Attorney at Law

Family is at the heart of everything we do. My wife, Yuliya, and I have been blessed to share 24 wonderful years of marriage. Yuliya is a Nurse Practitioner and the Director of Student Health and Wellness at Henderson State University, making a difference by helping the students at the University.. Her passion for helping others and her unwavering commitment to her profession is inspiring. Our daughter, Alexis, is pursuing her education at Henderson State University, following her dreams and making us incredibly proud. Our son, Aiden, brings energy and joy to our home as a student in the Arkadelphia Public School District.
 
As a family, we cherish spending time together, especially exploring the beauty of nature. Summers often find us hiking and biking the majestic mountains of Colorado or soaking up the sun at the beach, creating memories that last a lifetime. We are grateful for the love and adventures we share together and look forward to all that the future holds for our family.

About My Journey

My journey into law, particularly elder law and estate planning, began with a deeply personal experience involving my grandfather. He was a hardworking man who spent his life providing for his family and ensuring that his legacy would carry on after he was gone. His dedication to building a better future for our family inspired me to take on the responsibility of helping him plan for what would come next. Several years ago, he approached me for advice on organizing his estate. Recognizing the importance of preserving his legacy and ensuring his wishes were honored, I worked closely with a trusted attorney who specialized in elder law and estate planning. Together, we created a plan that included a trust, allowing his estate to transition seamlessly, avoiding probate and safeguarding his assets for future generations. When he passed away in August 2021, his wishes were carried out exactly as he hoped. To this day, my mom thanks me for helping him take those steps, which ultimately allowed my parents to purchase the farm they now live on — a lasting piece of his legacy that continues to enrich our family. This experience solidified my commitment to helping others protect what matters most to them. Estate planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming or confusing. My goal is to simplify the process for you, ensuring that your assets are protected, your loved ones are cared for, and your wishes are honored. With a well-crafted plan, I strive to provide peace of mind and clarity for you and your family. I’m not just your attorney — I’m someone who understands the importance of protecting the people and values you hold dear. My goal is to be a trusted partner in helping you create a secure and meaningful legacy for your family. Let’s work together to plan for tomorrow with confidence and peace of mind.

If you want an attorney who will represent you like family, you want Christopher Riddle. He approached my case with curiosity, care, compassion, and genuine empathy. And when it was time to defend me in court, he was ferocious! I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone I know.

When we first met Mr. Riddle, we were scared, confused and deeply hurt. He listened to all our concerns and took over the worry. He is an excellent attorney and we are so thankful we had him fighting for us!

I was broken when I found Chris. I had hired another law firm in El Dorado in 2024 to take care of my dads very small estate and the whole thing should have taken no longer than 90 days at the most and Chris said it could have been done in 30. So here we are 2.5 years later and its all over. Not because Chris was slow, because even after I fired the old firm they still continued to drag their feet on getting him what he needed to close this all out for me. He was so patient and understanding and he stood up for me with the other firm and they finally sent him what he needed to get it done. I would give him a 10/10 if I could. I can't recommend him enough. If you have even the simplest questions he is there for you, and if can't help you he will get you going in the right direction. He is honest and he listens to you and you won't ever feel like he has better things to do with his time. I can't say enough about this man. - Regina Blackwell
