I am proud to have on my staff some of the best lawyers in the states of Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee; some of the best support personnel one could hope for; proud of the work we do suing drunk drivers and proud that we represent people, not insurance companies, who, without our taking percentage fees, probably would not be able to hire a lawyer. I am proud of our people’s practice.

Personal Biography:
My wife, Patricia, and I are happily married and have four children between us, Alexia, Brice, Kayce and Meggie. Sons-in-law are Matt Price and Beau Whetstone. Zelda guards the house.
Texarkana, Arkansas is where I was reared by my parents, Donna and Ronald Green. Sister Kimi Cox lives in Washington State. Brothers Clark Green and Ronnie Green live in Texarkana.
Readers of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette recently voted me “Best of the Best” Lawyer in Central Arkansas for 2012. This distinction really belongs to the entire office, a place full of people who do their best work day in and day out, and to our deserving clients.
In my spare time I fancy myself a farmer tending to a recently planted pecan grove and a vineyard. I’m also experimenting with an internet sales company, HeMan Tools. These pastimes allow me to think creatively and to better understand and communicate what my clients are going through. I do a little bird hunting and a little trout fishing. I walk for exercise and lately spend time developing the Woodglen Park subdivision which is down the street from our home in Little Rock.
A typical day for me begins at sun up and winds down with dinner at 7:00 p.m. I enjoy work and would work too much but for Patricia’s insistence from day one that I be at the dinner table by 7:00. That is a tradition which she instilled in me and our children – one that I very much appreciate and to which I attribute much of our success as a couple and a family.
What are a few things I have learned in over thirty years of practicing law? I was lucky early on to learn that if I earnestly try to help my clients, others will help me do that; that if I take care of my clients, they will take care of me. I know that clients who call on me have been knocked down and need help to get back, as much as possible, to where they were. Sometimes it is as easy as helping a little old lady cross the street, and sometimes it calls for all out war. I enjoy both. I have learned from mentor John Ward that to be successful one needs, most of the time, to be the first one to arrive at and the last one to leave the workplace. From mentor Miles Hale I learned that a people’s practice is an honorable calling. I learned from mentor Gary Eubanks that good lawyers advertise; that advertising works; that if you advertise and aren’t good at what you do and don’t take care of your clients, you soon will be out of business. I was taught by my parents and grandparents to follow the golden rule, and then by my law school professors and judges not to mention it!
