Frequently Asked Questions

A : In criminal cases, the evidence against you can be challenged by questioning the reliability of witness statements, seeking out new evidence (such as CCTV camera footage) that supports your innocence, and helping the prosecution understand the full background of your case. In every instance, you will need an experienced, determined criminal defense lawyer to lead the process.

A : In Arkansas, family courts will evaluate the safety and stability of each parent’s home, the role each parent plays in your child’s life, your child’s age, and any special healthcare or educational needs that your child might have to determine what is in their best interests.

A : In Arkansas, you can still recover damages, so long as you were 50% or less at fault for the accident. Your recovery amount, however, will be lowered by the percentage of fault you are found to have shared. For example, if your claim was worth $100,000 but you are determined to have been 30% at fault for the accident, your recovery amount will be reduced to $70,000.
