Kathleen M. Smith

Clients would choose Katie over another attorney because of her dedication to resolving accounts and her organized, professional demeanor. As an attorney, Katie’s services exist to assist businesses in recovering losses that result from consumers who have defaulted on their promise to pay. She tries to approach collections with an empathetic view towards consumers. A lot of them are experiencing a tough time in their lives and Katie wants to work with them to create a compromise that is manageable for the consumer, while making sure that her clients recover an amount that they find reasonable. 

Katie was inspired to become an attorney after spending a summer interning in college at the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas. She found this work interesting and thought the law may be a better suited career path than her original plan to pursue a career in marketing. Since then, Katie has gained experience and knows how to engage with consumers, clients, attorneys, and the courts to confront issues and adapt to the ever-changing industry.

Katie grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands and moved to Ohio for college at Xavier University. She currently lives with her fiancé and two dogs. In her spare time she loves to work on home renovation projects, explore the Columbus area, and travel.
