Profile
Mike Rainwater has been practicing law for over 40 years and is licensed to practice law in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. He attended South Texas College of Law in Houston, where he earned his Juris Doctorate. After graduating, he began working for the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he built relationships with local judges, court personnel, and lawyers. He then transitioned to a private practice, where he learned about commercial law, including bankruptcy.
He began his career as a personal injury lawyer in 1993 and continues to pursue this path today. “I feel called to help individuals who are hurting from injury or other situations that have them on the sidelines of life,” Mike said. “I really enjoy building relationships. I love when the representation ends with a fully satisfied client and we have made a difference in someone’s life.”
