Our Story

by Kelli LaPorte-Jenner

When we decided to start our own law firm, we knew that we wanted to hold ourselves to a higher standard. So we wrote down what our core values are, and wanted to share them with our clients so they know we take our values seriously.

We share a passion for service, and that passion is what led us both to go to law school in the first place. Kelli started her legal career working for the Pulaski County Public Defender’s Office, providing legal representation to low-income residents here in Central Arkansas. Frank started his legal career working for the Center for Arkansas Legal Services as an advocate for renters and renter rights. Kelli then moved into the private sector where she began her practice of handling family law cases, and we now bring those skills to our clients.

Our core values are:

ADVOCACY

The practice of law is more than just a business. We represent people in difficult times in their lives.

COMPASSION

We care about our clients, and we want them to feel cared for. People don’t typically hire attorneys when things are going well; we are mostly hired when plans go awry. No matter what brings you to our firm, we promise to listen, care, and treat you the way we would want to be treated.

TRANSPARENCY AND COMMUNICATION

We strive to be 100% transparent when it comes to fees and potential outcomes. As advocates, we want our clients to be able to put their legal issues behind them so they can look to the future. The last thing we want is for our clients to feel blindsided by hidden fees and costs.

EFFICIENCY

We don’t waste our client’s time or money. We are constantly updating our practice and looking for ways to improve so that we can be more efficient while still achieving great results.

QUALITY

We care about our work product. We don’t file anything that we are not proud to have our names on.

It’s possible our values will grow and transform as our firm grows, but at our core, this is who we are.
