If you need an attorney that is willing to fight for your case and truly cares- hire Martha-Kay (Gus) Crowder!!!! We truly had lost all hope in winning our case against our insurance company. She worked tirelessly to resolve our case and WON!!!! Not only that- she made the effort to take corresponding with our insurance company off of our hands. She handled everything quickly and we ended up with an even better outcome than we could have imagined!!! Thank you to Mrs. Crowder!!

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!

Thorough knowledge of the law and how to prepare cases. Uses little known facts to help win your case. He is incredibly smart, hard-working—all characteristics that lend to being a very successful attorney. In addition, he takes the time to listen to the facts to better help you in your case. Highly recommend!

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.

If you are a father fighting for your kids, I’m telling you right now run to Victoria Bruton as fast as possible. After a decade of navigating the court system amid a high-conflict custody case, I've faced numerous challenges: false accusations, lies, and slander. While engaging with the most prominent attorneys in NWA, I never felt heard. They simply wanted to wrap up the case as easily as possible which meant they expected me to give into ridiculous demands. When the opposing party starts out at ridiculous and you start out at normal; the compromise usually ends up being halfway between completely insane and normal. Victoria is different. She gets it. She understands how important fathers are in a child’s life. She isn’t afraid of a good fight. She exhibits unparalleled attention to detail, professionalism and determination. Unlike others who prioritized ease, Victoria fiercely advocated for me, uncovering critical details such as my ex's affair with a married man. She fought for me like a game bred pit bull. I’m not exaggerating you’re getting the Nick Saban of family attorneys when you hire Victoria. My rights were suspended due to a false accusation in an ex parte hearing. Victoria went in there and it wasn’t even close. It was like that time Georgia played Florida State in 2023. She left the opposing attorney struggling to put together coherent sentences. She caught my ex in numerous lies on the stand and skewered their so called professional witness. I almost felt bad for them…almost I’m not exaggerating when I say if my life was on the line I would hire Victoria. The only reason I’m leaving this review is bc I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve felt the hopelessness you’re experiencing. I never want anyone to feel like that. Victoria literally saved my family and my world. If you’re reading this review bc you want to learn about Victoria bc your ex hired her, get ready. It’s gonna be a long day.

I regret to say that my experience with this law firm, particularly attorney Kate Hill, was incredibly disappointing. I scheduled a consultation appointment with Kate after her assistant assured me that there were no conflicts of interest that would prevent her from representing me. However, after Kate spoke with my ex-wife's attorney, who happened to be my opposition, she suddenly claimed that a conflict existed, rendering her unable to represent me in any future matters. It is deeply concerning that Kate's decision seemed to be influenced by conversations with the opposing party's attorney. This indicates a lack of integrity and independence on her part, which are essential qualities for any lawyer. A lawyer's primary duty should be to advocate for their client's best interests, not to bow to pressure from the other side. Overall, my experience with this law firm, particularly with attorney Kate Hill, has left me questioning their professionalism and commitment to their clients. I would caution anyone considering their services to proceed with extreme caution, as their actions suggest a weak and easily swayed legal representation.

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!

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.

Mr. Depper was kind but firm in what I would need to do to resolve my legal issues. The first face to face meeting his confidence was apparent and his knowledge of the system was strong. I was nervous and really did not think any lawyer would care to go the distance with my family. Not only did Mr. Depper go the distance but he gave me sound advice, answered all my questions, calls, and messages regardless of how emotionally distraught or anxious I was. He is a very good listener and does his homework. I thought at the beginning of my case there was no hope and I would be railroaded by the system. With Mr. Depper there was no chance of this happening. Even when I was ready to settle for anything just to get the case closed he was still fighting for us. I had a lot of work to do and he was very up front about my responsibilities. With each step he was encouraging, and supportive. He never once backed down. Throughout the case I kept telling myself what he had told me from the very beginning. "Your case depends on how many hoops they throw at you that you are willing to jump through...with a smile on your face". I would jump again. He was right. Even if they set them on fire he was there to put it out. Strong, knowledgeable, supportive, and someone that has a good ethic. I feel privileged to have had him on my side. I was able to walk out with my chin up, and faith restored. Thank you Mr. Depper I could never have done this without you!

This summer I found myself in serious trouble and in need of legal help but had no idea how to find an attorney that would handle my type of problem. After searching and asking around, I stumbled onto the AVVO website. When I found Mr. Depper's page I noticed he had taken the time to answer more than 60 legal questions. I read his responses and I liked the way he answered people. He was very clear, to the point and helpful to those with inquiries. I contacted him via email through his website and he responded a few minutes later. When I met him in person I found his demeanor matched the person depicted in the legal responses. I learned very quickly that I did not have to explain things in a hurry to him. He listened to everything I had to say and let me explain in my own way. He carefully looked through everything I had to show him asked questions for clarification and took a lot of notes. He explained the challenges that I would be facing and explained the general process of resolving my case. He answered all of my questions and when I didn't understand something he seemed to be happy to go over it again. When I walked out of his office that day I felt a tremendous relief. I felt like he had a thorough understanding of my situation and of me as an individual. I felt blessed to have a strong advocate with a solid plan. We had three additional meetings and two phone conversations before my hearing took place. Mr. Depper stayed true to his initial character. He always answered all of my questions , he listened and did not rush me. He addressed every issue I raised by either telling me how he was handling it or making me understand why it was irrelevant. He never allowed our meetings to conclude without making certain I had no more questions. He always invited me to contact him if I had questions but that it was never necessary to contact him since he answered everything up front. When it came time to go to court he met with me and explained how the hearing would proceed. On the morning of the hearing he spent a few minutes with me beforehand to make sure i was calm and did not have any questions or concerns. During the hearing I was a little in awe of him. He was very organized and well prepared. He systematically raised for consideration every issue we had concerns with. He kept everyone on topic including the opposing attorney. When the hearing was over he talked with me again. We briefly reviewed what transpired in the hearing and he let me know what to expect next. A few weeks later we learned that his defense was successful and there were no more steps to take. I am very grateful to Mr. Depper for really hearing me, for taking my case and fighting for me. He is truly a blessing.

When I first found Mr. Hixson, I only spoke with him over the phone but he immediately put me at ease. Once I actually met him in person, I felt an instant connection, something I had not felt with my previous attorney. Mr. Hixson was kind, knowledgeable, sympathetic, and I knew that he was going to do his best to help me. He asked a lot of questions and took a lot of notes which made me feel he was very interested in who I was and the situation I was dealing with. No matter how many stupid questions, I asked he was patient and explained everything in great detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you again!

My wife was involved in a car wreck while pregnant. We did not feel like the insurance company was taking our claim seriously so we contacted Mr. Deacon, who came highly recommended. We were very happy with him throughout the process. He kept us informed at all times and was up front and honest about the worth of our claim as well how the process would unfold. The end result was exactly what he stated to us early in the process. If I was looking for a lawyer again, I would look no further than Mr. Deacon.

John Mikesch is an outstanding attorney and I simply cannot fit my testimonial of the accolades and commendations I have for him into the character limits of this review page. If you want an attorney that is well known and respected by every judge in Northwest Arkansas, John is your guy. It was amazing to see multiple other attorneys and even a police officer come up to him after court and tell him what an amazing job he did. He is truly an artist in his field. He is extremely knowledgeable in law practice, an elegant orator in the court room, and a brilliant legal strategist. He gracefully balances all of those legal-bulldog traits with compassion and understanding for what his clients are going through. He does this by taking the time to explain difficult to understand legal processes, and always suggesting his best and most sensible course of action, while still making you feel comfortable going some other route, if you wanted to for some reason. His respone time is uncanny, and every time I sent him an email or text message, I would get a reply within minutes. I can't thank or praise John enough, and he has my highest recommendation as an attorney.

Tyler coordinated with the opposing party's attorney and the ad litem in my case, advising me of my available options based on this discourse and the circumstances that were given. Me and my ex were able to come to an agreement to present the judge before the final hearing that I feel was fair to all parties, thanks in no small way due to Tyler's diligence and attention to detail in my case.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You

A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.

Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.

  • Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.

  • Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
  • Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.

    Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

  • Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
  • Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
  • Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:

  • A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
  • Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
  • A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
  • Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
