About Brannen Payne

My extreme focus on DWI defense isn’t the only thing that sets us apart from the “door law” firms out there. My undergraduate degree is Philosophy. My wife is a Professor of Substance Abuse and Addictions at the University of Arkansas. It goes without saying that our goal in life was never to rake in piles of cash by whatever means possible (we actually met as co-workers in a prison when we were both getting started in our careers). Instead, the goal of the firm is something pretty extraordinary and unusual—to actually help clients fight their charge, preserve their futures, and to allow them to pass us the burden of worrying about their case as we move forward.

But what about *client care*? True client care goes beyond deadlines and filings; it's about treating clients as *people*-scared, uncertain, and in need of guidance. And when done...

Personal Contact: Using the Officer's Observations Against Them

03/10/2025
