James Long
Attorney
“I’ve been on the other side representing the interests of the world’s largest corporations where legal battles are merely a line item in the budget, just a cost of doing business. But for our team at Arnold & Itkin, it’s deeply personal. It’s not just about settlements or verdicts; it’s about standing up for what’s right and making a tangible difference in the lives of the people we serve—no matter what.”
