About Arnold
Biography
My goal is to continue practicing law for as long as I continue to enjoy it. Some of my greatest pleasures are in counseling clients regarding their business and personal affairs where I often am able to solve important problems for clients. In the event I do not have the expertise for solving their problems, most often I am able to guide them to one or more appropriate persons who can do so.
There is not a single label for my law practice. My law practice consists of business transactions, tax planning and resolution of tax disputes, estate planning and probate. In that context I prepare and review numerous contracts ranging from pre-nuptial agreements to real estate purchases and sales, business purchases and sales, financing, leases, franchise documents and others. In both the business transaction context and in estate planning, I may form, restructure or dissolve entities, prepare trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and other business, estate planning and tax planning documents.
Assisting clients in the administration of the estate of a deceased loved one often involves many areas of law including those noted above. Likewise, assisting people with conservatorships and guardianships of people who have become disabled or unable to manage their own affairs is sometimes an appropriate or necessary undertaking.
Building long lasting professional relationships with clients has provided me with wonderful personal and professional rewards

Rude and constantly interrupts; very poor listening skills
Very rude and constantly interrupted; very poor listening skills during our consultation. Spoke in a denigrating manner which was very demeaning and upsetting. Attorneys apparently do not realize that a consultation is actually a job interview for them, and if they are rude to a potential client they...

Replied last April 27, 2017Ms. Angela, I greatly regret that I upset you and that I came off as being rude, and I sincerely apologize. That is not my way of dealing with people. You are correct that a phone consultation is a "job interview". It is my policy to be considerate of all who contact me, and I strive to be that way. If our conversation occurred earlier this week, then I think that I remember it and would welcome the opportunity to discuss it further with you by phone and to explain what was happening. You may reach me at 865-524-0510 ext. 108.

Mr. Cohen and Glenda were on top of my Mother's estate for the 2 years that it took. She had great confidence in them for the years that she was alive. Mr. Cohen had become a family friend. Glenda always knew where we were in the timeline of things and expenses. Professional.

Mr. Cohen showed compassion and understanding for my situation and got back to me in a timely manner. He looked beyond the initial question and was kind enough to be concerned for my safety and e-mailed me telephone numbers for area shelters. Thank you again Mr. Cohen
