About
- Colin joined Zachary D. Smith, LLC after spending several years at a well-known boutique family law firm in downtown Cincinnati, where he learned the practice from the ground up—first as a paralegal and later as an attorney
- That experience exposed him to the full range of family law work, including complex litigation, high-net-worth divorces, and appeals, and it taught him how much outcomes depend on preparation and good judgment
- Before law, Colin worked in IT, helping individuals and small businesses solve software, hardware, and networking problems
- He appreciated the technical challenge, but he wanted a career that put him in front of people and let him make a direct difference
- Law ended up being the right fit, and family law in particular, because it demands versatility: negotiating when possible, litigating when necessary, and staying steady when emotions run high
- Colin’s approach is to bring calm, clear guidance to stressful situations so clients feel informed, supported, and more in control of what happens next
- Outside the office, he enjoys movies, tinkering with computers and electronics, and remembering when reading for fun came easier
