Compassionate, Clear Guidance When You Need It Most

Military life adds layers of complexity to legal matters—especially when it comes to family. As a former Army Captain and Judge Advocate, Collin understands the pressures and transitions that come with service. At C.A. Smith Law, we offer flat-fee legal services built for military families: predictable, efficient, and informed by real-world military experience.

We focus on uncontested divorce, custody, and co-parenting matters in Washington State, with special consideration for deployments, PCS, and blended families navigating service-related life changes.

Common Services for Military Families

Some common matters Collin can assist you with include:

• Uncontested divorce with or without children

• Parenting plan creation or modification

• Custody relocation and co-parenting transitions

• Military retirement and pension division language

• Lease termination under the SCRA

• Estate planning before deployment

To learn more about available services and flat-fee pricing, please review our Military Matters Information Sheet or schedule a consultation. C.A. Smith Law is proud to offer complimentary consultations for all active duty service members, dependents, and for reservists on orders.

Military Mentorship Line

Legal concerns don’t always require full representation. Sometimes you just need someone you can trust to help you think things through. Collin’s Military Mentorship Line is a confidential, no-cost email service available to junior service members and leaders (E-1 to E-6, O-1 to O-3).

Whether you’re wrestling with a family issue, a tough leadership decision, or something personal that may intersect with your legal rights, Collin offers grounded, judgment-free insight informed by over 20 years of professional and leadership experience.

• Not legal representation, but an open line to honest, practical answers

• Responses typically within 1–2 business days

• Available via email to active duty personnel and reservists on orders
