About Bruce
Biography
My firm represents people and not insurance companies. I practice exclusively in the areas of personal injury, wrongful death and medical malpractice. I have many years of experience in helping people and families whose lives have been turned upside down as a result of injuries or the death of a loved one caused by the negligence of others. In 2018, my trial team was proud to help trucking crash victims obtain jury verdicts of $1,980,, $500, and $175,.
Some of the cases that I am most proud of have directly resulted in changes that have and will save lives. After a railroad crossing case early in my career, a local railroad company installed crossing guards at a dangerous crossing. My dram shop (illegal sale of alcohol) cases have caused liquor stores and bars throughout the state to establish strict procedures for checking IDs, preventing sales to minors and refusing to sell to intoxicated patrons. And, on more than one occasion, I have exposed seriously negligent trucking companies and health care providers and I believe those cases make us all safer. My hope is that throughout my career I will continue to help people obtain justice and keep our communities safe.

HIGHLY recommend
I was in a car accident back in September. I had insurance and the man that hit me from behind did as well, so that was a good start. Well, I tried to handle it all myself, but never getting hurt in a car accident that involved another motorist, I had no idea what I was doing. So because of that, it ...

Excellent lawyer
We hired Mr. Mulkey for an automobile accident injury. He was great at answering the phone himself, not his office staff. He would send emails often to keep us informed. Always listened to my husband with genuine concern. Definitely made us feel like he had our back and would continue until we ...

Bruce L. Mulkey's Lawyer Endorsements
"Bruce is a superior lawyer and pays attention to every detail in his cases. He has a proven record of obtaining great results for his clients. I endorse him with confidence."
"Without a doubt, there is no better attorney in northwest Arkansas than Bruce Mulkey. He combines the talents of meticulously mining each case for every detail with the ability to keep his eye on the big picture. This combination always yields great - GREAT - results for his clients. Of course, Bruce is also the utmost family man and very dedicated to his community. He devotes his time and talents to helping others, wether professionally or personally, in a way I only wish I could."
"Bruce is an incredibly intelligent and passionate attorney. He is a results driven professional who will stop at nothing for his clients."
"When you need the best, call Bruce. I can't endorse the man enough."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this talented and knowledgeable attorney, who is well-respected in the legal community."
"Bruce is an hard working and dedicated to helping clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Bruce is one of the most respected attorneys in the community. He is known for taking cases that make a difference, and because of that, the community is safer. I've visited Bruce's office on several occasions, and the dedication he exhibits toward providing top-notch representation for his clients was apparent the first time I set foot in his office. He was studying a medical book several inches thick, becoming an expert in an area of medicine so that he could better pursue a claim against a doctor who had injured one of his clients. This level of devotion is enviable, and it's this trait that makes me proud to call Bruce a colleague."
"Bruce is an excellent advocate for his clients who can present the most complicated case in a clear fashion that is easily understood. He's also one of the few lawyers I've seen succeed on a fraud case AND acquire punitive damages for his client. Even as opposing counsel, he is excellent to work with, having a great sense of humor but still never forgetting that he works for his client and will not go easy on opposing counsel just because they have a cordial relationship. I cannot recommend Bruce enough and am highly confident that you're hiring of him will be the first step towards your recovery."
"I first met Bruce in the law school student lounge, looking at the toe of his cowboy boot. He had accidently marked on it with an ink pen, and his brother-in-law had taken a rag with paint-thinner and tried to scrub the ink off. This left a big white spot on the toe of his new boot! Bruce simply made a joke about it. This is a wonderful example of Bruce’s kind, patient and generous nature—exactly what a personal injury client should be seeking in an attorney to help them through what will likely be one of the worst times of their life. When one has been injured, the most important trait to look for in a lawyer is their patience and compassion. When an attorney has those traits, the client can be confident their case will be handled with care, their phone calls returned, and their case will MATTER to that attorney. Bruce will fight like a tiger if needed. He is one of the few lawyers who will sue a doctor. I am glad to give a personal reference--John Holleman, 501.975.5040."
"Bruce has eye for detail and laser focus that is second to none. It only takes a minute of talking with Bruce to know that he loves what he does... and it shows in his work. I have and would recommend my own family and friends to Bruce with full confidence."
"Bruce is an exceptional lawyer; best known for his aggressive advocacy and tenacious representation. One ideal characteristic about Bruce’s practice is that he only accepts a few cases at one time and that allows him to give extraordinary attention to his select clients. All of Bruce’s cases are important and have an impact on the safety of the community. If more trial lawyers practiced like Bruce, the reputation of the lawyer would be as golden as the days of Atticus Finch."
"I endorse this lawyer's work with my whole heart. Bruce is one of the best attorneys I know. I have seen him crack cases with pure ingenuity and brilliance. If you want a guy that knows what he is doing and is nice while he does it, contact Bruce Mulkey."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I clerked for Bruce while in law school and admired his ethical and thorough approach to the practice of law. I consider him a stellar example of what a lawyer should be and try to emulate his approach to the practice of law each day. Joanne M. McCracken"
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Bruce is the best. I would retain Bruce for my legal problems without hesitation. Bruce treats his clients like he would want to be treated and as a result many of his clients become life long friends."
"An excellent and aggressive lawyer. When I needed a lawyer, he is the one that I hired."
