About
I love the law. It's that simple. It's all I ever wanted to do. I worked hard all my life, raised two sons as a single mom after divorcing when they were young, and watched while people I knew and loved got screwed by the system. I became a lawyer to try to help people in that system. My practice is state-wide. I moved to Pope County (Russellville) in 2008 to be close to family. In 2017 I have opened a branch office in Saline County (Benton), and I divide my time between the two offices. Criminal law is the main focus of my practice, because I consistently see people who are either completely innocent of their charges, or who are overcharged (charged with something more than what they actually did), and I want to help them. I am tired of police officers who treat the Constitution as though it's merely a suggestion, prosecutors who are willing to bring cases when even they don't really believe the defendant is guilty of the crime, and judges who turn a blind eye to justice. I believe the criminal defense lawyer is the last bastion against a police state run by corrupt government officials, and the only way the criminal defense system works is if the defendant is represented by excellent counsel who holds the State to its burden of proof, and makes all required motions, evidentiary objections, etc. My practice is a family practice. Before he passed away in 2014, my father was our office manager. Now my husband runs the business side of things, one of our sons is our excellent paralegal/legal assistant, our younger daughter is our file clerk, and I handle the lawyering. Because we are a family business, we treat our clients like family, too. In my leisure time, I spend time with family and friends, and I enjoy writing, playing guitar and writing music, and playing with our dogs.

Debra is very serious about what she does. She works hard to get the best outcome possible for you. She does understand situations that do happen can be unfair, and she is very knowledgeable about the laws. She will in no way push you to do anything, and she definitely won’t sugarcoat what she needs to say. What I liked about her the most is that she shared with me personal stories of situations she has had to go through with people she loved which made me feel like she really does understand when the laws are unfair to people or when something has happened that was not done correctly. She will be very honest about her opinions, but leave the ultimate decisions to you. Her assistant Lisa is also very helpful if you have questions or need help with anything. If you are looking for someone that takes what they do seriously in Benton AR call Debra for a consultation. She doesn’t overload her caseload, and is most definitely reasonably priced. I really do believe she cares, and has a good heart that wants to help.
I met Debra in the worst moment in my life, she and her team were very professional. Since day one I felt safe and she did everything in her power to help me. Debra helped me not just in legal matters, she went beyond and gave me moral support. I went several times to her office and talked for a long time.... I can’t find words to express my gratitude to Debra and her team. Gracias
Debra and her team handled the case with persistence, passion and perseverance as she navigated us thru the process with patience and thoroughness.
Ms. Reece went out of her way to help me with the case brought against me. When the first court date came up my dad had to have open heart surgery and she got the date changed the day before so I could be at the hospital. Her Law firm worked very hard and was understanding on payments for there services. I was charged with a Felony and they spoke with person that filed the charges and the district attorneys office and got to the truth and the charge was dropped to a Misdemeanor. they listen to my side and stood by me to help get my life in order and keep all my rights and my job. I would Recommend this great lady and her firm to anyone.
I found the perfect lawyer for me when I found Mrs. Debra Reece-Johnson. She is thorough in the preparation of her cases. She made me feel that she really cared about the outcome of my case and not just out to get paid. She is highly respected by her peers and previous students. She's a great criminal defense attorney. She's committed to her job and passionate about justice being served. I found the perfect lawyer for me when I found Mrs. Debra Reece-Johnson. She is thorough in the preparation of her cases.

We were and still are Super stressed over a pending court date for my son ! he was falsely accused of a crime and after speaking to Debra Reece i felt much better i am looking forward to a consultation with her !!!!
Helped me alot
Debra exceeded our expectations. We had some legal issues out of Russelville, Arkansas. And we live in Florida. I am glad this nightmare is over. We are forever grateful to Debra and her firm on our case. Thank you for treating us like family!
We are from a different state and had a child attending college in Arkansas that was wrongfully accused of act they did not commit. Not being from Arkansas, we did some internet searches and we “Thank God every Day” found and contacted Debra Reece and had an initial conversation over the phone for 30 minutes. Our family had never had any experience with the legal system and we were in panic mode to protect our child, but did not know what to do. Debra took the time to listen as we explained the situation and we made arrangements to meet later that day in person. From that initial phone call clear through the DA not pressing charges, Debra made this stressful situation at least somewhat bearable. Her knowledge, reputation as a lawyer and legal and personal advice to our child made all the difference. We hired a lawyer and made a friend for life.
When I posted a question, Debra came around with a very detailed answer going above and beyond. Answers from other lawyers were short and not too detailed. I appreciate the time Debra took in answering my question and I would go to her for future advice as well.
