"I had the pleasure of working with Arthur when he defended a municipality in a workers' compensation matter. He raised valid defenses and was very professional handling the matter. I highly endorse him as an intelligent and professional attorney."
"Arthur is the city attorney for two municipalities in the Mississippi Delta and has years of government law and public sector experience. He is also an excellent corporate lawyer with a strong background in business development. Arthur works to provide his clients with excellent service for a reasonable price - frequently undercutting the competition from the high rise overpriced law firms. As a business partner, he is reliable, open, honest, and makes the business aspect of law practice much easier through the use of time saving technology and modern day practices. I highly recommend Arthur for all your government and business development needs."
