**Long post, but worth the read if you're doing your due diligence in searching for the best representation possible**
I would like to share my experience with this law firm, which was one of the WORST I’ve ever had. Trent’s primary motive seems to be strictly money, which is not enough to adequately represent a client and being a GREAT lawyer as we the people deserve. I've had an ongoing case involving my daughter and her maternal grandparents for eight years and have been represented by five other lawyers during this time with a very similar pattern, despite this, I have still not been found unfit after all these years. Likely due to having no pattern of criminal history. I am a registered nurse, native everyday to help people who are sick and hurting, I do my best to uphold a professional and ethical demeanor. This lead me to belief that I would make an ideal client to represent, and that one would think this would make my case straightforward. I even provided all necessary evidence to Trent, neatly organized files over the last eight years on a Google Drive. I was highly responsive, did much of the work for him, and paid nearly $10,000 to this firm in less than two months, yet I have a hard time recalling my case progressing ANY. My friends and relatives were even left asking me often, what has he accomplished for you? This was embarrassing considering the amount of effort and money I put forth with him.
I am not denying my cases complexity, however I paid what he asked and worked alongside him to assist as much as possible. I hoped and asked for plans and guidance to advance my case, as he was the lawyer, but I often felt like I was left playing the role of lawyer myself which no client should feel this way. I had to request often for motions to be filed that he promised. He joined a call with the ad litem, spoke barely a few words, yet charged outrageous for the call. I could go on and on of disappointing things I encounter with this firm. I’ll leave it at this, If your case is straightforward, he might take it, charge you the maximum price, and leave you thinking you got a good deal when, in reality, any lawyer could have done it, and for a better price. I needed expertise, not some lawyer going through the motions.
I had encountered financial difficulties as the case was requesting more and more of me, along with unexpected problems with my home that I ALSO purchased prior to this lawyer so that i could be closer to my daughter, despite juggling a multitude of financial burdens that I expressed well with him I still managed to pay $300-400 per week, which I felt was a great amount, that’s nearly another mortgage each month, however my case was still dropped because I was being billed hundreds more each week which I had and still have a hard time understanding. When I reviewed my case file, it lacked significant documentation and seemed filled with irrelevant copy-paste case studies. We only had one hearing, during which the attorney persuaded me to take a deal I didn't want, which resulted in more hardship in this case for me. While I understand that lawyers need to make money, they also have the discretion to charge fairly. This attorney showed no empathy for my case or concern for my daughter’s outcome—only an interest in making money. Imagine being cared for by a nurse who is only interested in their paycheck and does the bare minimum—that's how I felt with this firm.
Now I have no lawyer and barely any finances to hire another. He has turned over other dues to collections, that I do not agree with, and a final hearing coming up shortly, that I have no clue what to do.
I wish all reading this the best of luck finding the help you deserve

The experience I had with River City Law Firm was magnificent. Trent was very professional and knowledgeable about my personal situation and was very helpful during my time of need . I want to thank him and his colleagues for doing and outstanding job even with child custody and property issues.

I am beyond pleased with Trent and his office!! I have had to have a few different lawyers and he is by far the best one. He kept me informed the whole way. Anytime I needed something he was always there. If I ever need a lawyer, he is my go-to and most defiantly will be recommending him to everyone I know.

Boy, Do I have a Testimony! I won’t put it all here; but, I moved to Arkansas to follow my daughter who was placed in the care of her father some years prior.
It was a relentless, dirty battle in another state. Justice was not on my side. The system is tricky to navigate and I was just a kid myself then.
5-6 years later I found out some things and move to central Arkansas. Upon looking for an attorney who was passionate and could help me navigate this system I stumbled across River City. Relatively new, I was skeptical 🧐 but Trent responded immediately when I called and emailed. He looked at my case, he thoroughly advised me what my steps would be and didn’t make promises but kept pushing for what needed to be done. I was kept informed at any time and I could call or email at any time for updates and he had thorough knowledge and answers. It is INCREDIBLY difficult to find an attorney who CARES and Trent & Logan CARES ! I am in tears with how well and smoothly this all went.
Money well spent and if you’re looking for a lawyer, look no further ! Just call this place and have your ducks in a row! 🙌🏽

Mr Newcomb really helped me out with an situation and he doesn’t hesitate when I call him to seek legal advice. He’s actually very understanding and always returns my calls. I’m glad I consulted with him about legal advice.

I can honestly say that I think Trent will be my attorney for life. From getting me through a very nasty divorce, to custody battles, and even pointing me in the right direction with disability; Trent has always been a light. He is patient and direct, works well with other parties, and most definitely has your back in the courtroom. No one ever wants to go to court, but if you end up needing to, Trent is an asset that you will want by your side.
