How we got here
Michael Knollmeyer founded this firm in 1986 on a simple belief: everyone deserves quality legal representation they can actually afford. Forty years later, that is still what the place runs on.
We have helped thousands of Arkansas families through divorce, custody fights, bankruptcy and disability claims. Clients do not come to us because we are the biggest firm. They come because we treat them like people rather than case numbers.
In practice that means three things. We answer your calls. We explain things in plain English. And we fight hard for the best outcome we can honestly get you.
In Michael's own words: "My greatest professional achievement is earning the respect of clients, the courts and colleagues for several decades. Honesty, from the first meeting through the verdict, is the best policy for dealing with clients."
The people
The same people who answer the phone are the ones working your file. There is no intake department here.
Founding attorney, all practice areas
Michael Knollmeyer has practiced law in Arkansas for 40 years, helping clients through divorce, bankruptcy and Social Security disability. Based in Jacksonville, he is a University of Arkansas graduate who found his calling in an undergraduate business law class.
Attorney, bankruptcy

Bankruptcy paralegal
Penny brings 18 years of bankruptcy experience to the firm, where she has worked exclusively since 2014. She prepares petitions, motions and legal documents for consumer filings, and stays involved with each client from start to finish. At home she enjoys gardening, her grandchildren and traveling.

Receptionist, Jacksonville office
Rylie joined the team in 2024 and is the first friendly face you see at the Jacksonville office. She handles front desk operations and assists the whole team wherever she is needed.
Why families trust us
Not a marble lobby. It buys judgment: knowing which fights are worth having, which arguments a particular court will not entertain, and when the honest answer is that you do not need a lawyer yet.
It also buys a team that has stayed. Several of the people working your file have been here for twenty years or more, which is unusual and is the reason nothing gets dropped in a hand-off.
Call us for a free consultation. We will hear your situation, explain your options, and tell you honestly whether we are the right firm for it.
