HE GAVE ME HOPE

Bric Morledge was there for me when I needed legal counsel in a hurry. I came to his office in distress. He was professional and courteous as I explained my legal trouble. Bric made sure that all my questions got answered in the consultation. Together we approached all angles that would best suit my... defense. He came up with several plans of defense depending upon the validity of the evidence in my case, i.e., the Motion of Discovery. Six months later, I met him at court at 8:55 am; he talked to the prosecutor for five minutes and got the charges dropped. We both walked out of the courtroom at 9:08 am. I highly advocate that you use this man as your attorney. I have never met a real Magician, but this guy can work magic!!

Simply the best!

I called Birc for a consultation on my case for allegations of Battery 2nd degree, Aggravated Robbery and Aggravated Residential Burglary. Upon doing so I was met with a kind and knowledgeable person that was quick to listen to any question I had and provided real answers and a practical ending to my... turmoil. Ultimately I felt he was the perfect choice after sitting and consulting with him and sure enough he was! I gave him my case and he made my possible life sentence of two class Y felonies and a class B felony get reduced down to a class A misdemeanor through litigation with the courts. In a time where I couldn't keep my head up he was there to keep me in high spirits and openly answer every phone call no matter how many times I called. With my two cents put in....if you want a decent attorney call someone else, but if you want the best call Birc Morledge. He is a life saver!!!! No pun intended!!!

DWI - 1st - 06.30.16

Mr. Morledge has been a thorough, articulate, and very knowledgeable lawyer in my DWI defense. He shoots straight forward tells you like it is and the procedural knowledge he has will keep you in line with Driver Control and the obligations they impose on you. Don't rely on here say or third party rh...etoric, they will lead you wrong get it from the source...Mr. Morledge

Excelent Attorny

Birc was amazing at his job! I was arrested for DWI and picked up parked in a parking lot. I hadn't been drinking that day except for one beer while I was out on my property work and when I was done I forgot in my truck, well I was given a new medication that I started later that evening. After I too...k it I went to the store and that's the last I remember until the next morning. Birc was able to get my doctor and other information need to explain to the judge what had happened and that I wasn't intoxicated but had had an adverse reaction the medication and in fact had a seizure and the was what happened. So we WON! Birc is extremely knowledgeable in what he does. I would refer him to anyone else that had an issue like this!

Posted by Brent | February 08, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Reckless driving ticket dropped!

My son received a speeding ticket (30 over) and reckless driving while passing a vehicle going just under the speed limit on a 2 lane highway as it was going down to a single lane. In Arkansas the reckless driving charges are a very hefty fine and can include 5 to 90 days in jail. We hired Birc Mor...eledge in the hopes to avoid the jail time and maybe reduce the impact on my sons driving record. Birc was very thorough in getting our side of the story, understanding exactly what happened, letting us know what the charges meant and what the penalties could be, gathering information on my sons character so he could paint a picture of a good kid who made a mistake in hopes of reducing the charges. Being out of state he kept us very informed of the steps he was taking and possible court dates, and ended up getting all charges dropped without having any probation and without us ever having to come to Arkansas for court. We were hoping for reduced charges and were ecstatic that the charges were completely removed and we didn't have to pay any fines or do anything else. We highly recommend Birc as a lawyer. He is very professional and thorough, and in our case far exceeded our expectations.
