“Our firm, over the past 135 years, has some of the most dedicated, caring and professional people serving our clients throughout all of Arkansas and beyond so I look forward to continuing to work with Charley as he continues to serve his clients and am excited about what the future brings with a partner like Aaron who carries the same attributes,” Cockmon said in a statement.
