WELCOME TO SMITH ALLING, P.S.

Our mission at Smith Alling is to provide the best legal services to our clients in a variety of practice areas. In doing so, we provide representation to regional, national and international clients who live and transact business in and outside of the Pacific Northwest.

While we represent many businesses and organizations, we also represent individuals on personal legal matters, including family and domestic matters and clients who have been seriously injured by others. We offer mediation and alternative dispute resolution services to address those situations where parties to a conflict seek to resolve the issues without resorting to the court system.

Our attorneys are serious and tenacious advocates who are also approachable and responsive to our clients and their individual needs.
