Licensed in 1985 and experienced in all types of legal proceedings from document preparation through jury trials and appeals. Not your typical lawyer, because I work without a secretary and make house calls when necessary. I accept a limited number of cases so that I can get your work done quickly and at a very low lump sum rate.

I imagine right now you are surprised to be reading this. You didn't think you would be here. Divorce is something that happens to other people, not to you. Your marriage was never perfect, but let's be honest - who has a perfect marriage? Things were never perfect, but you could live with the imperfections. For a while.

Then the imperfections grew. They grew to the point that they were major problems. Problems that were unfortunately unfixable. Now you need help and you don't know where to turn.

Well, you have arrived at the...

I became a lawyer later in life after experiencing first hand as a single mother and business owner how helpless one can feel in a judicial system that seems out of reach to all but those with endless resources.

Law was a natural fit for Steve’s competitive nature. He likes to win, he likes structure and he believes in the system. His practice began in Little Rock in the early 90’s and over his 15 years there, he steadily gravitated to more and more family law. When the chance came to relocate to NW Arkansas in the fall of 2007, his wife, June, and his children Alex and Emily helped him close his private practice and he moved into our family law division, focusing exclusively on helping families in this difficult area.

Dealing with family law issues?

Family law generally concerns domestic relations and family-related matters such as marriage, civil unions, domestic partnerships, adoptions, paternity, guardianships, domestic abuse, surrogacy, child custody, child abduction, the dissolution of marriage and associated issues. Each state has its own set of family laws, and traveling across state borders can sometimes affect your rights and those of your family.

Contrary to popular belief, seeking the advice of a family law attorney does not necessarily mean that something is amiss in your family. A family law attorney can help negotiate prenuptial/premarital agreements for clients in anticipation of marriage or advise same-sex couples on relevant legal issues affecting their relationship. They also can help with adoption proceedings and other procedures involving children.

Family law attorneys often do represent clients seeking a divorce, annulment or legal separation, and the complicated issues that can arise as a result. Although domestic abuse is a criminal offense, some family law attorneys are skilled at handling these situations, as they are often entangled with other family law issues.

Some jurisdictions certify lawyers as family law specialists, which means these attorneys have met the certifying body's minimum requirements for education, experience, and examination.

No-Fault Proceeding: A civil case in which parties may resolve their dispute without a formal finding of error or fault.

Paternity Suit: A lawsuit to determine the father of a child whose parents were not married when the child was born.
