If you have a CDL Luis and George is a life saver

I cant explain in words how they saved my life, career and gave me a second chance if it was not for this team I probably wouldnt even have a regular drivers license. They got a wreckless driving charged dropped to something considerably lower if it wasnt for them I couldnt even set foot in a truck.

Litigator of the year for a reason

Birc Morledge was recently recognized in Arkansas as litigator of the year. My experience involved a Class A misdemeanor which by comparison pales in severity to many of his cases I am sure. My situation was tremendously serious to me, and Birc treated it that way. he and his staff responded to my... calls, texts, and emails promptly. They provided me reassurance, confidence but honesty as well. I had the best outcome possible, and it was a direct result of Birc and his teams's professionalism. I can recommend him unequivocally to anyone needing representation for any charge-no matter the gravity.

Life Saver

I was hit with life-destroying false allegations. I was being attacked on all sides and had no one to turn to, no one to talk to and nowhere to go. Helpless and alone, I thought my life was over - until that fateful night when I called Birc. It was just past midnight when I called him, an emotional m...ess. Since it was past midnight, I was expecting to leave a voicemail, but he answered the phone. I had never been in trouble before and never in my entire life had I needed the services of a criminal defense attorney. Birc and I did not know each other, but I quickly discovered that didn't matter. Even though I was a mess, he was the calm within the storm. Confident and assertive, he explained everything on the front end, gave me advice on my next steps and we set up a meeting the next day. When I arrived for our meeting, he and his staff had already started working on it. This nightmare lasted a whole year, and even though at times I felt like giving up, he and his staff never stopped fighting. They turned over every rock, every stone, and poured through everything. Birc kept me updated every step of the way, and often served as my emotional rock. He was so adamant in my defense, I felt as if I was being defended by my own family. In the end, not only was I completed exonerated - I was redeemed. We all hope we never need the services of a criminal defense attorney. But if you find yourself needing to make that call, call the guy who will take it all the way to the mat, who will stand in front of you - not behind you - and will never give up. Call Birc. To Birc, Will, Jason, Sam and Kim - I will never be able to thank you enough.

Excellent Defense Lawyer - THE BEST!!!!

My daughter made one bad decision that could have haunted her the rest of her life. She had never been in trouble before and hasn't since, but her one decision placed her in jeopardy of losing some of her future freedoms and potential jail time. Birc knew how to approach the situation. He laid out a ...well thought out plan and guided us through executing the plan. In the end, my daughter was able to get her life and future back. I highly recommend Birc to anyone needing a top notch defense attorney. If you follow his three rules, you will be in very capable, knowledgeable and experienced hands that will guide you through the process.

The best in Arkansas

Last year my son got in some trouble and I was looking for an attorney so he can turn himself in. I contacted Birc and he advised me on what to do before I even retained him. During the court process Birc was always hands on and kept me informed of everything that was going on due to me living in a t...otally different state. My son was facing life in jail without the possibility of parole or the death penalty, Birc made it where my son only has to do 8 years...8 YEARS! I’m forever indebted to him and his team for everything they have done for my son and I and providing I ever need an attorney again, I won’t hesitate to contact Birc. He didn’t treat us like a client, he treated us like family and that’s what you want from an attorney. After my sons sentencing he went up to the jail to see him and informed him about the many programs he can get into to help with his time and at the end of the visit he gave my son a big hug. My family loves him and I know he loves us.
