Robert Arnold’s Bio
I’m here to help business owners do business so they can make more money and achieve their other business goals.
For the past 28 years I’ve been a business lawyer on the Monterey Peninsula. Previously, I was a shareholder at a well-respected, full-service firm in Monterey. In 2012 I opened my own firm in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea to focus on serving the legal needs of business owners.
Before becoming a lawyer, I was a strategic planning executive at a top-ten national credit card bank headquartered in Salinas.
I’ve helped some great people with their companies, deals, contracts, real estate transactions, and employees, and if the fit’s right, I’d love to help you too. Take a look at the services I can provide and the industries I’ve worked with and contact me about how I can help you achieve your business goals.

Family & Interests
My wife and I live in Carmel with our dog. We have two sons—both of whom graduated from Santa Clara University and are starting their careers. We love taking long walks surrounded by the natural beauty of the Monterey Peninsula. Besides family, my interests include literature, philosophy, politics, basketball, and a few other sports I’m not very good at anymore.
