About Lisa A.G.
Lisa A.G. Smith built her legal foundation at Georgetown University, where she earned a B.A. in Sociology in 1995. She went on to receive her J.D. from the University of Florida in 2000. Those years framed an interest in how law touches families and communities. They also set the stage for a career spent largely in family law and related court work.
Her professional life is centered in Florida. She practices at The Smith Family Law Office. Over the years she has combined private practice with roles that connect her to the courts and to children in the system. She is a certified Guardian Ad Litem, a credential that places her on the front lines when the interests of minors are at stake. That certification informs much of her day-to-day work.
Smith joined the Central Florida Family Law American Inn of Court in 2005 and continues to participate. The group brings judges and lawyers together to improve practice and ethics in family law. She is also a current member of the Florida Bar Association and the Orange County Bar Association. Locally, she belongs to the Collaborative Family Law Group of Central Florida, which offers alternatives to litigated divorce. Her professional memberships reflect steady engagement with peers and with evolving approaches to family disputes.
Community involvement is woven through her career. Smith serves as chair of the St. Margaret Mary Parish Lawyer Program and is active in the parish and its networks. She sits on the Georgetown Alumni Admissions Committee and maintains ties to her undergraduate alma mater. She is a member of the Woamtec Altamonte Springs chapter’s M.O.M.S. program and participates in the St. Margaret Mary Catholic School Parent Business Network. These roles show an interest in civic life beyond courtroom hours.
In practice she handles family law matters that often intersect with child welfare issues. She employs collaborative methods when appropriate and represents clients in more traditional contested settings when necessary. Her Guardian Ad Litem certification means she frequently advocates for children’s interests in custody and dependency matters. Colleagues describe her as steady in the courtroom and attentive in client conferences.
Her work blends courtroom advocacy, alternative dispute techniques and community service. She remains based in Florida and continues to practice at The Smith Family Law Office, concentrating on family law and Guardian Ad Litem work.
