FAQ
Straight Answers to Common Questions
No. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. You can politely decline to answer questions until you have spoken with a lawyer. Statements made without legal guidance can be used against you, even when you are trying to be helpful.
We defend people accused of crimes such as theft, assault, and DUI, as well as more serious accusations. If your charge is not listed here, call or text (479) 769-1505 and we will let you know whether we can help.
In both states, the guiding standard is the best interest of the child. Arkansas law also presumes that joint custody is in a child's best interest in original divorce and paternity cases, although that presumption can be overcome with evidence. A lawyer can explain how these rules apply to your family.
Often, yes, but you generally need to show a significant change in circumstances and that the change serves the child's best interest. Following your current order and documenting changes is important. Contact us to discuss whether modifying your order makes sense.
Deadlines are set by state law and are strict. In Arkansas, the general deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit is three years from the date of the wreck. In Oklahoma, it is generally two years. Exceptions exist, and insurance claims can have much shorter reporting windows, so contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
You may still be able to recover compensation. Arkansas and Oklahoma both use modified comparative fault rules, which means your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame, and a high enough share of fault can bar recovery altogether. Fault is often disputed, so having a lawyer review the evidence early matters.
