Not every case can be a winner. Sanford Law Firm spent over a year fighting back against a debt collection law firm in Arkansas. Without pay of any kind, SLF took the debt collection law firm to the Arkansas Supreme Court, but unfortunately the high court ruled in favor of the debt collection attorneys. However, we are proud to say that we put up a fight. You can read the case here (pdf link). And since that time another court has already used the original case as a basis to rule in our favor in another case. You can read that case here (pdf link).
In 2010 and 2011, Sanford Law Firm represented three members of a four person limited liability company during the disputed and contentious dissolution lawsuit. After several hearings, we secured a judgement for our clients in excess of $300,000.

In 2008, Sanford Law Firm presented an unusual question to the State's highest court--whether the parent of a child can use an adoption to terminate parental rights of the other parent. The Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed the right of parents to adopt their own children.

In 2011, SLF attorney Vanessa Kinney secured a ruling from the Arkansas Court of Appeals protecting and enhancing a father's visitation rights. There is now clear case law in Arkansas that requires that non-custodial parents who live far away from their children receive a visitation schedule that is suited to the great distance between the parents. Here is the court's opinion: (pdf file).
