This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Knowledge of Arkansas Law.

I've had an opportunity to visit with Mr Ethridge on several occasions on several different legal issues. I find him well versed on all topics of law in the state of Arkansas.

Thankful

Mr. Ethridge has proven to us a very busy man , yet has shown us that his clients are always on his mind and his job. At first we had our doubts as he is difficult to touch base. We've learned since that a good lawyer is busy and that we are not the only people he is helping. We literally had no conv...ersation with him upon the pretrial. Once we arrived he had total control and knew exactly what was up . Seeing how we were able to finally gather the funds only a couple weeks before the pretrial and found him through high recommendation he knew exactly what to do and handled it well. We seen a man in control with absolutley no sign of lack of confidence. Facing 3 life sentences and being totally innocent we tend to be freaking out of the unknown. It's easy to ask why my attorney does not comfort me. The attorneys job is not to comfort it's to gather the facts and put them to work and Shane after the pretrial, gave us time to worry about us and let him worry about shedding light on the truth. His demeanor alone showed us that this man cares and we know that if he was not able to get this done nobody could. It's a relief to have found a lawyer that's not a fast talking , silver tongue that only cares if the check clears. Thank you Mr. Ethridge.

Update: The charge was dismissed. Mr. Webb, as we talked about at your last court appearance I am fully versed in the facts of your case. And, more importantly, we don't have trial in two weeks. We have an omnibus hearing to make sure there are no issues before a trial gets set. It will show that on the pink sheet of paper you were given at your last court date. Please feel free to set an appointment to come in and discuss any issues that you might have before that date. And when this matter is fully resolved I hope you'll update your review of my services.
