Best Attorney in town
Hiring Mr. Bennett was the best decision in my legal case. Highly recommended calling him for any dwi/dui situations.
Posted by Jenn | November 20, 2019 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI
Excellent representation
Mr Bennett represented me in my DWI case. I was not guilty and he was able to prove that. The day after my arrest he stayed late to meet with me after I got off work. His office staff is amazing and most helpful. Every time I called to ask a question he either answered the call or called back very qu...

Tommy Lee Bennett's Lawyer Endorsements
"Tommy’s record speaks for itself. He is an excellent attorney. I have no hesitation in endorsing him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Tommy. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Tommy and I have attended several DWI training sessions together over the years. He has always impressed me with his comprehension of Arkansas DWI law and his diligence in defending his clients. We practice in different areas of the state. When I have a client or friend with a DWI in the Central Arkansas area I always send them Tommy's way."
"Tommy and I worked together on a jury trial for a client charged with DWI. I have also seen him in action on a number of cases. At all times he displayed a level of commitment, knowledge, and aptitude in DWI cases that is rarely seen. I without hesitation endorse him."
"Tommy Bennett is the best DWI attorney I know in the state of Arkansas. There are a few others who are great, but none of them have the training and qualifications, as well as just the bulldog drive to fight DWIs that Tommy has. He and his partner are the only attorneys at present in the state who have been certified in DRE (Drug Recognition Evaluation or Expert) cases, and they are uniquely qualified to fight DWI-drugs cases. I handle criminal defense, but when it comes to DWI, Tommy is the person I refer my friends and family to. I highly endorse him."
"I have had the privilege to work with Attorney Bennett at advanced seminars related to DUI defense. Atty. Bennett possesses the unique knowledge and trial skills to effectively defend his clients. If you believe in your case then Atty. Bennett is your man."
"I met Tommy at a National DUI College training and then again at Gerry Spence's Trial College. Being a member/graduate of either of these select group of attorneys shows a tremendous committment to his profession and has to be acknowledged for the gift that it is to his clients. He sacrificed time from his family, practice and financial gain was clearly not why he has taken his level of training and experience to a level surpassed by few and possibly any in his state. If you want a lawyer that knows DUI/DWI law and defense inside and out and that has taken the time to develop his trial techniques to the 100th degree, this is the man/firm you need to retain; no if's, ands or buts!"
"Tommy Bennett's reputation precedes him! --I know him and I practice in Tennessee! -As a fellow DUI Defense Lawyer, Tommy recently provided me with some of the very best ideas of how to successfully defend a specific set of facts in many DUI cases. He has a vast knowledge base and his ideas on how to succesfully cross examine officers are truly remarkable! --So remarkable, that I have incorporated many of Tommy's ideas into my own practice. --If you want a true DUI defender, on your side. Hire Tommy Bennett. He is truly a dedicated and commmited lawyer, dedicated to fighting your case, --not pleading your case!"
"Tommy Bennett is THE lawyer you want if you get a DUI. Even as a criminal defense attorney in Washington State, I would call Tommy with any legal or technical questions surrounding DUI's. He has a wonderful outlook and sense of humor that make working with him an extremely enjoyable experience. Thank you for your consultation Tommy!!"
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I had the pleasure of meeting Tommy at an advanced trial training course. I did not know that a person could know as much about DUI/DWI as Tommy does. We live in different states, but many of our DUI/DWI issues are similar. He has helped me with several difficult and technical issues in this area of law. I consult with him often. You should to."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"Tommy is very dedicated to his clients. I would recommend him to any client."
