About Gregory Davis

Gregory Davis Smith constructed an academic foundation that crosses state and international lines. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics from the University of Georgia in 2000, completed a MSc in International and European Politics on the University of Edinburgh in 2005, and returned to the University of Georgia for his law degree in 2006. Those years shaped an outlook that blends nearby practice with an eye to wider regulatory and political contexts.

Smith began practicing quickly after finishing law school. He based his own practice beneath his call in 2009, taking over things that drew on his economics training and his curiosity in property and agricultural problems. In 2012 he became a partner at Smith Group, Lawyers at Law, a position that expanded the scale of his client work and company duties. By 2021 he was serving as president of Owen Title Company, Inc., a position that positioned him at the intersection of title operations and transactional law.

His practice sits across two state jurisdictions. He is lively in each Georgia and Florida professional circles and holds memberships that mirror the combination of real estate, title, probate and agricultural matters in his caseload. He joined the State Bar of Georgia in 2016 and maintains involvement in its Real Property Section and Litigation Committee, alongside with ties to an Ag Law Section. In Florida he is a member of the Florida Bar’s Real Property Probate and Trust Law Section and the Florida Land Title Association. He also participates within the Tallahassee Bar Association and serves on the Tallahassee Board of Realtors’ Forms and Professional Development Committee.

Community and civic engagement has been a recurring part of Smith’s profile. He served on the Decatur County Tax Assessor Board and at the Decatur County FSA Committee, the place he held the vice chair position. He has had management roles in nearby civic organizations, including a term as president of the Rotary Club of Bainbridge and board participation with the YMCA Bainbridge-Decatur County. Those roles mirror long-status ties to both community governance and rural concerns.

Smith’s day-to-day work combines transactional and title-associated practice with things that touch probate and trust management. He maintains a workplace listed at 218 E. Water Street and has worked through numerous company systems, including personal practice beneath his name and partnerships. His caseload commonly includes actual estate closings, title issues and associated probate or confidence questions. He concentrates on real estate transactions, title matters, and estate administration and trust issues.
