When I hired Steve Harrelson, I feel like I hired someone to really look after me. Since our case concluded successfully, he has stayed in contact with me to make sure I'm doing okay.
Attorney Steven Harrelson is humble to say the least. Not only is he a great attorney, he was the House Majority Leader, former Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and former Arkansas Senator. I was involved in a child custody case and Steven did more than expected to make sure I retained sole custody of my daughter.
Why did I become a lawyer? I chose law with the intent to bring justice to a broken world, to vindicate the rights of the weak, vulnerable and oppressed, and to confirm that justice is blind, ensuring equality to all people. To me, the law is a calling because I approach it as a way of serving others.
I'm proud to be a veteran trial lawyer with offices in Little Rock and Texarkana. I am licensed to practice law in Arkansas, Lousiana, and Texas.

The best
Was in a bad car accident, out of work for six months. Mr. Harrelson helped me get compensated for my injuries and helped me get my life back on track.

Prepared and responsive
Steve lways responded to every email, text, and phone call I made to him. In our two court appearances, he was overprepared, and he was great on his feet. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone in need.

Detail-oriented and focused lawyer
When we first sat down with Steve, he helped us create a plan, and he stuck with the plan until the case was over. He sent us updates and called when something important came up. We are glad we hired him and will again if the need ever arises.

Excellent!
Steve did a great job for our son on his case. He kept us informed, stayed on top of the case, and he went above and beyond. We heard he was the go to lawyer, and we are glad that we hired him.

Great Lawyer
Steve handled my insurance claim for injury for me, and this lawyer cares. He put the pressure on and kept it on until the case settled. I will hire him again if I ever need to.

Big Settlement
Steve got on my case right after I hired him and did not let up until we got it settled. He worked hard, and I was glad to have him on my side.

Steve Harrelson is a Great Attorney!
Steve gave me his best thoughts on my case and his ability to win for me in a court of law. He listened to my suggestions and my questions and offered answers in a concise and clear manner. I was almost always successful in reaching him by phone or fax to discuss legal areas that I did not understand. Steve was patient, compassionate and competent. In the court room he was effective and articulate in explaining my case to the jurors. Under cross examination of the state's witnesses, he was particularly good in getting the answers that he needed. I was happy with the outcome and with his handling of my case.

The worst
Do not use this guy all he does is ask you for money and do nothing but make everything worse for you. I wouldn’t hire him to service my dog. He didn’t turn in evidence, doesn’t answer the phone, lies to you and than doesn’t show up to anything.

Do not use him
He led me on for months telling me he had filed my case with the court. Couldn't ever get him to send me proof that he filed it, so I checked with the court and my case is no where to be found. He wasted time that I did not have.

Warning
Worst lawyer ever, in my opinion. Never returns calls, showed up at every court date late and unprepared and on top of that he loses. Paid this guy $10,000 and he wouldn't even file motions in a timely manner. It took Harrelson a year to file 1 simple jurisdiction motion which he never got before the judge. Then at the critical juncture of my case he threatened to quit if I didn't pay him more money. Felt like blackmail to me. He also threatened to quit when I asked for a status update on my case. He did eventually quit after a year of doing absolutely nothing on my case. I would really recommend using s different lawyer.He is one of the individuals directly responsible for this happening to my child

Due to the anonymous nature of the post I have no way of reaching you. I don’t believe you were a client, since our firm policy would be inconsistent with the allegation that a phone call wasn't returned the same day, but please give me a call and we can resolve the issue.
