When a former business partner filed a meritless lawsuit against our small manufacturing company, we were overwhelmed. Barrett Deacon's deep experience litigating in Arkansas and Missouri state courts was immediately apparent. He didn't just see the legal arguments; he understood the operational and financial strain the case was causing. His strategic approach, honed over nearly two decades, was to move decisively for summary judgment rather than let us bleed resources in a prolonged discovery battle. His command of civil procedure in federal court, where the case was eventually removed, was formidable. The result was a complete dismissal with prejudice. Barrett is more than a skilled litigator; he's a pragmatic counselor who protects his clients' interests on every front. We are deeply grateful for his exceptional guidance.
