Since becoming an attorney in 2005, my life has been impacted by the family laws of this state. My marriage resulted in divorce, and my ex-husband and I share true joint custody of our daughter. I know, first-hand, the intricacies of these relationships and the effect that divorce can have on a family's emotional and financial well-being.. So, while my desire to be an attorney grew out of academic lessons and idealistic ideas, my reason for practicing law – family law – is much more basic: I help people get through the "murky details" so that they can get to the "living life" part.. After completing college at the University of Central Arkansas with a bachelor's degree in business administration, I studied law at the University of Arkansas. Except for a stint at the Arkansas Securities Department, where I litigated securities fraud issues, and a short but educational foray into banking as a commercial lender, I have practiced family law.

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 have been practicing law in Little Rock since 1983.  I am married to Helena McGill Schulze, to whom I have also been married since 1983.  We have two sons, Christopher and Benjamin, both of whom are working in the computer field.. I am an amateur linguist who practices law for a living.  The only second language in which I am fluent enough to do business is Spanish, but I know a smattering of a few other languages.. My favorite area of practice is appellate law.  I also enjoy working with expert witnesses on scientific issues.  I do a lot of Social Security disability and personal injury litigation.  I also do some civil rights work from time to time.

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.
