Reviews for Arthur
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Over more than a decade of representation Mr. Read demonstrated the highest level of competence, was always very responsive and was extremely aggressive on my behalf. On more than one occasion his forthright style of representation turned the tide to my benefit in an otherwise hopeless matter. He represented me personally and in several business ventures and always provided the highest quality legal advice. I continue to recommend Mr. Read to my friends and associates in need of good council.
Being a Real Estate Sales person I am often asked who I would recommend for closings and estate planning.Mr.Read is always on the top of my list. He is tenacious in his representation.I have worked with him both personally and professionally and have found him to be extremely effective.He is very responsive and always eager to help.
Intelligent, hard-working, and accommodating.
Mr. Read is a great attorney. Very professional and a straight shooter, he never fails to tell you the truth and in a manner that is direct and easy to understand. Mr. Read has a great reputation, evidenced by his rapport with the other attorneys and the Judges we worked with. Mr. Read also charges a very reasonable fees and I always felt that I was getting more for my money than I would have gotten at the big RI law firms for perhaps an even better service.
Mr. Read saw me through some trying times and was very sympathetic and kind.
Mr. Read got me out of a situation that could have ruined much of my business and financial career. His ability, skill, and overall persuasiveness as a lawyer made a potential case become whipped off the books. I have recommend friends and family to use Mr. Read's legal council because it has helped changed my life for the best.
Direct. Objective.
I was very grateful to have Arthur Read's advice while contemplating a real estate purchase in RI. I was able to avoid a significant loss due to issues arising from adverse possession.
He communicates very well with people. Understands the client's needs and respectively makes suggested avenues of approach.
ARTHUR IS AN EXCELLENT ATTORNEY. I HAVE USED HIS SERVICES FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS; HE IS ALWAYS RESPONSIVE AND PROFESSIONAL. THE GREAT THING ABOUT ART IS HE CAN ACCOMPLISH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ARTHUR READ AND HAVE SENT NUMEROUS CLIENTS TO HIM.
