Client Testimonials

Deanne Arthur is like a quiet tiger in the storm--calm, strategic, and relentless. She was my second attorney in a complex case involving international law, and she cut through the noise, closed loopholes I hadn't even considered, and kept the court focused on facts and not family law politics. If you need a lawyer who stays steady under pressure and fights smart, she's the one.
