Helping Arkansans for over 30 years
How can I help you? I’ve worn many hats over the years…
Attorney
I’ve been practicing law since 1992, and have helped both businesses and individuals.
Pastor
I am the Pastor at Maddox Road Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Arkansas
Technology / Entrepreneur
I usually have two or three side hustles going on, usually involving technology.
Areas of practice as an attorney
Adoption
I handle all types of adoptions, including stepparent adoptions, adult adoptions, and infant adoptions. Click the link below to be directed to my Arkansas Adoption Attorney website.
Estate Planning
Who decides what happens to your property when you die? You do, if you have planned ahead. Nobody likes to think about dying, but estate planning is definitely one of those areas where “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”
It might be that all you need is a simple will. Or you might want to establish a living trust so that your family can avoid probate altogether. Each case is different. Schedule a free consultation so we can talk about what you need.
Probate Administration
A will tells the world how you would like your property to be distributed when you die. However, the will doesn’t “do” any of the transfers. To actually transfer property to the people you listed in your will, the will must be “probated” in Circuit Court. Notice must be given to all heirs and creditors, an ad must be put in the newspaper, and the Court then determines what bills must be paid and how the property should be distributed.
This is called “probate administration” and we can help you with that. The same rules apply when someone dies without a will.
Pastoring
Maddox Road Baptist Church
My dorm mother at U.C.A. gave me a book called “The Law above the Law” when I went to law school. It was about the law of God and to be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time . . . . or for years after I got out of law school.
But the Lord has ways of getting our attention! Once my wife and I started having kids, we thought we needed to start going to church because “it was good for the kids.” Well, it was good for me, because it opened my eyes to who God is. Flash forward about ten years and I was licensed to preach by Second Baptist Church in Jacksonville in 2014. I was called as Pastor at Maddox Road Baptist Church on March 31, 2019 where I still serve today.
Helping people with their legal issues is great. But can I help you with your relationship with God? Do you know that there is only one way of salvation? The world will tell you all roads lead to heaven but that’s a lie of the devil. Jesus said I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6.
If you live in Jacksonville, I’d love to have you join us at Maddox Road Baptist Church.
