About William
Biography
I have been practicing business, estate and tax law, both planning and litigation, with this firm in my hometown of Fayetteville for over 30 years. I am honored and fortunate to have loyal clients and high peer approval. Peer Ratings include Martindale Hubbell "AV/5.0 Pre-eminent" since 1995; Best Lawyers in America, Trusts and Estates, since 2003; Mid-South Super Lawyers, Commercial Litigation, since 2006; Ten Best Business Lawyers in Arkansas, Arkansas Times Polls 2000 and 2005; and Arkansas Bar Association Outstanding Lawyer-Citizen, 2000.
Effective planning to keep my clients out of court and in business is my goal.
I have been drafting, administering and litigation wills, trusts, and estates for over 40 years.

Client Review
Jack is great to work with. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and very proficient. Jack has assisted me in setting up numerous business entities and has also been instrumental in my families estate planning. I feel very comfortable anytime Jack has reviewed a document and signed off on it.
