About Gary
Gary DeWitt built a career that bridges technical training and legal study. He began his higher education at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, earning a B.S. in Business Administration in 1986 and a second B.S. in Computer Science in 1991. Years later he turned to law, completing a J.D. at the University of Arkansas - Fayetteville in 2011 and an LL.M. in Estate Planning and Elder Law from Western New England University School of Law in 2014.
Those academic choices shaped the work he pursued after law school. The LL.M. provided concentrated classroom study on wills, trusts, probate and the statutory and regulatory issues that affect older adults. His earlier technical background gives him a different angle on documents and record-keeping. He combines that training with practical legal education to approach estate matters methodically and with attention to detail.
DeWitt is admitted to practice in Arkansas. Public listings indicate an ongoing membership in professional organizations that serve elder law practitioners. He joined the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) in 2014 and remains a member. That connection signals a sustained interest in policy, ethics and practice issues affecting older clients and their families.
His work has centered on the kinds of tasks common to estate and elder law practices: drafting wills and trusts, advising on powers of attorney and health care directives, and guiding families through probate and guardianship matters. The record-keeping and analytical skills from his earlier degrees inform how he structures client documents. He approaches traditional estate planning problems with an eye toward clarity. He also pays attention to the procedural steps that follow when a client dies or becomes incapacitated.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and practical in managing files and client expectations. He avoids unnecessary complexity. Client conversations tend to be direct and aimed at making options clear. He has kept current on elder law issues through his NAELA involvement and formal graduate study.
As of 2026, he practices in Arkansas and concentrates on estate planning and elder law matters.
