We currently represent the second largest and eighth largest school districts in Arkansas. We are more than equipped to serve all your school district's legal needs.
Product liability
Our products liability practice serves people injured by defective items. These injuries can be the result of design defects, manufacturing flaws, or a failure to warn consumers of potential hazards. It can be difficult for one person to stand against companies that produce faulty goods, but with Bequette & Billingsley on your side, you can feel confident that your attorneys are fighting for you.
Conversely, we defend companies against products liability lawsuits. These challenges to your company's goods and services can seriously damage your reputation. We seek out the frivolous claims—many injuries are simply due to user error—and we provide skilled representation in civil court and negotiations to dismiss these problems as quickly and effectively as possible.
Our attorneys' experiences on both sides of these cases serve all of our clients. We have the added edge of knowing what your opponent is thinking. Hire us for your product liability case today.

When many people have common grievances against a company, they can sometimes combine their claims and file a class action lawsuit.

Most lawsuits are not eligible to become class actions—the damage or injury of one person must not be sufficient for a single lawsuit. A judge decides if claims presented qualify for a class action. In these cases, a few people—class representatives—represent a large group of others with a common gripe.
As in the majority of our practice, our law firm serves as counsel for both plaintiff and defendant. Our attorneys have the experience necessary to—
- Present your case clearly and effectively
- Defend your business against these complex civil litigation lawsuits
