Lauren Smith is one of two recent additions to the firm’s Fort Worth office and concentrates her practice on securing property value corrections and reductions for the firm’s commercial clients through negotiated settlements and litigation.
Before joining Ryan Law, Lauren was a solo practitioner representing clients in a variety of legal matters: probate, guardianship, estate planning, real estate, business formation, property tax delinquency, and personal injury settlements. Lauren started her legal career in the Bexar County District Attorney’s office, starting out as a law clerk, moving up to a misdemeanor prosecutor and intake specialist, and then supervising a heavy felony trial docket.
Lauren received her Juris Doctorate from St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio, and her BS in Corporate Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin.
