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.

I and a few others I know have known Chris for a few years now, and he’s fantastic! I haven’t used his services yet, but when I met with him briefly, I could tell he was professional, calm, and very educated. He answered every question I had (even if I considered them dumb) and even gave advice. GREAT service!

I was thoroughly satisfied to be referred to Deb Sexton’s Law Firm. She and her staff were more than compassionate and experienced working with me. Deb and Ben made everything easier for me and gave me peace of mind for my family. Deb worked hard on many details to get my estate in order and communicated with me frequently to keep me informed while working on the estate plan. It was a service that made me feel at ease. Deb and her staff were always kind and efficient. If you need confidence in planning your estate, call Deb Sexton!!

I had a bench warrant out for my arrest with a couple traffic violations tagged onto it. It was passed by a couple of years and could have turned into something serious. George and his staff were very professional and understanding of my situation. They kept their promises and kept me from going to jail. They presented themselves on my behalf in court. I only had to meet with an officer to acknowledge and sign paper work. Amongst the COVID pandemic, everything was done at a timely manner. The more facts and honesty you give to your lawyer, the more they have to work with making your case run more smoothly.

I have worked with George and McManus Law Firm multiple times. He is always transparent about what he thinks about a case, asks great clarifying questions, and better yet, gets the job done. Something I appreciate most about working with George is the Integrity that he and his team bring to the table. I am always confident he will help in good faith, and he thinks about what is best for the client. He is very much so "If I put myself in your shoes..." type of person with the abilities and skills to handle that professionally and successfully in resolving a legal matter.
The team he has put together is amazing as well, and they always kept me updated on the case & answered my questions. Each time I called his office with a question, they were familiar with my case (no matter the size) and always provided me with an answer. If there was ever any uncertainty, they were direct and honest about it, and then call back with a definite confirmation. In addition to his team members reaching out with updates, George also called me personally throughout the case and was there to speak to his previous actions, recommendations, and next steps.
He's reliable and dependable. I strongly recommend George McManus and his team to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Excellent attorney. Michael did a great job representing me when my ex wife sued me for my retirement. Although we lost, Michael did everything right. He presented my side of the issue in a very professional way and I felt that he was a better lawyer than my ex wife's lawyer. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing legal representation.

In September my daughter and I were involved in a motor vehicle accident. After the accident we sought treatment for the head, neck, and shoulder injuries we sustained as a result of the collision. I found myself dealing with the insurance company of the party whom was responsible for the wreck. At first this seemed to go fine and it looked as if all of our medical bills would be taken care of without needing to involve an attorney. Then the insurance company stopped communicating with us and there we were, stuck with outstanding medical bills. I realized I needed at least some advice from an attorney so I decided to call Michael Phillips. Over the course of our conversation, I realized that I needed more than just his advice, I really needed his help. He understood how things worked in these cases in a way that I did not. In the end, my husband and I decided that hiring Michael was the best possible choice. This choice took the stress off of us. Michael did everything we didn't know how to and the results were much better than if we had continued trying to resolve matters on our own. We couldn't be happier that we hired him! He is efficient, experienced, knowledgeable, and he was able to explain things in a way that my husband and I could understand. It did not matter that his practice was in Central Arkansas and we were 2 hours away in Northeast Arkansas. Michael was able to serve us and do everything a Northeast Arkansas Attorney could do. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Michael! Our experience with him as our attorney has been great.

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.

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!

Todd C. Watson was an excellent choice for a lawyer to handle our legal need of transferring the property deed of our mother's house to us (her children) following her death. He spent time explaining all the legal matters in a way that were easy to understand. He was prompt in returning our calls. He was expedient in handling the deed transfer for us. His price was competitive with that in the market. Todd quoted us a price and delivered the legal service we requested for that price.
Thank You Todd for providing us with friendly, knowledgeable and quality legal services.

Don was successful at removing a mechanic’s lien on my home and evading litigation in a lawsuit brought against me by a residential contractor and his lawyer. Construction law is confusing and Don demonstrated expertise in that area as he left no page unturned and addressed every accusation filed against me (which were several) with swift, aggressive and thorough responses. Don’s dedication to my case was a humbling experience; he spent late nights and weekends collecting pertinent information to cover all bases, and in the end, it all worked to my favor, as I didn’t have to pay the opposing party a single penny. Don fought for my home as if it were his own and I will always be grateful that he took up my case.

Mr. Christopher Nanos has provided efficient and well explained analysis of my legal topics. I have seen Mr. Nano's provide both "quick turn" and longer term analyses of legal issues. In my case, the legal issues ranged from Contracts to LLC optimization, from Benefits to State Regulations. Mr. Nanos has a well balanced approach. His guidance to me has been practical, incisive, discrete, and well rounded. His balanced approach proves him to be an expert. Christopher Nanos has been exemplar in putting my interests first. I have worked with several lawyers throughout my life. Some did not put my interests first. Mr. Nanos is above that. I remain confident and impressed with his "client" first commitment. I count on Christopher for top notch lawyering. I recommend him to others for the same.

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!

Kenneth has represented my company and me personally in a number of legal matters over the last five years. He worked tirelessly to settle these matters but was at all times ready to take each to court to protect our interest. His easy going personality goes a long way with other attorneys in finding equatible way to settle legal matters. His business background is also a plus and his ethics are beyond reproach.

Chris Bryant represented me recently on a public intoxication & speeding charge. This was my first exposure to the criminal court system & Chris made the experience as painless as it possibly could have been. His communication with me throughout the process was consistent and informative. Chris displayed great skill in the courtroom and his rates were extremely reasonable. I credit Chris for the favorable outcome of my case and highly recommend him if you are in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Brandon Moffitt was my attorney over the course of about a year. He solved several issues for me related to a complicated probate case . Several attorneys were involved and I was in over my head legally. He was my primary contact and counselor regarding contracts, property settlement, will writing, gas and oil rights....everything that "came up". He resolved conflict between family members and prevented disputes during a difficult time.
He is a calming, professional person, willing and capable of putting out fires. He stayed with my case until probate ended and the issues I had were resolved enough to proceed without an attorney. In other words, he saw things through and made them better while saving time and money.
His fees are more than fair and he was careful about never overcharging. He often answered the telephone personally and if not, always returned calls promptly. If you've ever hired an attorney, you know how rare it is to have an open line of communication. I appreciate that most of all. I would hire him again with confidence. If you want personalized, professional, timely attention along with resolution of a legal problem, you want Brandon Moffitt.

BKM has the best traits of two generations of attorneys. He has a very modern office with some of the best legal software resources at his disposal. He leverages his skill with technology to get things done very fast - without taking any 'shortcuts'. That said, BKM is not just another attorney with a smart phone, he is also old-school connected with the chamber, the bar association and other legal associations. This is a unique and awesome combination! I have often found that if BKM doesn't know the answer- he knows where to get it from. If you are paying by the hour- this helps keep the price down, and if you are paying for a fixed-fee;

A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:
- Contract drafting and review: Ensuring that purchase agreements, leases, and other contracts are legally binding, fair, and protect your interests.

How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?
Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:
- Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
- Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fees: In rare cases, such as property disputes or claims for damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing legal support, some clients may pay a retainer, which is an upfront fee used as a deposit for future legal services.
It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:

Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.

Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:
-
What experience do you have with real estate law?
Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on. -
How long will the process take?
Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last. -
Have you handled cases similar to mine?
Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case. -
Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities. -
Can you provide references?
Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.
How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:
- Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
- Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
- Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:
- Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
- A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
- Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
- Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
- Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
