Outstanding

Not every case needs a GUNSLINGER, but sometimes you just do. I have more than 30 years experience in the criminal justice system and generally do not like lawyers, probably like most people. That changes when you need one. She is an excellent litigator and I recommend her hands down ten out of te...n times. She won't answer the phone when you need a lawyer hug, but when it comes down to the heart of the matter and needing someone on your side and in your corner that can get it done, she's your Huckleberry. If you need a chihuahua, I know a guy in Conway. If you need a real deal lawyer, her number is attached to this review. Call her.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Outstanding attorney. Cecily's ability and persistence is incredible. She sees the big picture of a family law case. She always considers the children in these volatile cases. And she aggressively represents her clients. She knows all the issues in family law and after almost two decades of battling in most of the Arkansas Courts is well-respected by her peers, judges, and hundreds of clients. I regularly send clients to her."
