Shane really is THE best. I appreciated his aggressive style in that he was proactive for my best interests. His experience and network within the system is invaluable for his clients. Don't let some half skilled (often half priced for a reason) attorney have your future in their hands. Go with the best...get the best results. So glad I did just that.

We were looking for legal services and found Shane to be the "total package". His previous experiences as a prosecutor, followed by years of defending clients, and strong relationships with key stakeholders in northwest AR proved to be a compelling and powerful combination of strengths that are rarely found in one person. Shane walked us through the process, potential scenarios, and what each one could mean for us. He was incredibly knowledgeable, transparent, responsive, and a great communicator throughout the journey. I would recommend him again and again.

If you are facing criminal charges, calling Shane is the first thing you need to do. Then, you can put your mind at ease knowing you have obtained the absolute best counsel. Shane helped me a great deal by creating options in my case that were not initially available. He and his office are knowledgeable, prompt, and helpful. I would recommend Shane to anyone who wants to be respected and represented.

If you or a loved one is in need of a criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend the services of the Wilkinson Law Firm in Bentonville. When my Brother-in-law was arrested in Siloam Springs and booked into the Benton County Jail, my wife and I were shocked and scared and worried that didn’t know who to turn to. We live thousands of miles away, so we didn’t have any local contacts. We were quite fortunate to find the Wilkinson Law Offices and we are very happy that we secured their representation for my wife’s brother. Shane Wilkinson is very knowledgeable about both the law and the local court procedures, but he is still very personable and easy to talk to. Shane is hard-working and always diligent, but he still finds the time to respond to all of our questions, either via email or via a telephone chat. Shane is well-known and well-respected in the local legal community and Courts, but he fought hard to get our out-of-town relative the best deal possible under the circumstances. I am convinced that if we had retained a different attorney, the outcome would not have been as favorable. Shane shepherded our relative through the process with a gentle hand, showing as much flexibility as possible, and he managed to get him the absolute best deal possible from the Court. The prosecutor was quite invested in this case and I feel that if we had hired a lesser defense attorney, there is no way that our relative would have gotten the deal that he got. Shane Wilkinson helped my brother-in-law, and our entire family, deal with a very difficult situation in the most positive way possible and he brought it to a good outcome. I highly recommend the services of the Wilkinson Law Firm.

Within minutes of taking over my case from my previous attorney, Shane was getting results. He received paperwork and contact information that the other attorney had requested for weeks. Shane is known and highly respected in Arkansas courts. Shane was very thorough in his review of my case and the outcome was overwhelmingly positive.

My son was falsely accused of a crime, a crime that could have destroyed his life forever, a crime that could have put him in jail for many years if it had not been for Shane Wilkinson. We set a meeting with Shane, and told him our plight, after an hour of discussion we knew he was the right man to defend, support, and win true JUSTICE for our son. Shane is extremely smart about law and the psychology of people, he uses knowledge from past cases to develop the best plan of attack to give you the best chances to win your case. Shane puts himself in the shoes of the defendant and is extremely protective of them and their family. Shane is empathetic and supportive which greatly helps off set the deep mental anguish and constant fatigue that occurs when a loved one is getting ham strung by the judicial system for weeks, months, or even years. Shane was available 24/7 through out the entire process. After 5 months Shane, to the relief of our entire family,, was able to get the my sons case dismissed. If we did not have Shane the case could have drug on for years, if you want the best representation for yourself or some one you love Shane Wilkinson is your man. There are none better, thank you again Shane for saving my sons life, it would not have happened without you and your team.

I hired Shane for a second class felony charge and my case was dismissed at the end. Shane is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer in the criminal area. He is very thoughtful and up to the point. The good thing about Shane is that he listens and thinks and then he will find a way to help you. In my opinion he is not only the best lawyer in the town he is also the best in nation.

We brought Shane a felony case that could have carried a life sentence. He worked and stayed in communication with the prosecution and got the charge reduced and in turn the sentence was only a few years.

Life threw me a curve I never predicted. Thanks to the help of Shane and his staff, I was able to breath again. The ability to keep a consistent flow of communication and knowing what to expect were very gratifying. Being understood and as if I were the only one being represented kept me knowing I had made the best choice for legal representation. Definitely recommend for anyone in any circumstance.
