Jonesboro Family Law
& Trial Attorney
I’m Bryce Cook. I was born and raised in Jonesboro, and I have been licensed to practice law in Arkansas since 2009. I have served as a public defender and as a deputy prosecuting attorney, and I founded this firm nearly a decade ago. Most of my work is family law: divorce, custody, child support, guardianship and adoption. I also handle criminal defense and civil litigation. My wife, Sara Beth, works alongside me as lead paralegal.
People usually call a lawyer during one of the hardest stretches of their lives. They need someone who will listen carefully, tell them the truth and help them move forward. That is what Sara Beth and I try to do for every client. My office is on W. Matthews Ave in Jonesboro, and I handle cases in courts across Northeast Arkansas, including Craighead, Greene, Mississippi, Poinsett, Clay and Crittenden counties.
Learn More About BrycePersonal Injury & Civil Litigation
If you were hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, Arkansas law may allow you to recover for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. Fault and deadlines matter. Arkansas reduces a recovery by the injured person’s share of fault and bars it when that fault is equal to or greater than the other side’s, and most injury lawsuits must be filed within three years. My personal injury page explains how these cases work.
Civil cases I handle include:
- Car, truck, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall and premises liability claims
- Product liability
- Wrongful death
- Probate litigation
- Wrongful foreclosure
You are never just another client to us. You are a person who needs help.
Every case is different, and I won’t make promises about how yours will turn out. I will explain the law, your options and the risks, and I will keep you informed as your case moves forward.
Criminal Defense
I have served as both a public defender and a deputy prosecuting attorney, so I have seen criminal cases from both sides of the courtroom. After several years as a part-time felony prosecutor, I am now accepting private criminal cases. If you have been charged with a crime, or think you may be, talk with a lawyer before you talk with anyone else about the case.
I will explain the charge, the possible penalties, the process ahead and your options. I will be honest with you about the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and the decisions will be yours.
Criminal matters I handle include:
- Felony charges in circuit court
- Misdemeanor charges in district court
- DWI / DUI

Family Law
Family law is the heart of my practice. When a family is changing, people need clear answers about their children, their home and their finances. I handle:
- Divorce, contested and uncontested
- Child custody and changes to existing orders
- Child support
- Paternity
- Spousal support
- Guardianship and adoption
- Orders of protection
- Contempt and enforcement of court orders
When an agreement serves my client, I work toward one. I prepare every case knowing it may need to be tried.
Wrongful Foreclosure Law
If you are facing foreclosure and believe your lender or servicer did not follow the law or your loan documents, timing matters. In Arkansas, a statutory foreclosure sale ends redemption rights, so it is important to get advice before a sale date. I will review your documents, explain where you stand and talk through the options that remain.
