I have to give a huge, gratitude-filled shoutout to Christopher Hooks at RBSR for serving my business and family during a difficult situation for all of us. He handled our case with confidence and professionalism, ultimately resolving the issue. We are grateful for the work he did and the level of support he provided us as we navigated unknown territory.
I'd also like to give a shout out to Sarah Walton with RBSR, who answered countless billing/documentation questions that put my mind at ease, knowing exactly where we stood and updated on our case.
I can't recommend this team enough! Thank you for your service:)

Mr. Kirby Mouser displayed professionalism throughout my entire case, he's very relaxed but I was in awe of his expertise at my social security hearing. But what really made an impression on me after the hearing he allowed me to express my concerns and he answered all of my questions, and I totally appreciated that. He could of rushed me off but he didn't. He made me feel like he's rooting for me to get my life back on track. Yes I will definitely recommend him to friends, and associates.

Mr. Morris was kind enough to make a house call to help my elderly neighbor finish her estate planning. He was very patient and deliberate as he explained every aspect of her trust arrangements. Then he made another trip to her home to deliver the signed documents after they were recorded. Highly recommend this man to serve as your attorney as regards estate planning.

I had the pleasure of working with Preston Sanders when I got into a bit of trouble with a traffic ticket violation. From the moment I contacted him, Preston was dedicated and committed to helping me out. He took the time to listen to my situation, thoroughly reviewed the details of my case, and provided me with sound legal advice.
Thanks to Preston's expertise and hard work, he was able to get the case against me dismissed. However, there was a hiccup with the county clerk's office, and they mistakenly recorded the result incorrectly. Despite the case being resolved in my favor, this error caused unnecessary confusion and frustration.
Fortunately, Preston didn't just stop at winning the case—he went above and beyond by following up with the county clerk's office months later to rectify the mistake. He handled the situation with professionalism and persistence until everything was sorted out correctly.
I highly recommend Preston Sanders to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy lawyer. His dedication to his clients and his commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly set him apart.

By good fortune for me, Mr. Rick Woods became my Attorney. We didn't always agree, but he stood by his guns and spoke his truth, even when I was a difficult client. When I called his office, he would call me right back; when I emailed, I didn't wait long for a response; when I was out in left field, he reeled me back in. Rick was very attentive, and approachable. It was refreshing to have someone of good character on my side. His performance in the courtroom left me proud to call him my Attorney. It is with great esteem that I highly recommend Mr. Rick Woods as one of the most reliable, and professional attorneys that I've had the pleasure to work with. Bonus: His staff is awesome!

I know Matt McCoy as a fellow member of the bar. He is, without question, one of the more astute and thoughtful attorneys I have worked with in my career. I have followed his work closely and, while in private practice, inherited work he performed for a client. Quite simply, I was extremely impressed with the work product that Matt produced on behalf of this client.
Beyond his client service, I have also been personal witness to Matt's advocacy skills in a courtroom setting. He is logical, methodical, and results-oriented. When he makes an argument on paper or in the courtroom, he puts every bit of himself into the shoes of his client.
Finally, I have also sought Matt's advice and counsel on an array of legal topics where his expertise in, for instance, litigation, labor/employment law, procedure/administration, and Arkansas statutory law far exceeded similarly situated attorneys. Indeed, he is a "go to" type of attorney in many areas. His greatest attribute to his clients is his practical and helpful advice given on a one to one basis.
Without hesitation, I would seek Matt's advice again, as well as recommend him to handle any number of legal matters.

My wife and I recently hired Chris and his law firm to do a Revocable Trust for the two of us. We could not have been more satisfied with our experience. Chris is a very straight-forward and personable attorney, and we both felt that he went above and beyond to get to know and understand our family dynamics. Very reasonably priced and his documents and explanations are thorough and clear. His office manager Kyle was also very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this attorney and his staff!

Extremely satisfied with our experience and the law firm's client service!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Ryan Applegate, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. He was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, taking the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions.
Throughout the legal process, Attorney Ryan Applegate was always there to provide guidance and support. He was extremely responsive to my calls and emails, and he always kept me informed about the status of my case. His expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case, and I felt confident that I had the best representation possible.
But what truly impressed me about Attorney Ryan Applegate was his compassion and understanding. He recognized the emotional toll that my legal issue was taking on me and my family, and he went above and beyond to provide not only legal counsel but also emotional support. He truly cared about my well-being, and it was clear that he was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me.
Thanks to Attorney Ryan's hard work and dedication, my case was resolved in my favor. I cannot express my gratitude enough for his exceptional representation and support throughout the entire process. If you are in need of legal assistance, I highly recommend Attorney Ryan Applegate He is an outstanding attorney who truly cares about his clients and their well-being.

After my marriage 3 months ago, I applied for a home loan, so that I and my wife could move to a better apartment, but I got a negative reply, which I was told was a result of my credit score. When I pulled my score it was below average. I had $12,000 student loan, some credit card debt, charge off and an eviction. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST helped me erase all the above negative reports and boosted my score to excellent in less than 6 days. I’m recommending them to any one in need of credit assistance.

Tripp was exactly the lawyer we needed, when we needed him. The contractors on my home ripped me off, walked off the job, did a flawed job of what was completed, needless to say they did not complete the entire job. To top things off, the contractors filed a lien on my house. There were several twists and turns throughout the case. Just before trail, I went into the hospital with no direct contact/planning from Tripp. Tripp was still prepared anyway despite being limited in the decisions he could make. Within the last two days of court, the contractors brought in a new hot shot attorney from out of state. The new attorney disregarded the discovery process since he was not involved. My first expert witness was promptly dismissed. The court went into continuance. Tripp managed get to the testimony from my first expert witness anyway. In the end, the judge dismissed the contractor's case and granted me a judgement. A two-attorney team did not have skill nor court room presence to defeat Tripp’s preparation, presentation and court room presence. I have only hired a few attorneys who all have done some great things for me. Tripp is the top of the list.

All of these are things that you look for in an attorney. Tripp Estes possesses all of these traits and more. Look no further!
My husband and I made the difficult decision to let go of our attorney 2 weeks before our custody trial. We stumbled upon Tripp online and made the choice to hire him. It was the best decision we could have ever made. Tripp was the light at the end of our tunnel. Our only regret is that we didn't hire him from the very beginning.
Honesty: Our case was a very complicated one and Tripp accepted the daunting task! From the very beginning he was honest with us. There are quite a few attorneys that make a practice of giving you false hope, only to leave you distraught and completely blind-sighted with the judges verdict. Tripp is not one of these attorneys. He is going to be up front with you. You will know where you stand at all time.
He is a family man. This is very important if you want someone to fight for your family's rights. You want someone who has great morals and one who is compassionate.
Tripp is dedicated. He worked around the clock to get caught up on our case and prepare for trial.
In court Tripp was very detail oriented and organized. He knows the law and is very well respected and known in NWA.
From the very beginning until even after trial, Tripp was in constant communication. He was always able to be reached via email or phone. We even had a few incidents in which Tripp took the time to contact us over the weekend. Some attorneys will make you feel like you are completely in the dark. Tripp will never do this.
Needless to say, we were granted everything we fought for in court. Because of Tripp my husband and I are able to rest easy We won in court and so will you if you choose to hire a professional, competent attorney, such as Tripp Estes! I am confident that if you make the right choice to hire Tripp to fight for you and your family's rights he will do everything within his power to do so.
More times than not the verdict made in court will alter your life forever. This is why it is so very important to hire someone like Tripp. Do NOT make the mistake we made by waiting to hire Tripp. Make the right choice. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Tripp! You are truly a lifesaver!

Mr. Corcoran was such a sweetheart! I called him for advice regarding a lease I was pressured into signing when I was apartment shopping. I had two weeks till the lease was supposed to start and I wanted out so I was in a bit of a time crunch! He reviewed my contract and in the end I was offered either termination of my contract or a much lower rate and no fees at all if I decided to stay! Mr. Corcoran was very prompt and professional. I would suggest him to ANYONE who is needing legal help! I really liked the fact that he took my small problem and not only made it a priority but made me feel at ease during the process.

I learned a great appreciation for the importance of the knowledge gained through 30+ years of experience by observing the process that he guided us through. You can't learn all of what you need to know from the books. Jack carries a vast library of knowledge gained through experience and study.

The Brad Hendricks Law Firm
The Brad Hendricks Law Firm consists of some of Arkansas’ most professional lawyers.
I am an old man who has traveled the world, and never before I have met a young fellow with the nobility I detected in Attorney Kitchen. I also had the opportunity to work with one of the most ingenious lawyers in the State of Arkansas. This gentleman is efficient in all his professional responsibilities
and demonstrates an exceptional mastery of his skills. In these times when young men and women often have no social graces or respect towards their elders, Attorney Kitchen was very respectful in his communication with me regarding my case and never missed referring to me as mister or sir. He followed high standards of ethical behavior in our attorney-client
relationship. I’d like to crown Attorney Kitchen as a Knight!
Mr. Hendricks, it was an honor to do business with your law firm.
