Helped me with my small business stress

Simply put, I knew I needed help making sure my business was in good legal standing because I had moved from another state and neglected to take care of things right away. Because my business is new, and I'd never personally dealt with any of its legalities, I was incredibly stressed and overwhelmed ...by the process. I wanted to find someone who would look at everything I had, tell me what needed to happen next, and help me make that happen. Robert did just that. He was attentive, responsive, friendly and prompt. He was upfront and honest about what I would be paying and I felt completely at ease knowing things were being taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends or family.

Empowering and Knowledgeable

Robert Arthur is a very knowledgeable, insightful and helpful attorney. Using his incredible gift of communication, he takes complicated laws and articulates them in a way that makes them easy to understand. One thing that really struck me is that he is an amazing listener. He really wants to hear ...your thoughts and ideas before finding the strategic solution that best fits the situation at hand. For example, I went to see Robert because I either wanted to form a non-profit or an LLC. He listened to my vision and mission and helped me find the best solution that would fit my current needs but would allow room for expansion in the future. He returns calls and emails in a timely fashion. He is trustworthy and when you meet with him you will feel safe, validated and empowered to move forward. He possesses a rare combination of strength, compassion, and integrity.

Knowledgeable and Responsive

I was referred to Robert through a work associate and needed his assistance in clearing up some wrongfully owed taxes. Robert had a great handle on the situation, even though the tax issue was in another state and involved statutes and laws of several different entities. I felt very comfortable that ...he would handle the situation, and he did 100%. I was able to focus on my work and family and not have to fret about whether the situation would be resolved. I would highly recommend Robert as an attorney to anyone. He has great attention to detail and I felt like he genuinely cared about my situation.

First experience using a lawyer and what a wonderful experience it was.

Robert is the first lawyer I've ever needed and I didn't know what to expect really. He has been so wonderful to work with and he really works hard in preparing you for whatever might be thrown your way. Robert was always very prompt on getting meetings set and documents taken care of. If I ever need...ed a lawyer again I would without a doubt use Robert Arthur. Robert truly cares about his clients and that made me so confident when in court.

Posted by David | April 22, 2015 | Entertainment

Robert Arthur is an expert on Copyright and Intellectual Property

After a recent conference with Robert Arthur, I was impressed with his grasp on entertainment law. Not only did he answer my questions and explain my situation, but he anticipated further solutions and opened my eyes to other facets of copyright/IP that I was not aware of. His willingness to do furth...er research and walk me through the processes he described is a testament to the integrity of his practice. I would highly recommend Robert Arthur's counsel to anyone in need of legal advice, especially in the nebulous world of entertainment law.
