Ludwig Law Firm, PLC

Gene Ludwig

Gene Ludwig graduated Summa Cum Laude from Southern Arkansas University. He received his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Michigan. In 1985, he left a prestigious insurance defense firm and opened Ludwig Law Firm PLC to represent victims and consumers. He has been practicing law for forty years. Gene has an outstanding record of legal achievements. In 2002, a jury awarded Gene’s client over $30 million against the Union Pacific Railroad. At the time, it was the largest known Arkansas punitive damage award ever upheld by the Arkansas Supreme Court and actually collected.


Gene has been a successful Arkansas legal innovator of nursing home class actions premised upon chronic understaffing. The Arkansas Supreme Court upheld key issues presented in a number of these successful causes of action. He continues to fruitfully represent clients in complex cases involving personal injury, trucking and automobile crashes, nursing homes, human trafficking, cryogenics, fire, land pollution, toxic torts, railroad grade crossings, go carts, product liability, hospital and insurance contracts, class actions, and mass torts. He has lectured at legal education seminars and has served as special judge in Little Rock District Court. He has twice been nominated National Trial Lawyer of the Year (2003 and 2006) and was also nominated Arkansas Trial Lawyer of the Year (2006).


In his spare time, he enjoys the blessings of his faith and family, nature, mountain and road biking, pickleball, and the amazing, unique scenery and sounds of any morning spent in Arkansas’ majestic winter swamps during waterfowl migration. These experiences are too often limited to hunters. “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” -John Muir
