Stephen is the consummate professional and his monumental knowledge of case-law and intellectual property is only matched by his ardor for justice and fairness. He helped us prevail in a case where one of us had substantially contributed to the creative and programming facets of a joint software venture, only to be left out of the mix once the public launch was commenced. Stephen's moves were incisive, anticipatory, and thorough, swiftly bringing about an amicable request for resolution from opposing counsel, who found themselves facing a Hobson's choice after speaking to Stephen. He is at the top of his field.

Talented, focused and charming, the McArthur firm clearly understand the copyright process and made it easy for me and my team to stay focused on development.

Stephen was outstanding in helping our indie game startup with all our IP and related startup needs. He is also a great pleasure to work with. I could not recommend more highly!

Stephen gave fast respond on our request. He is precise, sharp and know exactly what is the possibility and outcome. I will recommend him and will definitely a person you can trust and work long term with.

I'm the CEO of Zafty Games. Stephen acts as our general counsel answering all of our legal questions about intellectual property and licensing. His in-depth knowledge, quick communication, impressive experience have allowed Zafty to deftly negotiate licenses with companies who have hired much larger law firms as counsel. He has always been quickly responsive to my emails and accessible on short notice, despite living on an opposite coast. And his competence is the best I’ve come across in the legal field. I look forward to continuing our professional relationship for many more years.

As a business owner and artist, working with Stephen was one of the best decisions I've made to date. Thanks to Stephen's efficient and effective legal counsel, what started out as a stressful copyright infringement was successfully resolved in a way that even exceeded my perceived best-case-scenario outcome. In addition, he educated me about my rights and how to protect my work. If you're looking for a smart, fair, and trustworthy lawyer, I wholeheartedly recommend Stephen.
