Posted by Sherwood | March 22, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Business

Very valuable resource for our long term business

My business has used Mr. Arter for over a decade and we will continue to do so for his expert and valuable guidance. He has provided legal help on contract law, corporate formations, overseas development, purchase of buildings, insurance interpretations related to liability, indemnity, and more. Mr.... Arter is very fair about his time and energy. He is one of the few lawyers, among the countless I've worked with, where I wonder if we actually paid him enough; and that is the kind of legal counsel you want, one who provides expert knowledge, recognizes the long term value of the relationship and who you know will always have your long term business interests and relationship in mind. Mr. Arter is definitely a five star resource.

Diligent and Professional. A True Fiduciary.

Our company has hired Chet many times over the past 10 years to draft, review and negotiate business contracts on our behalf. Chet is particularly skilled at identifying potentially risky clauses and shoring those up. He's also an excellent win-win negotiator who understands how to protect our inte...rests while also accommodating our clients' and partners' critical objectives. We continue to entrust Chet with virtually all our contract work and he comes with my highest recommendation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
