Nelson & Marks PLLC

True lawyers.. This firm defines the definition of lawyers. From day one my attorney Matthew told me he could beat my DWI case. As time would go by doubts crept in to the point of me wanting to plea out. “just be patient and I’ll beat the case” he told me “trust in me” and I’m glad I did. He beat my DWI case and kept it off my driving record. Recommend him and this law firm 100%.

Jonathan Nelson represented me in a criminal matter that I was falsely charged of and I was very happy with the outcome. Jonathan was extremely professional, diligent, knowledgeable and showed genuine concern. I would strongly recommend him to anyone for representation.

Matthew Flemister represented my husband for almost 2 years while he was being falsely accused of a serious crime. We ultimately went to trial and he was found not guilty on ALL of the charges. Matthew is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and he listens to your concerns genuinely. He is reasonable in payment arrangements and honors his word. He will ask the hard questions and shoots it to you straight. He is tenacious, compassionate and astute to say the least. Words can't thank him and his firm enough for what they have done for my family during what felt like the hardest and worst time our lives.

Matt Flemister represented my son Shannon in a criminal defense case in Newton County. Matt was very diligent and the case covered approximately two years of time and eventually went to trial. We feel like Matt did an excellent job representing Shannon as he was acquitted of all charges. My son is a honorably discharged veteran and these charges were brought frivolously. Thank you would never be enough for what he did for our family.

Thomas Marks in my opinion is one of the best lawyers I have had the pleasure of speaking with and helping me when I needed it you will get the defense you need plus someone who cares about your case and is personally involved every step of the way.

I had the privilege of working with Thomas Marks of Nelson & Marks PLLC, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he was professional, reassuring, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the process clearly, and kept me informed every step of the way. What stood out most was his commitment and genuine care for my situation. He provided the guidance and confidence I needed during a stressful time, and his expertise led to a great outcome for me. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable but also dedicated and supportive, Thomas Marks is the one you want in your corner.

Tom Marks is, without a doubt, one of the best lawyers in the area. When I found myself facing serious charges that I felt were unjustified, I had no idea where to turn. Having never been in trouble before, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. I called Tom one morning, and within an hour, he personally called me back to discuss my situation. From the start, Tom was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and reassuring. With his extensive experience—having been a prosecutor himself—he understands the legal system inside and out. His deep expertise, combined with his respectful and genuine approach, makes him stand out as a lawyer who truly cares about his clients. Thanks to Tom’s strategic thinking and legal expertise, he was able to get the most serious charge dismissed and negotiate a resolution that kept me out of jail. In a year, we’ll also be able to seal the lesser misdemeanor charge I pleaded to. Without his guidance, I could have been facing a much harsher outcome. The legal system can be unpredictable and unforgiving, but having someone like Tom in your corner makes all the difference. I can’t recommend him highly enough—whether for yourself, a friend, or a family member, Tom Marks is the attorney you want fighting for you.

I cannot thank Jonathan Nelson enough for the outstanding job they did handling my DWI case. From the very beginning, they were honest, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood my options. What really stood out was their attention to detail and how thoroughly they investigated every aspect of my case. Because of their diligence and expertise, the charge was ultimately dismissed — a result I honestly didn’t think was possible. If you’re facing a DWI charge in Arkansas, I highly recommend Jonathan Nelson. They are the real deal — experienced, dedicated, and they fight hard for their clients.
