We asked Ross a few questions about himself and his experience as a trial attorney in Arkansas…

Why did you choose to become a lawyer?

My mom started a career in the judicial system before I was even able to form memories. I spent a lot of time as a kid meeting Judges and Justices with her through her work, and that continued well on into adulthood. In a lot of ways, being in that environment starting at such a young age put me on a path to this career.

What do you love about practicing law?

The best part about practicing law is when you know you did everything you could to help someone. You get them a really good result with whatever problem they are facing, and they are appreciative of the work you did. Those moments add fuel to the fire to help the next person in line.

Where do you attribute your successes as an attorney?

I wouldn’t know up from down in this field if it weren’t for my mentors. They’ve taught me not just how to practice law, but how to approach problems, and more importantly, how to approach people.

How do you enjoy spending your time outside of the office?

I watch pretty much every Razorback game that involves a ball. I’m a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers, so I’m plugged into their games also. Every Monday, I play baseball with friends, and I try to golf when I can. I read when I can and cuddle my dog when she’ll let me.

What are your goals and aspirations as an attorney?

Right now, I really just want to keep growing as a lawyer. There’s a lot that I still have to learn and there are things I need more experience in. To keep from drowning you have to swim and that just means taking one stroke after another until eventually you get where you’re trying to go. I just hope that one day I can look back and be proud of how far I’ve come.
