Meet Stuart Cearley - Lawyer
The Man in the Arena - Stuart served as a prosecutor in Arkansas since 1997 and has participated in over 120 jury trials, worked with over 25 different judges, has been designated a Certified Death Penalty Lawyer, and achieved the title of Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney of both Benton and Lonoke Counties. Stuart has tried every type of criminal case and has tenaciously fought for justice for thousands of victims. But not all defendants are guilty. And some that are guilty are just regular people who make mistakes. Now, Stuart brings his extensive experience in the Arkansas legal system, his grit and perseverance, and his human compassion to pursue justice for the accused.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
