We will work with you directly, creating cost effective strategies and educating you on the legal principles that apply to your particular business or endeavor. Working with ARC Law Group is also a lot of fun. Refuting the notion that attorneys have to be stuffy and dry, we try not to take ourselves too seriously, instead, believing that creativity is fostered in a vibrant, fun and relaxed atmosphere. Feel free to give us a call or send us an email. It would be our pleasure to tell you more about what we do and learn about your great ideas, too. Let's set up a time to grab coffee or lunch at one of our favorite local spots (or you might even convince Mark to take you to a Giants game).
