Top Best Criminal Appeals Lawyers | 33571 Available

“The criminal justice system is often times unbalanced in favor of the prosecution. The prosecutor holds most of the cards. I work hard to level the playing field for my clients, and make sure that my clients get a great result.”. I have been working in Benton and Caroll County for six years, representing clients charged with misdemeanors and felonies. In those 6 years I have worked diligently to defend hundreds of clients. I believe that criminal defense work can be both rewarding and humbling. My experience in some of the busiest courts in Arkansas has allowed me to work on all kinds of criminal cases, from minor traffic offenses to more serious felonies, including serious drug charges, rape and aggravated robbery charges. Having grown up in a family with other attorneys I knows how hard you have to work to win cases. I believe that through hard work you can create the little bit of luck, that is sometimes needed to win a case.

I ceased the active practice of law in 2004 and now teach full time at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith where I direct an ABA approved Paralegal Studies Program
