David Rees has been practicing law in Arkansas for over twenty years. During his long and distinguished career, Mr. Rees has become recognized as one of the preeminent lawyers in Arkansas, especially in the areas of plaintiff's personal injury practice and criminal law defense. Mr. Rees is known for his aggressive and uncompromising representation of plaintiffs against some of the nation's largest corporations. And he wins. Mr. Rees has obtained verdicts and settlements against such corporate giants as John Deere, Bell Helicopter, Ford Motor Company, and in significant civil rights cases. Mr. Rees firmly believes that one of the key aspects of any personal injury matter is to go to work immediately, and keep the pressure on the insurance company throughout the litigation. Mr. Rees realizes that many settlements in personal injury matters are the result of a plaintiff's attorney not having the resources or energy necessary for a tough and long fight. Mr. Rees is prepared for the tough fight. He will keep the pressure on until he gets you the highest monetary compensation he can based upon the facts of your case.

Mr. Rees is also known throughout Arkansas for his success in criminal law cases, especially murder trials. Mr. Rees has been successful in many murder cases. Mr Rees's approach in criminal law cases is to leave no stone unturned. Mr. Rees will not only attack the State's case, he and his staff will conduct an independent investigation if necessary. He will, when necessary, conduct mock trials to determine how best to present your case. Mr. Rees knows what it takes to present a successful defense. It pays to have him on your side.

Let David Rees stand with you.
