  • Arkansas Estate and Trust Litigation Attorney


    A properly drafted will or trust should clearly identify all beneficiaries and leave no ambiguity surrounding the intentions of the decedent.  Unfortunately, some estate planning documents, whether wills or trusts, do not always clearly reflect the intentions of the decedent.  Even if the language of the documents is clear, some parties may have other reasons to initiate a lawsuit or object to a will or trust.


    When someone with standing objects to a will or a trust, a decedent’s estate plan might have to be tested and litigated.  This is sometimes referred to as a “will or trust contest.”  These disputes can be complex and should be navigated by attorneys with expertise in such matters, including an intimate knowledge of probate court rules and procedures.


    Without the guidance of an estate litigation attorney, the web of rules involved in the process can be overwhelming and lead to serious errors or even the forfeiture of one’s rights.  Whether you are an executor, trustee, beneficiary or someone improperly left out of a will, contact our estate litigation attorneys to discuss your options.

    When starting a business, entrepreneurs must consider countless issues; how should the business be structured; where should it be located; who should be hired?  Rarely, however, is the, prospect of litigious conflict with clients or colleagues considered and addressed until it is too late.  Having an experienced business dispute attorney on your side in the face of conflict may, however, significantly reduce your company’s exposure to liability or decrease thereby decreasing the probability of dissolution or an unwanted merger.  Whether you are just starting your business or are a decades-old owner of a family business, our firm can provide knowledgeable legal counsel to assist you with the gamut of corporate conflicts that can, and often do, arise on a regular basis.


    There are a number of business disputes, both foreseen and unexpected, that give rise to the need for legal counsel.  Our primary objective in resolving conflict on behalf of our clients is to arrive at a solution benefiting all sides while avoiding the need to engage in costly discovery and an eventual trial.  Our corporate dispute lawyers are adept at handling the sensitive and fact-intensive negotiations process and will work tirelessly to settle your dispute without judicial intervention.  Of course, when the possibility of a negotiated settlement proves impossible or unworkable in light of the facts of the dispute, our attorneys will use their knowledge of civil procedure and entity law to zealously advocate your position in a court of law.


    Corporate disputes can vary from simple breach of contract claims to multi-million dollar allegations of fraud and misconduct.  Our experienced business dispute attorneys routinely handle many of the following areas of commercial disagreement:

    • Contract Disputes: If you are in a disagreement with an employee, customer or colleague about a provision of a contract, our firm can help negotiate a mutual agreement to benefit both sides. Disputes commonly arise in contracts for the sale and delivery of goods, employment or partnership agreements, insurance policies, non-compete clauses or commercial leases.
    • Shareholder or Partnership Disputes: Conflict between corporate governance and shareholders is not uncommon. As well, partners often face disagreement over governing policies or corporate direction. Our legal team can help resolve shareholder and partnership issues to give your company the opportunity to move forward in a positive direction.
    • Disputes with Other Companies: Litigation often arises when a customer or client is dissatisfied with a company’s product or services, including disputes with suppliers, vendors or manufacturers. Working with our firm can significantly reduce your exposure to liability and help both parties maintain their corporate relationship and mutual trust.
    • Government Compliance: At one time or another, every company is faced with questions or issues stemming from regulations imposed by a governmental entity. Whether you have non-complex IRS compliance concerns or are unsure of how SEC regulations affect your company, our attorneys can help you understand the laws and to follow state and federal corporate rules.
    • Sales, Mergers or Acquisitions: Corporate restructuring can involve multiple areas of law from government compliance to shareholder liability. If your company is considering a sale, merger or acquisition, contact one of our knowledgeable corporate attorneys to discuss the proposed transaction and avoid a dispute before one arises.

  • Arkansas Real Estate Litigation Attorney

    The process of buying, selling or developing real property is one of the most complex areas of the law as this involves old common law and modern secured transactions as well as lending regulations. If you are a buyer, seller or land developer embroiled in a real estate dispute or would like to take precautions to avoid conflict, our real estate litigation attorneys can work with you to ensure your money and property rights are adequately protected against adverse parties and claims.


    On paper, purchasing real estate seems like a relatively straightforward transaction: make an offer, wait for acceptance, draft a contract, settle the deal and exchange the money. However, each step of the purchase process represents a potential point of disagreement or misunderstanding. Our real estate litigation attorneys are adept at handling any problems that arise in the sale or purchase of a residence or other real property, including:

    • Disputes occurring in the drafting and execution of a purchase contract;
    • Handling a rescission or misrepresentation by the buyer or seller;
    • Problems with the title or survey;
    • State and local regulations, including compliance with zoning ordinances;
    • Issues with a mortgage lender;
    • Disagreements involving new home construction and implied or express warranties.

    Whether you are a seller with misgivings about the purchase contract, a buyer with questions about title or a developer in a dispute with your current owners, working with a real estate litigation attorney is the best way to avoid and overcome conflict in a cost-effective manner.


    In the context of residential real estate, our attorneys can handle even the most unusual of problems. For instance, some buyers have run into complications with government entities over land use, requiring a land use appeal. Instead of facing the land use appeals board on your own, an attorney can present your case and argue why your planned development or historical designation is within the municipal zoning laws.


    We are similarly skilled in reviewing the results of a title search and taking appropriate action to clear clouds on your title. A cloud on a title is a term referring to a potential claim or interest of another party, which can result in the inability of a buyer or seller to settle the purchase contract. More specifically, banks and lending institutions will generally not lend money for the purchase of a home if there appears to be an apparent cloud on the title. By working with a real estate litigation attorney, you can avoid or settle problems with adverse possessors, boundary line encroachments, or creditors with judgments attached to the land.


    In order to escape the many lurking pitfalls inherent in real estate transactions, we encourage you to contact our real estate attorneys for more information or to schedule a consultation.
