About Aaron

Aaron M. Smith is our founder and managing attorney.  Aaron believes that interactions with our legal system can, at times, be daunting and difficult but with good guidance and creative thinking, your situation can result in significant gains.  He has experience in a wide range of legal issues, including litigation, dispute resolution, business formation and contract review which help him to provide well-founded advice.  Aaron also spends a considerable amount of time donating his time to various causes he believes are important. He is a former President of the Board of Directors of the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition, has advised for the Port of Seattle’s Port Community Action Team in negotiating its Community Benefits Commitment, participates in Communities Rise’s (Formerly Wayfind) Nonprofit Advocates Program, volunteers with Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and is active in finding ways that technology can enhance access to justice. 

Aaron was raised in Evanston, Illinois.  He received his bachelor’s degree in political science from Tulane University in New Orleans.  Aaron then relocated to Salt Lake City and worked at a wilderness therapy program helping “at risk youth” to understand the power of choice.  At University of Oregon School of Law, Aaron studied environmental law, international law and alternative dispute resolution.   He then found his home in Seattle where he founded the Law Office of Aaron M. Smith.

When not advocating for his clients or working to protect the environment, Aaron enjoys hiking, skiing, kayaking, competing in triathlons, playing softball and snapping a picture or two.
