--- title: Weekly News | Shane Smith (5) description: "Shane Smith calls Georgia home. After graduating from high school in Fayette County, Shane attended the University of Georgia for two years. He then transferred to Georgia State University where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1997. As an undergraduate, he was active in ROTC, serving on the Color Guard, Ranger Challenge, and as the company commander of his ROTC Company. Shane attended Georgia State's College of Law, where he graduated Cum Laude in 2000. As a law student, he worked with Richard Hobbs, a local attorney in Fayetteville, and with the Fulton and Rockdale County DA offices as an intern. Additionally, he was active in the Student Trial Lawyers Association competing in a national competition.\n\nAfter being admitted to the Georgia Bar, he entered the U. S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG). He served at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, with the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division. While at Ft. Campbell, he attended and graduated from the Army's Air Assault School, qualifying him to wear the Army Air Assault Wings on his uniform. He also served at Fort Benning, Georgia. While in the Army, he practiced as a criminal defense attorney throughout the Southeast. He has defended those accused of a wide range of charges, although he primarily focused his representation on those accused of serious sexual assault crimes. He also acted as the lead attorney on the only military homicide case in his multistate district during his tour.\n\nAfter leaving the army, Shane moved back to Peachtree City, Georgia. He began practicing personal injury law at a major firm in Atlanta. In the four years he spent with this firm, he handled over 500 cases, ranging from minor injuries to a serious tractor-trailer collisions. Shane has represented people with a variety of injuries, including mild soft tissue injuries to the back and neck, severely broken bones requiring surgery, back injuries requiring lumbar fusions, and an amputation. During this time, he represented numerous clients who were victims of drunk or impaired drivers and also helped many pedestrians who were struck and injured by automobiles.\n\nAfter working downtown for several years, Shane formed his own law firm to better represent his clients. Shane focuses his practice on helping those injured through no fault of their own. Such as in a car wreck, slip and fall on another person’s property, or any other serious accident. Shane is particularly proud of helping people who have been struck by drunk drivers receive the compensation they deserve. Shane has worked hard to develop contacts and relationships with many specialist doctors in the Atlanta area to help ensure that his clients receive treatment no matter how seriously they are injured.\n\nIn addition to practicing law, Shane is married to his college sweetheart and has two small children. He attends Holy Trinity Church with his family and is a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Masons, and the Shriners. Shane is admitted to practice law in all courts in Georgia and the Military Court System. Shane is also admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia.
