Gary Lee Arthurs - Counselor at Law
A Renaissance Man is a term highlighting someone with well-rounded, extensive knowledge across many fields, reminiscent of figures like Leonardo da Vinci. While I may not be Leonardo da Vinci, I am well rounded in the law I am also have applied knowledge in finance, accounting, quantitate economics, physics, computer science and mathematics. I am a proud graduate of Texas A&M Law School with multiple degrees (BA and MS) from West Texas A&M University and The University of Texas at Dallas.
My education consists of my undergraduate in business administration in economics and finance in 1997 and a Masters of quantitate economics from West Texas A&M in 1999.
I moved to Dallas in the spring of 2000 after college to work as a analyst at a large Dallas manufacturing corporation. I had always had a passion and dream of attending law school, so I started in the fall of 2001 at what was then Texas Wesleyan University, soon to become Texas A&M University, School of Law at the time. I am not an individual who is afraid of putting in the work for a dream, so worked during the day and attended classes in the evening.
My education did not stop with the law degree. I enjoy taking classes at the junior college level. Additionally, I have completed my BS in Computer Science at University of Texas at Dallas.
Currently, working on a Master of Laws (L.LM.) in Risk Management at Texas A&M University, School of Law to be completed the fall of 2026.
