I serve clients facing:

From the start, I walk every client through the Arkansas criminal statutes that apply to their charge and the specific procedures followed in Bentonville courts.

What to Expect When You Reach Out

When you contact Bertucci Law Firm, you speak with me, not a staff member or answering service. Your first consultation is free and private. I review your circumstances, explain what Arkansas law means for your specific charge, and outline possible next steps in the Bentonville legal process. My goal is for you to understand your rights and choices clearly before making any decisions.

I respond quickly, often the same day, because timing is critical in criminal matters. Reaching out before you speak to investigators or appear in court without counsel can help you avoid mistakes that may be difficult to correct later. Whether this is your first encounter with the criminal justice system or not, I help you take measured, informed action from the start.

I’m a member of the Arkansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Benton County Bar Association, and I was named to Super Lawyers® Rising Stars for 2021, 2022, and 2023. I graduated from the University of Arkansas School of Law in 2013, and I’ve been practicing criminal defense in these courts ever since.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I’m arrested in Bentonville?

Stay calm, ask to speak with an attorney, and exercise your right to remain silent before any questioning. Anything you say before consulting with counsel can be used against you. Contact me as soon as you’re able so I can advise you on next steps right away.

How does Arkansas law affect my criminal charge?

Criminal offenses in Arkansas are governed by state statutes, but Bentonville and Benton County courts have their own hearing schedules, local procedures, and customs that shape how your case unfolds. Understanding both the law and the local process is essential to building a defense strategy.

When should I contact a criminal defense attorney?

As early as possible. Whether you’ve been arrested, formally charged, or believe you’re under investigation, early legal advice can help you avoid mistakes that may affect your case. Don’t wait for a court date to reach out.

Will I have to appear in court?

Most criminal cases in Benton County involve one or more hearings. I prepare you for each stage so you understand what’s expected and can respond with confidence.

Can a conviction affect me beyond fines or jail time?

Yes. A criminal conviction can have lasting effects on employment, housing, professional licensing, and other opportunities. Understanding those potential consequences early, and working to avoid them, is exactly why it matters to get an attorney involved as soon as possible.
