My name is Shane Ethridge. When I'm not practicing law I enjoy hunting, fishing, hanging out with my family, and watching the Razorbacks.  Ever since I started practice I have been a defense lawyer and have never entertained the idea of being a prosecutor because I want to represent people and not an overreaching State.  I also help people in family law, divorce, and custody situations because I enjoy helping people get through difficult times. The remainder of my practice focuses on accident cases and civil litigation.

In addition to successfully defending businesses charged with ‘civil RICO,’ trademark infringement, gender discrimination, and workplace harassment, I also have an extensive amount of experience in DWI's, felonies and misdemeanors as well as real estate matters, landlord tenant law, and family law.
