Very Knowledgeable, Attentive and Detailed Attorney!

It was a pleasure to work with Attorney Robert Arthur. I needed an attorney to advise me for a local production company that did filming on my property without my knowledge or approval. Attorney Arthur was extremely knowledgeable, and made sure that I understood the “gray area” of the law. He listene...d very attentively, without interruption to make sure he had a thorough understanding of the issue at hand; and then reiterated what I was looking for.. He then explained in great detail what the law allows, and next steps. Attorney Arthur then sent out detailed correspondence to opposing counsel and myself, after every conversation we had. Attorney Arthur was always responsive to my phone calls, texts, and email. I highly recommend working with Attorney Arthur. Some attorneys do not feel the need to communicate the law to their clients level of understanding. Some also fail to keep clients informed of their case details, step-by-step. This was not the case with Attorney Arthur, and he exceeded my expectations.

5 stars! Outstanding advocate.

Robert did an excellent job negotiating my prenup. He was a smart and aggressive advocate, communicative, had a flexible schedule, and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend him!

Going the Extra Mile! Simply Kind!

Recently, I hired Attorney Robert McMillan Arthur to help me with a couple of legal matters on my FMLA and obtaining guardianship for my brother. My experience with him was a positive one. What stood out the most was that he was kind in working with my family and me. And that simple kindness in th...at first interaction with him helped me in making the decision to hire him. I just knew that he was the right lawyer to help us. When my mother and I first met with him for the initial consultation, he showed genuine concern for my legal issues by actively listening. He took the time to explain guardianship and the process in obtaining it. And throughout the process, he was patient and thorough in answering all our questions. For my FMLA issue, I needed supporting document for my Family Medical Leave of Absence in taking care of my brother after hospitalization, so Attorney Robert McMillan Arthur obtained the proof of guardianship by filing the guardianship forms on my brother immediately. Also, he took care of faxing the proof of guardianship document and communicating with my employer on my FMLA issue. This really helped me tremendously, in that, my FMLA was then approved with the supporting document that he submitted on my behalf. And with the guardianship, there were numerous documents that had to be completed and filed with the court. It involved having to file these documents in person at the courthouse on several visits; and he filed these guardianship documents timely so that we were able to proceed with the temporary and permanent guardianship hearings as scheduled. Also, he prepared my family and me for the hearings so that we can be ready and confident in testifying at the hearings. He made everything seamless from my FMLA to obtaining guardianship. I did not worry about anything knowing that he was working to help me with my legal matters. Moreover, he is highly knowledgeable and an expert in his law practice. He delivers exemplary work in law. His work is impressive. Quality, Excellence, and Professionalism shows through in his work, communication, and interaction with people as he did with my family and me. Overall, he delivered high quality work in helping me with my legal matters by going the extra mile. I am happy and completely satisfied with the legal services he provided as the results achieved on my FMLA and guardianship are positive. I would recommend Attorney Robert McMillan Arthur to others who need and is seeking legal assistance as he is a Top Attorney who cares about his clients in achieving desirable results. I have complete confidence and trust working with him. We greatly benefited from the elite legal services he provided in our case; and I am immensely thankful to him. Thank you so much!

We're a local band that was given a contract agreement to go pursuit music full time. We needed help since we've never ventured in this area before. Contacted Robert and he called us back right away. He helped us out tremendously. Was very kind and knowledgeable.
