Greg Smith
Founder & Principal
Greg Smith is the Founder and Principal of Smith's Lawyers, with nearly three decades of experience leading a Queensland personal injury firm dedicated to helping people navigate the legal system with confidence.
His motivation to start the firm came from his own experience of being seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident at 18. That event shaped his purpose: ensuring people understand their rights and have access to clear, supportive legal guidance.
After completing his Bachelor of Laws at the University of Queensland, Greg began his legal career with a focus on helping people understand and navigate complex legal systems.
In 1996, he founded Smith's Lawyers with a clear purpose: to make the process fairer, more transparent and accessible for people recovering from injury or loss.
