Trustworthy, accessible and compassionate, I return calls and reply to emails promptly. After practicing law for more than 30 years I still enjoy meeting with individuals and families to explain how simple and low stress estate planning can be.  We tailor each estate plan to each client's needs, which means the unique issues that present themselves keep things interesting and keep us always learning.  A comprehensive estate plan should nominate guardians for children under age 18 and for the person creating the plan (in case of an accident, stroke or dementia), advise loved ones of the client's wishes regarding health care, including end of life decisions, and provide for the distribution of assets after a death consistent with the client's wishes - to the people and causes most important to them, when appropriate based on each person's maturity.  We work to avoid guardianship and probate when possible so as to save expenses and keep our clients' financial affairs private.  As people age and fear being impoverished by long term health care costs, we consider it a privilege to help you protect assets and plan for eligibility for Medicaid and/or Veterans Administration pension benefits.

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 have practiced law in Little Rock since August 1984. I had my first jury trial in September, 1984.  I have litigated a wide variety of matters including businesslitigation, real estate issues, admiralty cases, bankruptcy issues, family lawmatters, personal injury claims, fire loss cases and white collar criminalcases.. I have had at least one familymember actively practicing law in Arkansas since the 1870's.  This is a professional history that I try to honor in my practice.

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.

I concentrate my practice on helping people with their estate planning. After two decades of practicing law, I gravitated towards this area for two reasons. The first is that it allows me to help people avoid problems on the front end, rather than just help them cope after problems arise. The second reason is that it allows me to spend a lot of my time teaching and sharing information with my clients instead of arguing with other lawyers. I also am available to speak to groups and organizations interested in the areas of will, trusts, and estate planning.

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.
