Sidni Elise Smith

Sidni Elise Smith

Founder & Principal Attorney

Galatians 6:2 KJV states, “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” My personal motto is: "Helping People Regardless of the Platform". As a Believer, I am assured that I have been called to help others, spread joy, educate, and share the Gospel. The Cause Law Firm, LLC is ministry and we are here to help. I have a unique and diverse background with experiences in ministry, art, public health, building construction, education, and law. This conglomerate of experiences is the creative and vibrant edge I bring to such a corporate and noble profession. The beauty of my public health education stirred a strong realization that laws and policies are tools for change. I was then inspired to pursue law to eventually work in policy and advocacy. Upon passing the Alabama Bar Exam in 2022, I embraced the slow build of what you see today: The Cause Law Firm, LLC. By intentionally learning systems and people, I was able to better define my causes in the law and how God wanted me to show up to help. As a lifelong learner, I stay specialized in a variety of content areas which contributes perspective and knowledge to very individualized situations. I get to bring the classroom to the courtroom and in interactions with each client. I get to bring an acuity for design and detail to every document that is drafted. I get to create a streamlined and enjoyable experience for each client who desires personalized strategies and solutions. If I am not actively working in law or education, you can likely find me serving with my beautiful church family at H.O.P.E. Church, spending time with family and friends, enrolled in a course, volunteering, shopping, traveling, cooking, event planning, designing, writing poetry, hiking, fishing, or enjoying nature. I really love adventure and hope you join me in this journey of: "Overcoming Mountains. Reaching Top Results." [Licenses: V.A. Accredited Attorney (2023), District of Columbia Bar (2023), and Alabama State Bar (2022); Education: University of Alabama at Birmingham (B.S. in Public Health 2018), University of Alabama at Birmingham (Master of Public Health in 2021), and Samford University's Cumberland School of Law (Juris Doctor in 2021)]
