I started practicing law in 1982.
Starting the first day I began practicing law, I’ve been asked: “What’s your success rate?” Tough question? Not really. My success rate is far above most. And its all about one thing: Preparation. Preparation makes a bad lawyer good, a good lawyer great and a great lawyer greater. I been the lead attorney on cases that have been in the national news: United States v. Celani was featured on ABC’s 20/20 and mentioned in the New Yorker magazine; Coleman v. Watt a lawsuit filed in federal court against a city judge who ordered the police to impound a car if the license plate was expired was featured on the Phil Donahue Show. In State of Arkansas v. Kelvin Meeks was featured on the television magazine Hardcopy.
I fight hard for my clients…never too hard, there’s no such thing. For over 30 years, I have battled with law enforcement officers, only to turn around and represent them when they are in trouble. And I do it within the bounds of the law and in a professional manner. (Although I might have gone too far when I was quoted in the newspaper as saying, “There’s a criminal element in the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department”. And then there was the time I represented the first female sergeant with the North Little Rock Police Department. She was charged with perjury and that was later dismissed. Afterwards, when I sued the police department in federal court I was quoted as saying, “She’s gonna own a fleet of police cars when this is over.”).

A caution means that an attorney did something wrong, but may still practice law. The attorney was cautioned in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
Gregory’s comment: “A technical violation, missed deadline to file document with appellate court.”

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

I endorse this lawyer. I met Greg Bryant in court one morning, which I believe was fairly early in my law practice. He knew my father who was a practicing attorney at the time. Greg had been practicing a while and was always pleasant and very helpful when I would seek his advise or want to discuss cases. He is an extremely smart and very capable lawyer. He works hard for his clients and always demonstrates professionalism and ability. Over the years we have had cases against each other, and have even worked together on a case or two. Greg is always prepared and informed, he knows the law and is no nonsense. He is excellent in the courtroom and always does well for his clients. Greg has been around a long time and he is respected by judges and lawyers statewide. He has always been one of the best in my opinion. He will always have my admiration and respect as an attorney.
