Fair, honest, and dedicated!

I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran, not always easy to handle. Joel Price and I met by chance. He was extremely respectful and very aware of me being a Veteran. He spoke to me very honestly and openly, even sharing that his father was a Navy Veteran. I felt extremely comfortable with Joel and was ab...le to open up to him with an old issue that has bothered me for years, but I was too ashamed to do anything about. After finding out the details of my past, Joel volunteered to take care of what I felt was my shameful past, and offered to do a "Petition to Seal". After Joel obtained copies of my incident, he explained to me that I was not a bad person, the circumstances played out as they did, but today is another day and we can ask the Court to seal that from my past and return my Court Honor. I could not believe this blessing. I was always taught by my grandfather, a man only has his word, and if he looses his word, he is no longer a man. I have lived by this all my life. Joel made it possible for me to hold my head up high once again and not feel ashamed of my past, even though it was not as bad as I had made myself feel over it. As a result, I tell all my friends, especially Veterans, about Joel Price. Unlike other attorney's in town who only think about the bottom dollar, Joel looks at the entire situation and does what is best for potential clients, clients, and friends. He respects all who come through his doors and always explains fully the situation and what is possible, and what is not possible. Joel also volunteered for years in helping Homeless Veterans. His family history and his dedication is obvious in his actions. I never hesitate to call upon Joel Price. I know he will always tell me the truth and how to handle my situation.

Response... Great experience and 100% knowledgeable!

I'm unsure who the first two "reviews" are referring to, because ttorney Joel Price has been in practice for over 34 years and has been an excellent source of information and help to me and my family. My only regret is that my mother didn't use him during her divorce. I can't speak for his secretar...y; she is only the messenger and is not here to defend herself. I can say that, in my experience in retail and customer service of 20 years, when someone attacks another person, it's because they're guilty of their own demise. Mr. Price has been a shining example of studious lawyering, and he is one of the best Constitutional lawyers in Arkansas, if not in the U.S.! Mr. Price deals with cases on an appeals level, in higher courts, and I've known him to spend hours upon hours reviewing, learning, and putting together volumes of paperwork for his appellate clients. On the same note, I have seen Mr. Price spend hours upon hours helping couples who are unable to have biological children of their own, proceed with adoptions and those same parents refuse to pay him for his work. So, attacking a man of good heart and character because you've lied, because you've refused to pay a bill, and because you screwed up your case, goes unjustified. It should also be noted that Mr. Price was the driving force behind "Linder vs. Linder", regarding grandparental visitation act. Instead of attacking because you owe money and refuse to pay, and because you're looking for someone to blame but yourself, try looking at Mr. Price's history as an excellent lawyer and 100% knowledgeable!
