While I am a Public Defender in the 5th Judicial Circuit of Arkansas, I take private cases from all over Arkansas. Each case, whether private or public defender, deserves and receives the same thoughtful and deliberate consideration. I am not afraid to take a case to trial if that will bring justice to my client. My public defender work has provided me with tremendous opportunity for experience in many different types of criminal cases and with the contacts and reputation necessary to provide a strong, competent defense for my clients. I am primarily assigned to Johnson County felony cases as a public defender. Most of my private criminal defense cases come from Pope and the surrounding counties, but I have worked cases in places such as Baxter, Van Buren, Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, Logan, Yell, Faulkner, Conway, and Perry counties, as well.
One of my passions is smoking up the best pork, ribs, and brisket you'll ever taste in your life, and, as you can see, talking about it whenever possible.

If you are innocent of a crime and know it, then Sam Ea is NOT the attorney for you. Eastman is a member of the majority of Defense Attorneys that make their living helping the criminal prosecutors get convections the easy way. Like Sam Eastman, these pseudo defense lawyers started their careers work...
Without rebutting all of the mischaracterizations alleged, I believe the results of your case will speak for themselves. There was never a conviction. There was never even a guilty plea entered. You were never on probation. Rather, with your agreement, I was able to persuade the prosecutor and the court to take your case under advisement, without a plea of any kind, and without probation, and then ultimately dismissed it without there having been a conviction or probation or fine or costs. You did not have to pay the court anything. You never had to report to a probation officer. You were satisfied with that result at the time. I did not propose dissolving the remaining fee in any attempt to persuade you to take a deal. Rather, it was done at your request to help you with your financial situation. You are now misremembering, and therefore mischaracterizing, the representation that you received. I am sorry that you cannot see the successful disposition of your case. I do sincerely wish you well.
"Mr. Eastman has a firm grasp of the methods, strategies, tactics, and realities facing those involved in a family law case in Arkansas. It is with great pleasure that I endorse this lawyer."
"Sam Eastman is extremely hard working and conscientious. Mr. Eastman is knowledgeable in the law and pays great attention to detail in every case. I have personally referred family and friends to Sam. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Eastman is an honest, upstanding attorney whom I greatly respect. He is kind and realistic in his approach. I value his opinions."
"I can heartily endorse Sam Eastman. He cares about his clients, he is willing to put in the extra work to research his cases, and he has a good network of other attorneys from whom to gain insight into more complicated issues. In the areas of family law and general practice, I would recommend him, and I have recommended him as counsel for co-defendants in some of my criminal cases."
