My name is Mark Rees.  I became a lawyer because I wanted to help people.  This can be difficult at times, but I always try to remember that people have disputes and they need someone to get them resolved.  Regardless of what the problem is, if I can get it resolved, the client is grateful.. My main focus is to handle personal injury/wrongful death accidents.  I truly feel that lawyers can make the community that we live in safer by requiring corporations and individuals that violate "standard safety rules" be responsible for the injuries that they cause because of such conduct.. My wife, Tamara, and I were married in 1993 and I have three children, Reagan, Kendal, and Zac.  We certainly have enjoyed watching them grow up and become responsible and compassionate to others.. My role as a lawyer is important to me; I understand that people come to me because of some problem that is disrupting their lives; I will always strive to remember each client and their circumstance, and try and get it resolved the best way possible that is beneficial to the client.

I have spent 38 years representing injured individuals in Northeast Arkansas. I take pride in taking care of my clients and personally returning all phone calls within 24 hours.

I have been in practice for 25 years and have helped thousands of people overcome debt problems.   I have offices in Jonesboro and Batesville Arkansas.  I live on a 6 acre hobby farm and  In my free time I raise horses, hike, camp, fish, and enjoy anything outdoors.   I am an amateur blacksmith and welder and love to repurpose found objects.

I am the managing partner of Owens Mixon Heller. P.A. and have been since January 1, 2014.  Prior to that, I was a partner with Marshall and Owens P.A. for over 21 years.  Although I spend a considerable amount of time representing banks and finance companies, I also actively practice family law and divorce, estates and elder law, and personal injury law.. Having adopted 4 kids, I have particular interest in helping people provide forever homes for children through adoption. In my time away from the office, I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake in Heber Springs. In addition to spending time on the lake in Heber,  I also enjoy trout fishing on the Little Red River.

I am passionate about my job, my family and my conditioning.  In my spare time, I work out biking, swimming and lifting light weights.  I enjoy litigation for a number of reasons. First, it is a mental and emotional challenge to always keep your wits about you and to allow the best and most important information about your client and their case to be presented to the jury or the judge.  Second, it requires split second timing and decision making.  These two things make it very enjoyable for me as I am very critical of myself so I always want to improve despite having practiced for over 37 years.. Putting your client first, having them prepared and me being prepared requires a significant amount of effort, but when done well is very emotionally rewarding for me as I feel that I have helped another person which is imporant to me.

For me, family comes first. Through that commitment to family, I have learned the importance of strong relationships in difficult times. It is with those lessons in mind that I approach every new client and every new case.. By far, the most important element of any case is the relationship between client and lawyer. With great trust and great communication, great results are possible.  Without trust and without communication, case results can be disastrous.  I look forward to establishing a real relationship with my clients that is based on mutual trust and open communication.. Any successful case requires commitment and effort from both attorney and client. I strive to be the partner and ally for my clients that I would want for a family member in their time of need.. I would be honored to be your lawyer.
