EXPERIENCE

I have worked extensively in litigation based areas of the legal field.  During law school I gained valuable experience from the lawyers I was fortunate enough to clerk for.  My first clerking experience was with James & House, P.A. in Little Rock, Arkansas.  While at James & House, I worked cases dealing with construction law, zoning law, and white collar crimes.  After James & House I became a Rule 15 Clerk with the Pulaski County Public Defender's Office.  As a Rule 15 clerk I was allowed to represent individuals in Arkansas courts as long as I had another member of the Public Defender's Office with me. It was during this time that I gained valuable courtroom experience.  Finally, I clerked for J. Sky Tapp at Tapp Law Offices in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  I was fortunate enough to work on many matters ranging from researching and writing appellate briefs, drafting correspondence to courts, and drafting numerous pleadings. 

After passing the bar I became an associate at Tapp Law Offices in Hot Springs where I furthered my knowledge of litigation based practice with the help of Mr. Tapp.  After leaving Tapp Law Offices I started the Ethridge Law Firm and shared an office here in Hot Springs with Luke Graham.  During that time I spent one (1) year as a part time deputy public defender in the 16th Judicial District in nothern Arkansas.  Mr. Graham decided to move closer to family in Malvern, Arkansas and I remained in Hot Springs.
