All of my life experiences prepared me to be a lawyer and help people.   I grew up in a family with an extremely high work ethic, which led to my own personal conviction to strive for excellence in all I do.   In high school, I volunteered at a nursing home, where the values I already knew from my family and faith, those of having a deep sense of care and compassion for people, was reinforced.. In college, I continued volunteer work in mental health centers as I pursued my major in Psychology.  It was at the mental health centers that I gained an understanding and empathy for those who suffer from mental health and addictions issues, as well as the impact it has on the entire family.. Also in college, I served as President of our Senior Class and Vice-President of our Junior Class, which helped develop confidence and leadership skills that make a difference in the type of attorney that I am today.  Serving as a Resident Assistant in the dorms also helped strengthen my leadership abilities and my abilities to be responsible for many things at once.. Surprisingly, and having no idea of what the future would hold, the experiences that probably most prepared me for the courtroom was serving in lead roles in two college theatrical productions and one college musical production.  In addition, writing several articles that were published in the College Literary Arts Magazine allowed me to learn and utilize writing skills that would also help me to be the best attorney that I could be.. After college, I worked in a community mental health center, first in an addictions recovery program, and then doing initial assessments of patients in the intake unit.  There, I learned the skills of questioning, listening, assessing, demonstrating empathy, and problem-solving, all helpful skills to have as a lawyer. Additionally, my core belief in the worth and value of every person was reinforced, as was my belief in showing compassion to hurting people.. Although many of my experiences demonstrate the number one reason I do what I do, which is to HELP people, these experiences in and of themselves are not the only things that formed me into the lawyer that I am.  It is true that I have a compassionate heart, but I also have the intellect and the relational abilities that combine and complement one another.   I have been blessed with a work ethic wherein I strive for excellence in all I do.  Additionally, I have been blessed with the intellectual ability that helps me serve others, graduating magna cum laude and scoring in the top 4% in the country on the Law School Admission Test.. Before going into private practice, I worked in a local small firm, and then for 8 years as the Attorney for the Elkhart County Department of Child Services.   The experiences and knowledge that I took from that job alone could fill a book!  Suffice it to say that the experience of working in the area of child abuse and neglect was yet another life experience that had a huge impact on me and the type of lawyer I am today.. Now in private practice, I have been blessed to work with the most awesome “team” of attorneys, paralegals, and support staff, who share my belief in the value of people and in the belief that our purpose is to help those who need our help with their legal matters.  That is why we are here, and that is why we do what we do.  Together, we have strength and synergy to help people in a way that none of us could do alone.

Compassionate and hardworking.  You are more than just another case.. I enjoy working with people and helping them navigate the complex legal system. I have a long history of always fighting for the underdog.  That same mentality has carried over to my legal career..

I am a certified ad litem for children in domestic relations, probate matters, and children in foster care.. When I'm not working I enjoy spending time with my spouse and our animals.  I also enjoy reading, working on our home, and spending time with friends.

From an early age, I found that I was very adept at working with fine details and applying them toward a solution. As someone who has always been an analytical thinker, I reveled in the art of critical thinking and problem-solving. This is what eventually led to me joining the U.S. Army.. I joined the Army so that I could learn to further develop those skills and apply them to real-world situations. For me, one of the best parts of serving was learning to work with others toward a common goal. It's what not only led me toward serving my country, but also a big part of what got me through my service, which included my participation in the invasion of Panama in 1989.. When I finished my service, I was immediately drawn toward practicing law because I knew it would allow me to continue to use my analytical and problem-solving skills to serve my community. I was quickly accepted into the University of Nebraska College of Law and received my Juris Doctor before returning to my home state of Arkansas to begin practicing law. From the outset, I decided to focus on a few areas of the law that would provide me with the opportunity to help people who often didn't have the means or opportunity to help themselves.. My initial focus was on legal appeals because I knew that my ability to study the smallest details of a case could go a long way toward helping my clients reverse the original decision in their case. Outside of appeals, I decided to also devote my knowledge and expertise toward family and military law.. Given my military background and my familiarity with many of the legal entanglements associated with military service, I knew I wanted to provide counsel and support for the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve this great country. Serving in the U.S. Army has provided me with a strong familiarity with the unique situations that service members face, both in regards to their relationships with family and their legal affairs.. At the end of the day, my goal is to provide affordable, reliable legal services and representation to individuals and families in Little Rock, Conway, and across the state of Arkansas. With over two decades of experience practicing law throughout the state, I'm truly committed to helping the members of my community navigate the legal system. I do this by providing effective legal strategies that can help them overcome whatever challenges they may be facing.. Through compassion, dedication, and a relentless work ethic, I'll do everything I can to help my clients find a solution that can help them move forward. So if you or someone you know is looking for trusted legal counsel, call my office today and schedule a free case consultation.

Hi. I’m Zoë! I’m originally from Washington state, born and raised. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Washington State University (Go Cougs!). We moved to Arkansas for me to attend law school and loved it! I’ve graduated, married, bought a house, found a job, have dogs and cats and a baby soon. We love southern living and my husband and I are here to stay.. Before law school and even college, I had several jobs including packing and storing apples at an apple warehouse, grocery store clerk, lifeguard, and swim instructor. I’m from Yakima, Washington, which is primarily known for its agriculture, hops, and wineries. With that, there were, and still are, a ton of less fortunate, underrepresented people in the town who need legal services. I guess that comes with every city, huh? That’s how I found my love for becoming an attorney and off I went. To get on track for law school, I majored in Criminal Justice and Criminology with minors in Political Science and Psychology. I’ve always stayed busy and involved, as I was Scholarship Chairwoman and on the board of Academics for Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, Beta Sigma chapter. In addition, I participated in a $1,000,000 research project in the Criminal Justice Department at Washington State University.. While in law school, I clerked at several different places and gained substantial experience in criminal defense, family law, property law, social security disability, and even some personal injury law. I’ve found great love in criminal defense and family law, which is why I am the perfect fit for the Lion Legal Services team. I am outgoing, ambitious, and strong-willed. I understand what it means to be in need, and worried about how the legal process works. That’s why I’m the gal for you. There will never be a time that you can’t reach out to me to ask questions and be reassured that I’ve got your back, whether in the office and in the courtroom.. In my spare time, I enjoy crafting and DIY projects, spending time on my porch playing cards, or simply hanging out with friends. I especially love the summer and the lakes!. My email is

I’m Kristy – born and raised in the Arkansas Delta. My parents are from Aberdeen and Humphrey, two miniscule towns that if you blink while driving past, you’ll miss them. I’m the first attorney in my extended family as far back as anyone can remember. We were raised up with the belief that we only hire lawyers as an absolute last case scenario because they were so cost-prohibitive. It’s sort of like going to any place that doesn’t list prices – if you have to ask, you can’t really afford them, right? That’s one of the reasons I’m happy to work at Lion Legal. We provide flat rate fees for a variety of services, so you know what you’re going to pay without even having to pick up the phone (and give everybody your life’s story.). My grandparents were a huge part of my life. I was at their house every chance I got, reading on the porch swing, playing in the dirt, or riding around looking at the cows. They instilled deep Southern Baptist values in me that I’ll always carry. We treat people right, we love everybody, and we pray for a whole list of folks every night.. My grandmother was the best person I’ll ever know. Mary B (the B stood for a name she hated, so I’ll leave it out lest she smite me) taught me so much, but most importantly, to always stick up for those that don’t have somebody to help them. We were raised to do what’s right and to help those who need it, and that’s a big part of why I became a lawyer.. Among many other things, she was the best negotiator I’ve ever seen, and I’m proud to say those genes passed straight through to me. I wish y’all could’ve seen her. It’s a shame she wasn’t an attorney herself, but fortunately I learned a ton from her, and love using those skills to help whoever I can.. I understand the struggles a lot of people in Arkansas face because I’ve faced those same struggles. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon, I wasn’t related to anyone that I could name-drop to get a job or get out of trouble, and we were definitely the poor relations on every side of the family. This is why I love working here – we cater to Working Arkansans who need help and come from a background similar to mine. You don’t have to be rich for us to help you, you don’t have to know somebody, you just show up and we’ll roar to your rescue.. I had a pretty great childhood that fostered a love of learning, an intuitiveness of right and wrong, and I thrived on figuring out how to move gray areas to a place that benefits people I care about. I think any kid with dirt under their feet and a little freedom is enjoying life, and that segued into a well-rounded adulthood.. I’m married to a pretty great guy that I met in high school band and we have the self-titled Best Kid in the World – although we’re hitting those teenage years and we may snatch that title from him yet. I want to leave a legacy for him like the one my family left for me – of fairness, of Christian values, of helping people that need a hand. His childhood is a lot like mine was–he loves to read, but also loves to romp around outside with various animals. He’s a wild child and loves the country life.. We still live in the Delta, and although we’ve moved a little North and a little West, I still live within an hour’s drive of the place I called home for 30 years. We have a random assortment of animals—I guess I never quite did learn to let go of a farm—but even though we’re up early and asleep late with running our son to what feels like every sport in the world (and band, the same one his daddy and I met in), making sure our ducks and rabbits and all our other animals are happy, and hanging out with our two favorite little girls ever (our nieces), I wouldn’t change a thing..
