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 focus my practice on labor and employment law, regulatory/administrative law, general civil and commercial litigation, and government relations.  I represent employer/management interests in a variety of areas such as: wage and hour actions and investigations, OSHA and non-OSHA citations and safety and compliance audits, employment contract disputes, covenants not to compete, Family and Medical Leave issues, management contract negotiation with unions, assisting as legal counsel during opposition to union organizing campaigns, union grievances and arbitrations, labor disputes and arbitrations, charges of discrimination, reductions in force, and drafting of employer-specific documents such as handbooks, severance agreements, and employment contracts.

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 thankful to have a job that gives me the chance to learn something new every single day, whether its new medical terminology for a medical malpractice, wrongful death, or personal injury case, a new discovery method I can utilize, or new case law or a statutory amendment that will be crucial for me to know and apply in my daily practice.. I enjoy meeting and working with new clients, and reconnecting with former clients.  When a person’s life intersects with that of an attorney, it’s usually not pleasant.  In my practice, I am typically meeting someone due to a traumatic event that has or is occurring in that person’s life—a divorce, an injury, an unexpected death.. I truly admire my clients' courage, strength, grace, and determination and understand that they have put their faith and trust in me to represent their interests.  I do not take this remarkable task lightly.

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

I am a general practice attorney, and have represented hundreds of clients over the years in a wide variety of situations.  I work primarily in the fields of civil litigation, family law, personal injury, and criminal defense, but my firm also handles business litigation and contract disputes, real estate and property transactions, and wills and trusts. Watson & Watson is a small family firm with over 45 years of experience.  We have low overhead, so we offer excellent rates. We would be happy to give you a free consultation any time over the phone.  We have offices in Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Newport.

I am a criminal defense attorney currently working at the Pulaski County Public Defender's Office.
