Chisenhall, Nestrud & Julian (CNJ) is a full service law firm that provides legal services to individuals and business organizations. In 1989, Larry Chisenhall, Chuck Nestrud & Jim Julian envisioned a better way to serve their clients and formed CNJ. The vision continues today in providing excellent representation for the firm’s clients.

Since its formation, CNJ has grown from a relatively small area of practice to a large field including: environmental, insurance defense, real estate, toxic tort, employment, corporate and commercial transactions, utility, and litigation. The quality of CNJ’s representation has been widely recognized through its clients, including nationally based and locally owned corporations. CNJ has defended both insured and self-insured claims, conducted complex business litigation, negotiated complex corporate and commercial transactions, and handled multifaceted utility law matters. The firm’s environmental practice has long been acknowledged as the leader in Arkansas.

Personal relationships are important to CNJ. The firm’s small size ensures that CNJ is able to tailor its services to each client individually and that every client can deal directly with a partner or senior level attorney.

CNJ combines the services and qualifications of a large law firm with the personal attention and relationships of a small law firm. The fulfillment of a vision of three attorneys to provide excellent representation for the firm’s clients makes CNJ one of the preeminent law firms of Arkansas.
