Natural State Law, PLLC

My sisters and I retained Mr. Changose, aka “Goose” to open an ancillary probate for our stepmother, file affidavits of heirship for her brother’s daughters and update and transfer the deed on a parcel of land that has been in the family since 1937 or earlier with no update since that time. It was tedious and time consuming, but he handled it all with ease and kept us informed and gave clear instructions regarding all of the numerous documents. We highly recommend him!

For a pleasant and professional experience choose Goose Changose at Natural State Law!

I do not recommend William “Goose” Changose based on my experience involving a family trust matter. In our case, he failed to follow the clear instructions of the competent settlor and trustee, declined to draft requested amendments, and appeared to favor the interests of one beneficiary over another. This conduct caused significant concern and loss of trust in his professional judgment and independence. Based on our experience, I would urge anyone considering his services to proceed with caution and to carefully document all communications.

My late brother, a resident of New York, left behind part-ownership of some Ozark property. But no will. I hadn't been in Arkansas in forty years. No idea where to start. Called Goose because he'd tun an Air Force Base! How could I not? His firm was amazing. From soup to nuts -- contracts, probate stuff, details, big picture, everything in between -- Natural State nailed it. I can't say it enough: Goose runs a superior shop. Awesome work. Thank you, sir. Just first-class work. Plus, he's a cool guy,

I used Mr. Changose to close out an Estate. His professionalism and gentle manner in explaining the process made this bearable. Everything happened within the time he stated. Because of his professionalism and knowledge this was truly a pleasant experience and a smooth transition. I cant thank him enough and I highly recommend his services.

William Changose worked with us on some real estate transactions over the past year and I highly recommend working with him and the team at Natural State Law! He provided strategic legal advice and had extensive practical experience with the ins and outs of the local jurisdictions. Even better, he did so with a common sense approach and sense of humor that made the entire process as smooth as it could be.

Attorney, William “Goose” Changose handled the Estate proceedings for my family. In very difficult and highly emotional times of suddenly losing a parent, Goose handled our estate with outstanding knowledge of the law, explaining the procedures clearly, highly professional in his communications with the family Executor, always available and quick to respond to the Executor, and sympathetic in our time of mourning. Our Estate was not a simple one to handle. It took 2 years for the estate to close due to a mistake by the family in choosing a previous attorney that had to be released due to “failure to communicate”. Once we found William Changose, things right away started to move in the right direction. He made it clear from the beginning that he would handle our legal issues as a priority and with excellent care. All the way through it all, Goose was ahead of the process and kept the family executor informed of every legal requirement as well as what’s ahead in the process. His obvious skill, knowledge, and professionalism helped bring a sense of peace to the family during a very turbulent occasion. I am very thankful that I went with William “Goose” Changose to handle this once in a lifetime very difficult family event. Without hesitation, I recommend William Changose to anyone who is trying to find the right attorney to handle their family estate legal issues. He is OUTSTANDING! You will be very pleased with your decision.

I highly recommend the Natural State Law Firm. Our attorney, Goose, was honest, knowledgeable, and respectful of all my concerns. He listened to me and helped me to understand the process. You can trust him.

I highly recommend William “Goose” Changose at Natural State Law, PLLC. Living in a different state meant there would be some challenges handling my property in Arkansas. I searched through several lawyers before finding William. He handled my case with exceptional care, professionalism, and transparency. What started as a seemingly straightforward matter quickly became more complex, but William ensured that I was informed every step of the way. I was needed up only requiring to make two trips to Arkansas which was outstanding! His knowledge of not only the law but also his expertise in navigating the judicial system was exceptional. His attention to detail and dedication gave me confidence throughout the process. If you're looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and provides top-notch legal expertise, William is the one to trust!

Hired Bill Godbold in January of 2025 for a demand letter (unpaid wages). Expressed concern that a mechanic's lien would likely be needed and that from my understanding, it needed to be filed in Arkansas within 120 days of the work being done. I was charged upfront for the demand letter along with an additional amount for a retainer. The demand letter was supposedly sent roughly 2 months later, but was unsuccessful. Found this out March 7th. Exchanged feedback, under the impression things were moving forward with mechanic's lien. Gave Bill over a month to get back to me (April 14th), but no response. Sent another follow up email (May 29th), but no response. The timeframe for filing a mechanic's lien has now expired and this firm is still holding onto my retainer. I basically spent $500 to not get paid the money I'm owed and to lose the chance to file a mechanic's lien. Incompetence and theft. Absolutely useless firm.
