W. GROOMS Kendel

I was born in North Little Rock, AR and have lived in Sherwood for my entire life. I attended high school at Central Arkansas Christian and graduated in 2002.  I graduated from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 2006 and from University of Arkansas at Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law in 2009.

I became a lawyer because....

I want to help people in their time of need as I would want someone to help me in the same, or similar, situations.

What I like most about the law is that:

First, it protects me and my family every single day. Second, the law seems very shallow on its surface, but in reality it is very deep and requires someone with a special mind to grasp it, understand it, and be able to apply it to their clients' tactical advantage.
