Personal Injury
“Personal injury” as it is used in the legal sense is a broad term that can mean many types of accidents and injuries. Some examples of personal injury include injuries caused by an automobile accident, medical malpractice, a dog bite, a slip and fall on another’s property, or a defective product, drug, or air bag. Injuries that occur during pregnancy or birth, including cerebral palsy, can be personal injuries. Victims of elder abuse, either in the home or in a nursing home, can often sue under the legal theory of personal injury. Other injuries may not be as obvious as when there is an external injury, such as in the case of a closed head brain injury. If the personal injury results in the victim’s death, the next of kin may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
DWI Defense

Criminal Defense
When a person is accused of a crime in Arkansas, they are subject to numerous penalties including fines, imprisonment, probation and community service. Defending your criminal case in the strongest possible way is critical to your freedom and your future. The outcome of any criminal case depends upon the facts surrounding the crime charged, the strength of the evidence, the quality of the law enforcement investigation, successful motion practice before the court, and the goals and strategy of the government and defense. As experienced former Prosecuting Attorneys and current Criminal Defense Attorneys, we will navigate you through this complicated legal process.
Debt collectors, a mountain of bills
Whether a result of disability, divorce, predatory lending, or a rising mortgage, your debt has snowballed out of control. You're being threatened with garnished wages, repossession of your car and belongings, and maybe even losing your home.
At Butler, Horn, Nye & Johnson, we know how difficult it is to take care of your family while trying to keep the debt collectors at bay. As experienced Arkansas bankruptcy lawyers, we've helped people who are trying to keep their heads above water, always thinking the bills are one step behind.
Is bankruptcy my only way out?
As longtime debt relief lawyers, we realize that an Arkansas bankruptcy may be your best option. However, not all debt relief cases require filing for bankruptcy. Our attorneys explore all options before resorting to bankruptcy, including debt consolidation, asset protection, and real estate planning. Our attorneys will give you an honest opinion on how to restructure your debt. And, if bankruptcy is the best option, we can file the same day you walk into our office.
We know that you're scared. Nobody wants to declare bankruptcy; in fact, many people dig themselves in deeper trying to prolong it. The sad truth is that many clients come to us when they have no other recourse available. If they had come a few months or weeks earlier, then we could have prevented bankruptcy and achieved debt relief through other channels. The fear of bankruptcy keeps people away from our door until it's too late. That's why we urge anyone seeking debt relief in Arkansas to contact us as soon as possible, rather than trying to figure it out alone.

This experience doesn't have to be so scary. Let us help.
We handle many different types of bankruptcy cases, including:
Chapter 7
Chapter 7 bankruptcy means the forgiveness of unsecured debt. This involves credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans.
Chapter 11
Chapter 11 is an option for individuals, partnerships, and corporations who want to restructure their debt. This kind of chapter has no set limit on the amount of debt, and the owner can often times remain in control of his assets after the bankruptcy.
Chapter 12
Chapter 12 allows for special benefits for farmers and fishermen. Designed to protect family farms from bankruptcy, this chapter offers more benefits, exemptions, and a higher amount of debt.
Chapter 13
Under Chapter 13, you can reorganize your debts rather than eliminating them. Under the rules of Chapter 13, residents stay in possession of their homes and cars while paying their debts.
Foreclosure
Declaring bankruptcy does not always mean losing your home. Under Arkansas bankruptcy laws, there are ways to retain your property. If you are facing foreclosure in Arkansas, call our office today to find out how to file bankruptcy without losing your assets.
Loan Modification
While your creditors may not negotiate directly with you, they will negotiate with an attorney. We work with banks and lenders to renegotiate interest rates, forgive late fees, reduce your monthly payment, and even lower the principal balance.
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
A special act of consumer law, this guarantees you the right to be treated fairly by debt collectors. It includes not only protection from harassment, but also allows a debtor to obtain all information on the specifics of the debt in order to dispute amounts and fees.
