He is admitted to practice in Arkansas and has credentials to appear in the United States District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Arkansas. He is likewise admitted in the Eighth Circuit and to the bar of the U.S. highest court. Those admissions allow him to manage things that pass past the state degree and into federal trial and appellate venues.

Over the years his portfolio has covered public protection work, matters tied to actual estate and general litigation in state and federal forums.
