Looking for a Lawyer? Look no further. Mr. Joel Price is all the Lawyer you will ever need.

I was referred to Joel Price by multiple people after finding out I was being investigated in a criminal case. I hired him before a warrant for my arrest was issued. Mr. Price was immediately on top of things. Mr. Price is a very straight forward person which is something that I not only appreciat...e but admire about a person. We had several meetings to sort through all the information I provided and what the investigators provided. I would ask him questions about laws and he would turn around in his chair, grab a law book, flip to the correct page and show me the answer all within just a very few short minutes. I have never seen someone know that much about the law until meeting Mr. Joel Price. Mr. Price always made sure that I have a copy of every letter that was either sent to or from him. I never felt left out of the loop and was always made aware of what Mr. Price was doing in my case. Of course I can not leave out Mr. Price's assistant, Lynsey. She was always helpful in keeping me on track with meeting dates, court dates, letters, etc.. Mr. Price and Lynsey make a great team and definitely made me feel comfortable even with me having a criminal charges filed against me. Mr. Price taught me a lot about the law going through this whole process. Because of Mr. Price, I am not in prison, still have my kids, got my felony charge changed to a little misdemeanor charge that will be expunged from my record in a year, and won my second court case. I would recommend Mr. Joel Price to anyone and will continue to use Mr. Price in the future.

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!
