    My Case Was Dismissed Within a Month
    Cody Dowden and Ann were extremely knowledgeable and informative, also in a very timely manner. When I started looking for an attorney to handle my case, I did not need to continue after meeting with Mr. Cody... I hired him immediately. His experience as a former prosecutor himself gave me the confidence I was looking for. My case was handled with updates shared with me as they came up. My case was dismissed within a month without even having to make a court appearance. Thank you to Mr. Cody and Miss Ann for making it happen!

    You Won’t Find a Better Lawyer
    Cody was an incredible help during my case. I had used Mr. Dowden’s services on a prior incident 10 years ago and got great results, so I knew immediately who to reach out to this time around as well. Through the whole process, Mr. Dowden kept me informed, worked hard to bring my charges down, and in the end got me some great results on my court date. You won’t find a better or more professional lawyer out there.

    Hiring Cody Was the Best Decision
    I cannot recommend Cody Dowden highly enough. Before hiring Cody, I was represented by Norwood and Norwood, who had my case for six weeks with no progress. I was repeatedly told they were unable to get responses from the prosecutor and that there were no updates. After weeks of waiting and uncertainty, I ultimately made the decision to terminate their representation. Hiring Cody was the best decision I could have made. Cody took over my case and had it resolved in less than a week. From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, responsive, and extremely efficient. He clearly understood the situation, communicated expectations upfront, and followed through immediately. His assistant, Ann, was also fantastic. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. To add another layer of complexity, I do not live in Arkansas; I live in Utah, so navigating a legal issue in another state was stressful in itself. Cody handled everything seamlessly and made the entire process straightforward and reassuring. In addition to the incredible results, his fees were very reasonable, especially given how quickly and effectively he resolved the matter. The contrast between my previous experience and working with Cody was night and day. After going through the frustration of firing one firm and trusting a new attorney, I can honestly say Cody far exceeded my expectations. He did exactly what he said he would do and delivered results when it mattered most. If you are in Arkansas and need legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend Cody Dowden. Five stars isn’t enough. I would give him 10 stars without hesitation.
