An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You need to search for attorneys who handle Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) matters. You could try searching under ADA and civil rights law firms. You could check with the Arkansas Bar Association. Most... View More

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. Something is not clear, as your post mentions charges but is under Personal Injury and Civil Litigation. A criminal attorney should advise on anything involving the term "charges," but under civil... View More

They have to have reasonable suspicion to ruin the dog or they have to have another person running the dog while they continue writing you a traffic ticket

As a general rule of thumb, yes, the court for one county can serve the warrant for the other and arrest you (to allow the transfer). It does make a difference if the warrant was from another state though since many states, including Arkansas, often don't arrest individuals appearing in their... View More
I know in Arkansas you can carry any sized knife concealed or open carry as long as you don't have any intent to harm anyone. Does this work for swords too?
answered on Jul 13, 2020

Under current Arkansas law, if I believed that someone were attempting to steal my vehicle which is parked under my carport at my home, would the use of deadly force be justified?
answered on Jul 7, 2019
No, because you believe they are attempting to steal the vehicle. If you reasonably believe force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm, then, you are in a MUCH better position. The carport is likely considered curtilage (basically, an extension of the home) but the main issue is... View More
