicated to assisting children and families dealing with homelessness, substance abuse, mental health issues, and domestic violence. My decision to attend law school was influenced by my personal experiences with the complexities of child custody. As both a mother and a stepparent, I relate deeply to many of the challenges my clients encounter, and I handle these cases with a great deal of empathy and understanding. My unwavering passion for championing the rights of children continues to motivate me. I earned my Juris Doctorate from Atlanta's John Marshall Law School in 2024. During my time in law school, I balanced my studies with a part-time position as a law clerk and dedicated time to volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate ("CASA"), advocating for children in foster care. Additionally, I completed an externship with the Juvenile Prosecutor in Coweta County, which enhanced my courtroom experience. To revive the Family Law Society at Atlanta's John Marshall, I initially served as Vice President before advancing to President. In these roles, I was instrumental in providing fellow students with opportunities to engage in family law through networking events, job opportunities, volunteer experiences, and broad exposure to the field. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children. I also have a keen interest in planning and attending events, traveling, and maintaining fitness by going to the gym.
