You Can’t Afford to Hire the Wrong Attorney

The wrong lawyer won’t keep you up to date and might not even return your calls, emails, and letters. (This is the #1 attorney complaint filed.)
Many attorneys say they do estate planning, but it is a sideline. We concentrate on estate planning and probate which means you can rest easy knowing your attorney knows the ins and outs of planning and probate.
Acting as your own attorney is dangerous and not recommended.

Your Guide to Success

Hi. I’m Gary, the owner of DeWitt Law.

DeWitt Law Firm offers professional, knowledgeable legal solutions for families to protect people, property, and privacy against unpredictable dangers and events.

Unlike other law firms, we guide you through the process with our unique, easy to follow, step-by-step systems. For most of our work, we’ll give you the price up front. We strive to give you peace of mind.

We aren’t a general practice law firm, and have developed a deep knowledge in estate planning, probate, special needs planning, and elder law or Medicaid so you can rest easy that we have a lot of expertise in these areas.

We believe in three things:
1. Law shouldn’t be hard for you. We should take care of the hard part and let you concentrate on what’s important
2. Systems make solutions easier
3. You deserve to know pricing ahead of time

We guide you through the legal process with a unique step-by-step, easy to follow systems based approach.

You give us the information we need and we put it into the legal form needed. You don’t have to speak legalese because we speak in plain language.

Everything we do – estate planning, probate, elder law, and special needs planning – is systems based.

What do systems mean for you?

A system is a repeatable set of steps to achieve your successful outcome. Systems simplify complex tasks by breaking them down into a set of easier steps. After each step is complete, the work is checked. Only if the work is correct is the next step is taken.

We also believe you deserve to know the price before we start to work. Some firms will take a guess at the number of hours, give you an estimate, and charge you at their hourly rate plus expenses. You don’t know how much you pay until they are done.

We don’t do that. We will give you a fixed price up front and stick to it, no matter how many hours we put in.

Because this is all we do, we are really familiar with the fees needed. We build them into our up front pricing. Rarely do we have unforeseen expenses.

We want to help you solve your legal issues one step at a time.

Over the years, we have engaged attorneys to help navigate the legal process for various reasons. In the last three years, we have had to engage estate attorneys in two different states to assist with probate matters. Not being from Arkansas, we didn't know of any attorneys and were given a referral to Gary DeWitt. Wow! What a different experience for us. Gary is punctual, friendly, responsive, family-oriented, kind-hearted, and very knowledgeable. We are forever grateful for the referral to his law firm. From our view, when we have a legal question, we want answers as soon as possible, but most attorneys get to you when they can. Gary, however, makes you feel as if you are the only client he has - although we know this not to be the case. He truly does respond quickly to questions and goes - in my mind - above and beyond. It was over the holidays when I needed a letter to move things along with an insurance company. Gary was out of the office, but still replied and was able to assist us with the letter. No, I didn't really expect him to meet my timeline, but we were certainly grateful he went above expectations to get this letter to us! If you have any doubts about engaging Gary's firm, please don't. You will be happy working with him! Go meet with him. You will see for yourself he was made from a unique mold. I have not experienced an attorney like him in all my years! This is not a paid review. Just a review to motivate others like me to pick a good attorney!

Wonderful to have all the things in place to take care of each other and our kids if anything were to happen. We learned so much through this process and now feel prepared and educated. This has been the best team to work with through this process. Adulting isn’t always fun, but being prepared does help take some of the anxiety and strain away.

Gary and his staff have been wonderful to work with. Having never had to deal with estate issues or being an executor before, Gary walked me through each step of the process. He and his staff patiently answered all of my numerous questions and reassured me that I was doing everything correctly. Highly recommend Gary and his staff. I wish they practiced law in the state that I reside in.
