I was born in Ruston, Louisiana before moving to Mandeville, Louisiana in 2005, one month before Hurricane Katrina, one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history. My family’s experience with criminal law issues was the motivation for my becoming a defense attorney. I have personal experience with the kind of effects criminal matters can have on a family unit both physically and emotionally.. I graduated from the University of New Orleans with a degree in Finance in 2014. I decided I wanted a change of scenery in 2016 when I decided to enroll at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock, William H. Bowen School of Law. My wife and I love living in central Arkansas and have put down roots here.. While in law school, I had the opportunity of being exposed to criminal law while working for an attorney in North Little Rock. It took me some time to realize that my passion was not in Finance and Accounting, my first career, but that it actually resided in criminal law and domestic relations.. My criminal practice primarily involves defending misdemeanors, probation/parole matters and expungements but I also assist Mr. McKay in his complex felony cases. In addition, I maintain a domestic relations practice, which includes divorces, dissolution, child custody, child support, alimony, adoptions, paternity and guardianship. I also work in the areas of bankruptcy, estate planning and probate, elder law, and disability benefits.

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 practice for the people behind the cases.  Dedicated family man, son of an American farmer.  Proudly serving Central and Southern Arkansas.

I have been an attorney for approximately 24 years.  I was first licensed to practice in Alabama in 1990.  In 2012, I received my license to practice in Arkansas.  My practice is general in nature, meaning that I work for clients in the fields of domestic relations, criminal defense, dependency/neglect, juvenile delinquency, civil litigation (personal injury, medical malpractice, employment law, civil rights matters), Probate Matters and Appellate work.. My relocation to Arkansas does not mean that I have abandoned my business in Alabama.  Working with WMDR (the law firm of Wallace, Martin, Duke and Russell, PLLC), I have the flexibility to work between states.

I grew up right in the middle of Arkansas, and after serving in the military, I obtained my law degree and moved back to the Little Rock area with my family. As an attorney, I have a desire to help the people around me find their way through the complicated legal situations of their lives — whether it's estate planning, probate, difficult family law issues, or facing criminal charges and fighting for their rights. Everyone deserves the chance to have skilled legal counsel to help them make the most important decisions and fight the biggest battles of their lives. I can help you understand your legal options and work toward finding a favorable result for your case.
