I am a former client of Drew's. I was arrested for a possession of controlled substance charge in 2012. I spent about two years in divert court or Drug Court that ended in termination resulting in the continuation of my case. I came to Drew with my case and asked him if he could help. The charge was ...a felony and the minimum amount of time in Prison was 9 months. I thought that there would be no way that I would not see the inside of a prison. Drew took my case and relentlessly worked with the judge to get my sentence from 9 months in prison to a 3 year probation term that also allowed me to return to my home state. Drew and the judge worked out a deal to a treatment facility for drug and alcohol addiction which saved my life. Drew went above and beyond as a lawyer and a human being. I was informed about the progress of the case every step of the way. He always called me personally to tell me what was happening. I was never judged, criticized, or met with intolerance. Drew treated me like a human being and is a huge factor in why I am sober today and receiving the help that I needed. Drew is a great lawyer, with a vast working knowledge of the law, as well as personal connections with officials in the city that can make a difference in your case. I truly owe Drew Ledbetter for the way that he handled my case which ultimately decided the fate of my future. If you have a case and you need help Drew is the right lawyer.

In April 2014 I got arrested for intent to deliver MDMA, intent to deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and simultaneous possession of drugs and guns. I meet with Drew a few days after I got arrested and he told me to expect 9 months of RPF or something along those lines but in July h...e got me off with only 5 years of probation and the gun charge dropped. I am more than happy with the service he provided.

Drew Ledbetter is honest, hardworking, compassionate and caring. He is also a fighter. The judges and prosecutors respect him. He is the best lawyer I have ever seen. Drew represented me on a Felony Possession of Drug Paraphernalia charge that I was arrested on in 2012, and two Felony Drug De...liveries that I was arrested on in 2013. We finished the cases on September 11, 2014. I started shopping for lawyers by asking a lawyer I knew who I should hire. She told me that Drew Ledbetter was the best criminal defense lawyer in the state. She said he was a hardcore trial lawyer and that he knew exactly what he was doing. My sister was going to be helping me pay for my lawyer so she and I interviewed Drew and several other lawyers. Drew was a little more expensive, but we both agreed that we thought he would do the best job. The two counts of Delivery of a Controlled Substance were both Class C Felonies which carry 3-10 years for most people. Because of my criminal history I was facing up to 30 years on each charge. I was also charged with several misdemeanors including DWI, Failure to Submit to Arrest, and Careless Driving. I knew I was in serious trouble. I am already considered a Super Habitual Felon in Arkansas. I had 6 felony prior offenses, all related to drugs. Those prior felonies were from over 10 years ago. I completed drug court in 2004 and had remained clean and sober until I got into this last round of trouble. Because of my priors I was facing 30 years on each drug delivery. We went to court together 15 times. Drew is the best lawyer I have ever seen. He knows his stuff. When he is in court he is in total control of the room. He treated me with kindness and compassion. He didn’t treat me like a drug dealer or a bad person. I could tell that he cared about me. He listened to me and was very thoughtful and understanding about my problems. Drew fought hard for me. He worked on my case for over a year. In the end the prosecutor would not offer me anything other than 4 years in prison with an additional 10 years suspended sentence to hang over my head when I got out. Drew and I decided to go to trial. Because of my criminal history Drew recommended we waive the jury and try the case straight to the Judge. When we were in trial I felt like things could not have gone any better. I was very nervous before trial. He prepared me to testify and got me ready. Once I was on the witness stand Drew kept me calm and walked me through all the questions. He was in total control. He did a great job with all the other witnesses. Every time the prosecutor made a point Drew cut her to pieces. He explained to the judge why the prosecutor had it wrong. The judge seemed undecided about what to do and reset my case 30 days so she take her time could make a decision . On the day of formal sentencing I was worried. I had all my faith in Drew, and I knew he had done a good job. But I also knew I was guilty and that there was a good chance I was going to prison that day. Drew had written a good legal brief to the court about the law and the facts of my case. The prosecutor argued to the court that I was a super habitual felon, that I had delivered drugs to a confidential informant, that I had committed new crimes while I was still on pretrial release, and that I deserved to go to prison. She was right about all of that. Drew fought back hard and explained to the judge that I did not deserve to go to prison. In the end the judge agreed with Drew and sentenced me to exactly what he asked for. She gave me a $1,000 fine plus $120 in court costs and left me on the probation that I was already on. I couldn’t be happier with Drew. He saved my life.
