About Valerie
Biography
I have been an attorney for approximately 24 years. I was first licensed to practice in Alabama in 1990. In 2012, I received my license to practice in Arkansas. My practice is general in nature, meaning that I work for clients in the fields of domestic relations, criminal defense, dependency/neglect, juvenile delinquency, civil litigation (personal injury, medical malpractice, employment law, civil rights matters), Probate Matters and Appellate work.
My relocation to Arkansas does not mean that I have abandoned my business in Alabama. Working with WMDR (the law firm of Wallace, Martin, Duke and Russell, PLLC), I have the flexibility to work between states.
