Practice Areas
Criminal Defense
Criminal defense forms the core of the firm’s practice. Matt Dearmore represents clients facing charges that range from misdemeanors to the most serious felonies, understanding that any conviction can follow a person for life.
Drug Crimes
The firm defends against all drug-related charges, from simple possession to more serious distribution and manufacturing allegations. Defense strategies focus on challenging evidence, questioning search and seizure procedures, and protecting clients’ constitutional rights.
Violent Crimes
Accusations of violent crimes carry severe penalties and significant social stigma. Dearmore provides defense representation for clients facing these charges, bringing courtroom experience and thorough case preparation to every matter.
DWI and DUI
Arkansas DWI charges can result in license suspension, fines, and jail time. The firm challenges the evidence in impaired driving cases, examining the traffic stop, field sobriety testing, and chemical analysis for weaknesses.
Sex Crimes
The consequences of a sex crime conviction extend well beyond the courtroom, potentially affecting employment, housing, and personal relationships for decades. The firm provides aggressive defense while maintaining the sensitivity these cases require.
Homicide
Murder and manslaughter charges represent the most serious criminal allegations. Dearmore brings his trial experience and investigative thoroughness to these cases, working to protect clients’ rights at every stage.
Property Crimes
Theft, burglary, and other property offenses are part of the firm’s regular criminal defense caseload. Each case is evaluated on its own facts, with defense strategies tailored to the specific circumstances.
Traffic Violations
Even seemingly minor traffic citations can have consequences, particularly for commercial drivers or individuals with existing records. The firm handles traffic defense matters across Washington County and Northwest Arkansas.
Family Law
Beyond criminal defense, Dearmore Law Firm provides representation in family law matters. The firm assists clients navigating divorce, child custody, visitation, child support, and other domestic relations issues with the same dedication brought to criminal cases.
