Schnipper, Britton & Stobaugh | Arkansas’s Second-Oldest Law Firm Defends Hot Springs (h1)

Schnipper, Britton & Stobaugh traces its roots to 1875, making it the second-oldest law firm in Arkansas, and continues to practice from 400 Ouachita Avenue in Hot Springs. The firm’s criminal defense practice is led by John S. Stobaugh, a former Deputy City Attorney and prosecutor for Magnolia, Arkansas, who spent years prosecuting misdemeanors in the District Court of Columbia County before joining Schnipper, Britton & Stobaugh as an associate in 2017 and making partner in 2019. He has also served as an adjunct professor at Southern Arkansas University, teaching juvenile law and criminal evidence and procedure, coursework that mirrors the subject matter he now litigates on behalf of clients. The office can be reached at 501-624-1252.

Stobaugh and the firm’s criminal defense team represent clients facing traffic offenses, ordinance violations, misdemeanors, and felonies, with particular experience in drug-related charges such as possession of a controlled substance, marijuana possession, and possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as DWI cases where the firm reviews the underlying stop and testing procedures for viable defenses. The practice also extends to violent and non-violent felony matters, where the firm develops case-specific strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all defense. The firm’s century-and-a-half of continuous practice in Hot Springs has given it deep familiarity with the local courts, an advantage that carries directly into how it counsels and represents criminal defense clients today.
