The four attorneys associated with the Hogue Law Firm PLLC of Fayetteville have joined Hall Estill of Tulsa, the two firms announced on Monday.
Attorneys Brian Hogue and David Hogue have joined Hall Estill as shareholders, Matthew Benson has joined as special counsel, and Tyler Benson has joined in an of counsel position, the firms said in a news release.
Another Arkansas attorney, Marshall Hubbard, has joined the firm as special counsel.
“We are pleased to welcome these five exceptional attorneys to our team, and we know they will significantly enhance our services and be a valuable resource to our clients in northwest Arkansas,” Hall Estill Managing Partner Steve Ray said.
The Hogue brothers ran their own firm for 12 years. Brian Hogue handles family law and provides mediation services in civil and domestic relation cases. He also represents clients in the areas of probate, general civil litigation, landlord/tenant and general business matters. David Hogue focuses on criminal defense work. Before founding Hogue Law Firm, he worked as a deputy prosecuting attorney in Washington County.
The Hogue brothers’ father, Curtis Hogue, is already a Hall Estill shareholder who has worked in the firm’s northwest Arkansas office since 2000.
“As second-generation attorneys, Brian and I were born and raised here in the Fayetteville legal community,” David Hogue said in a news release. “Practicing law with our dad is something we’ve always wanted to do, so this is a unique opportunity for us.”
Matthew Benson has experience in domestic and criminal law. He began his legal career with the U.S. Department of Justice as a law clerk with the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas. He later served as a deputy prosecuting attorney with the Benton County prosecutor’s office before entering private practice.
Hubbard represents clients with issues focused on debtor-creditor law. Tyler Benson’s legal experience began at the Washington County Public Defender’s Office before moving to private practice in 2013. His practice includes all aspects of family law. He is also certified to mediate family law, and helps his clients with wills, trusts and estates.
Hall Estill said the new hires double the number of attorneys in its northwest Arkansas office to 10. The firm also has offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Denver.
