About
Founded 1979
With nearly four decades of dedicated service in criminal law, John Wesley Hall has extensive expertise defending clients facing serious allegations, including drug offenses and homicide. Our focus is primarily on trial advocacy; however, we also manage appeals and post-conviction matters while supporting individuals through various parole and probation challenges. As a distinguished former president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, John is honored by recognitions from Best Lawyers in America as well as SuperLawyers. Notably, he stands out as the sole Arkansas attorney awarded Fellow status by the American Board of Criminal Lawyers. Our seasoned practice encompasses numerous high-stakes cases where we've successfully secured acquittals for our clients accused of violent crimes utilizing firearms, knives, explosives, and other weaponry. We are adept at demonstrating innocence in homicide charges through vital defenses such as self-defense or mental health considerations. Armed with deep legal insights, we deliver robust representation that often yields favorable outcomes for our clients both within institutional settings or during pretrial negotiations.
