I zealously advocate for my clients in the areas of personal injury, criminal defense, and family law.

I understand that when you come to me, you are likely facing one of the biggest problems of you life. You deserve an attorney that takes this to heart, providing vigorous and personal service. Every client receives my cell phone number and email. I am available 24/7. All missed calls will be returned that day.. Licensed in every state and federal court in Arkansas. Handles cases all across the state. Provides aggressive and professional advocacy.

I strive to provide personal service to each and every one of my clients. This means when you call my office, I will speak with you directly and answer any question you may have.  I am on your side and will personally make sure your needs are handled professionally, quickly, and with the respect you deserve. Most cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, giving my clients equal access to justice.  You will not pay an attorney’s fee unless we recover for you.

I started practicing law in 1982.. Starting the first day I began practicing law, I’ve been asked:  “What’s your success rate?”  Tough question?  Not really.  My success rate is far above most.  And its all about one thing:  Preparation.  Preparation makes a bad lawyer good, a good lawyer great and a great lawyer greater.  I been the lead attorney on cases that have been in the national news:  United States v. Celani was featured on ABC’s 20/20 and mentioned in the New Yorker magazine; Coleman v. Watt a lawsuit filed in federal court against a city judge who ordered the police to impound a car if the license plate was expired was featured on the Phil Donahue Show.  In State of Arkansas v. Kelvin Meeks was featured on the television magazine Hardcopy.. I fight hard for my clients…never too hard, there’s no such thing. For over 30 years, I have battled with law enforcement officers, only to turn around and represent them when they are in trouble.   And I do it within the bounds of the law and in a professional manner.  (Although I might have gone too far when I was quoted in the newspaper as saying, “There’s a criminal element in the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department”.  And then there was the time I represented the first female sergeant with the North Little Rock Police Department. She was charged with perjury and that was later dismissed.  Afterwards, when I sued the police department in federal court I was quoted as saying, “She’s gonna own a fleet of police cars when this is over.”).

I enjoy helping others avoid the harrassment and pressure that debt collectors use to collect debts.  Bankruptcy is an option that can give relief where it is needed the most.  Peace of mind and the ability to either repay debts based upon a person's ability to pay, or wiping out debts in total, are tremendous tools.. No one enjoys filing for bankruptcy.  However, the biggest mistake that people make is waiting too long to investigate their options.  The sooner a person who is struggling with debt faces the facts and discovers their options, the more options that have and the more time they have to put strategies in place.. I am glad that I can serve the needs of the people in my community in this respect.

I am committed to providing quality representation, thorough communication and positive results for my clients throughout Central Arkansas.
