For more than 25 years, Arthur has handled high profile cases at the investigative, trial and appellate levels, including a famous win for NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, and obtaining a full acquittal of William Rapetti in the New York City crane collapse case.
