Ms. Arthur possesses wisdom that goes far beyond her years. I worked closely with Ms. Arthur for over a year and she consistently delivered. She delivered patience, dedication, and knowledge. Not only did I feel totally confident in Ms. Arthur’s abilities to deliver the result I was hoping for, but... she actually made the legal process enjoyable. There is no doubt that Ms. Arthur will have a thriving career and you would be wise to select her for your side!

Child Custody/Divorce Case

I can't say enough wonderful things about Attorney Arthur. My case was a highly contested and extremely long and painful case. Under previous representation, my case dragged on and on without resolve. My case was so unjust, others in the legal system couldn't believe it…however, they wouldn't touc...h me because of my lack of funds. Attorney Arthur and her firm BELIEVED in me and my case and my children. Ms. Arthur fought day and night for me and my children. This relatively young attorney went up against some of the most well known firms in Chicago and every single time, it was amazing to watch. I believe they were all a little surprised that someone so young usually ended up knowing more than these seasoned attorneys because SHE PAID ATTENTION and was always prepared. She knew every nuance of my case and her knowledge of case law was amazing. I can't tell you how much that meant in my trial. Long story short, Attorney Arthur’s quest for justice and child safety doesn’t stop. In one third of the time I was represented by others and one tenth of the cost due to her efficiency and no-nonsense style, she took me to trial and we won sole custody. My children and I will never be able to repay this unbelievable attorney and person. If she believes in you and your case like she did mine... there is no stopping this woman in her pursuit of justice. If you need to fight for your children and your rights, there is no better attorney.

Amazing Expierience

About a year and a half ago, i used Mary Emily Arthur's expertise in a matter that had to deal with gender and sexual orientation discrimination against myself. After speaking with Emily, and following her thorough advice, We proceeded with my case. I did end up settling the case for a lot more tha...n i could have ever imagined. Ms. Arthur's knowledge, professionalism, and availability were amazing. I keep her card in my wallet at all times for any time i may need to use her services. I have recommended her to numerous friends and family, and i foresee her becoming very well known!
