What our clients say

Chuck Buchan, was knowledgeable, exceptionally responsive to calls and messages, and took the time to explain every detail. I felt like a person, not just a case number. He's very straightforward about all possible outcomes, which I deeply respected.-- I highly recommend to anyone needing expert legal counsel.

Attorney, Charles Buchan, returned my call very quickly. He provided me with a free consultation over the phone, answered all of my questions and offered additional helpful information. The receptionist was also very nice. 😊

Thank you so much for responding quickly and providing clear responses to my questions. That helped me to understand the complicated probate issue that I am dealing with. I feel much better knowing that I can reach out to a knowledgeable attorney and get information when I need it.

No Attorney. No direction.

When someone passes without a probate attorney, families often spend months — sometimes years — trying to navigate a process they've never encountered before. Courts have requirements. Creditors have deadlines. Heirs have questions. And mistakes made early in the process can delay everything.


Probate doesn't have to be that hard. But it does have to be done correctly.


The sooner your family gets clear guidance, the smoother the process goes. Chuck's free evaluation takes one conversation — and gives you a complete picture of what's ahead.


The best time to plan was yesterday. The next best time is today.

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late.

If someone in your family has passed, the clock is already running. Arkansas probate has deadlines, and the longer you wait, the more complicated things can get for your family.


Whether you're not sure where to start or just want to understand what's involved, Chuck is ready to help. One free conversation. No pressure, no obligation.
