She was honored to make the Dean’s list, 2014 Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges and was even named a member of the inaugural class of Arkansas Tech Tradition Keepers.. Upon graduating college, Piper moved to Little Rock to begin her studies at Bowen School of Law, where she earned a Top Paper in Supreme Court Litigation. After graduating, Piper took a job with Hilburn and Harper, Ltd., and was honored to learn the tricks of family law practice from several wonderful mentors and quickly expanded her practice to all four corners of the state.. Piper is a passionate advocate who represents her clients with tenacity and endurance that will continue to serve their interests for years to come. She looks forward to continuing to represent clients in child custody disputes, adoptions, paternity actions, guardianships, and divorces, and never shying away from a challenge, she especially shines in cases involving complex marital estates (i.e. high-value assets, businesses, and farms).

I have been an attorney for over 20 years. For most of those years, my focus has been family law with domestic violence matters being a speciality. I have recently started providing representation in criminal cases. As a child of divorced parents, I understand the impact that divorce and separation can have on children and understand that children need both of their parents to be happy, healthy and well-adjusted. I also know and understand that biology does not make a parent- time, love, and attention does. If you have a family law or criminal issue do not hesitate to contact me for help!
