While a majority of D’Arcy’s litigation experience is related to mesothelioma, she has handled cases across a variety of practice areas. Her expert opinion has been sought after by multiple publications. She was published in the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law on her work, as well as in Gender Race & Just on the subject of non-biological, non-adoptive parents in Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, and Utah.

Bill Horton
Bill Horton has spent his career fighting for people who the system often overlooks—delivering results that stand among the largest in his field, including a $140 million verdict against the NCAA.
Since earning his law degree in 2001, Bill has helped clients across Arkansas and the country secure justice against corporations, insurers, and powerful institutions. His work spans catastrophic injury, wrongful death, trucking litigation, class actions, and complex cases where the stakes are highest.
Raised in Van Buren, Arkansas, Bill’s path into law was shaped early.
“Growing up poor, it became clear that the system wasn’t fair for folks like me—and I wanted to change that,” he says. That perspective still drives his work today.
Bill attended the University of Arkansas, earning a B.A. in History and a Master’s degree in Communication. In 1997, he was selected as a visiting scholar at St. Benet’s College at Oxford University, where he studied constitutional theory. He later earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Arkansas School of Law.
He is also a graduate of the prestigious Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, an elite program dedicated to advanced trial advocacy and jury persuasion—skills that have become central to his success in the courtroom.
