About Us

We always fight to win.

We aren’t generational lawyers who entered the field to follow in family footsteps. At Thompson & Howle, we pursued careers in law because we developed a passion for it inspired by our lived experiences. With our unique perspectives and combined expertise, our firm was founded to fight for the rights of Arkansans – and win.

Our mission is to represent our clients with the highest degree of care and competence. We will use all dispute resolution tools necessary to tell our client’s story and move them into life’s next chapter.
