Ron Fields’ primary focus of practice is criminal law in Arkansas. With 44 years of legal experience and a lifetime of personal experiences, Mr. Fields provides an outlook from both sides of the law. He is one of the few attorneys in the State of Arkansas that the independent rating system of Martindale-Hubbell has given an “AV” rating. This rating is outlined as such; the “A” stands for outstanding ability, a grade that fewer than 5% of attorneys hold. The “V” stands for the highest ethical standards, an exceptionally rare combination given to only the highest rated attorneys.
