Kevin Hickey is known as a fair, yet aggressive, attorney. His method is to always seek a peaceful settlement and only use the court system as a last resort. He says, "Clients want a solution, not an extended and expensive legal battle - if you can reach a resolution without involving the courts, it is better for everyone concerned. However, if going to court is the only answer, then you have to be aggressive."
Integrity, persistence, attention to detail, and excellent client communication have all been cited by his clients as strengths.

Kevin lives in Fort Smith with his wife Sylvia and their three boys: Robert Reed (age 13), Reagan Connor (age 11) and Halston Ridge (age 3). They attend Grace Community Church in Fort Smith.
