William H. Smathers III

---

Will is a native Floridian who graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.  After graduation, Will joined the United States Marine Corps, and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant upon completion of Officer Candidate School, in Quantico, Virginia.

During his service with the Marine Corps, he was stationed with the First Battalion Fifth Marine Regiment, in Camp Pendleton, California, and served as an Infantry Officer and Rifle Platoon Commander during Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Upon his return from Iraq, he served the remaining of his active duty time as a hand-to-hand combat (MCMAP) instructor for the Fifth Marine Regiment.  

After his honorable discharge from the Marine Corps, he set his sights on the legal profession.  He graduated from Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2011, and is currently representing clients who have been injured in automobile accidents as well as other personal injury cases.

Since childhood, it has always been his goal to serve something bigger than himself.  He was honored to have the chance to do so by serving our country as a U.S. Marine - and now, by serving our community as a personal injury attorney.  

Will resides in Eustis with his wife, Cortney, and three children, Adley (10), Saela (8) and Liam (4).  Other members of their household include their Yorkie, Paisley, and their Doberman, Glory.
