Dedicated to quality legal representation in nursing home and healthcare matters.

When lives have been lost, harms and losses sustained, and unfair advantage taken, every person has the right to make the careless parties who caused them to accept responsibility. Mr. O’Quinn will personally prosecute your case and help you through the process of recovering for the harms and losses caused to you and your loved ones.
Mr. O’Quinn, who is also a pharmacist, began his legal career with a practice that emphasized the defense of doctors, hospitals, nurses, pharmacists, nursing homes, and insurers.

In his free time, Mr. O’Quinn trains for and runs marathons. He has also been appointed as a Special Justice to the Arkansas Supreme Court and as a special judge to other courts throughout Arkansas.
