If you’re facing criminal charges or a licensing board investigation, you need a lawyer who knows how to fight. I’m Stewart Whaley, an Arkansas attorney dedicated to protecting your career, reputation, and future.

As a criminal defense lawyer and  license defense attorney, I’ve spent my career defending Arkansans—especially professionals—before licensing boards and in court. A license board complaint or criminal charge threatens everything you’ve worked hard to achieve, and my background in criminal defense, professional license defense, and administrative law helps me navigate these complex legal issues.

Healthcare law is also part of my background. My wife is a physician, with a medical aesthetics practice, a pain management practice and I provide counsel for both. After working at Arkansas Children’s Hospital for over a decade while earning my law degree, I gained firsthand experience with the challenges healthcare providers face. That experience allows me to better serve my clients in healthcare-related legal matters  while maintaining a primary focus on criminal defense and professional license defense.

I’m an Arkansan, from Phillips County, raised in the Delta. Coming from a family of healthcare professionals has fueled my passion for defending licensed professionals and individuals across Arkansas.

Outside the office, I’m with my family, outdoors, hunting, or cheering on the Razorbacks. As a husband and father of two, I know how important it is to protect what matters most.

If you’re facing DWI/DUI, drug charges, assault, theft, or a licensing board investigation, let’s talk. I’ll fight for you like I’d fight for myself—because your defense isn’t business, it’s personal.
