He has represented families across the United States in the actions described above. To Bob, “family lawyer” does not mean a lawyer who represents a husband or wife going through a marital dispute. Rather, a “family lawyer” is a lawyer who has the grave responsibility of regaining the family dignity that existed before a tragedy occurred and getting the family justice and economic freedom.Bob takes his career as a plaintiff lawyer very seriously but does not take himself very seriously.Bob grew up in Portland, Oregon in a loving family where his dad never graduated from high school and his mom’s highest education was high school. His family had very few possessions and no money. He had a paper route and did lawn jobs until age 14. Then, he got a job as a bag boy at an Albertson’s grocery store. He worked full-time in the store starting his sophomore year in high school. By age 16 Bob achieved journeyman status in the union as a checker and working the produce department. As a junior, the store put Bob in charge of night stock two days a week which did not help his high school grades. Bob says he got his “MBA” by the time he graduated from high school as he learned so much from his coworkers and supervisors who were years older. He would not change this crucible of “hard work to survive” for anything – it taught him how to achieve any goal.Bob’s other interests also include ownership of Tournesol Winery and vineyards in Napa with his wife, Anne. In 1998, they purchased their dream Napa Valley property and planted 15 acres the following year. They have a passion for sharing food and wine with friends and family and enjoy their agricultural connection to the earth. Bob and his wife have a son and daughter and four grandchildren. He spends as much time as possible with them. He is involved in numerous civic, charitable, athletic and educational programs.

ProprietorTournesol Wine Jan 1998 - PresentNapa County, California, United StatesProprietors Anne and Bob Arns envisioned a small vineyard estate focusing on Bordeaux varietals over 40 years ago. With a keen interest in wine, they were both very inspired by the now famous “Judgment of Paris" tasting that took place in 1976, when California wines were rated above their French counterparts. The Arns look back at that hallmark year as the beginning of their quest to produce world class wine. Established in 1998, Tournesol has produced distinctive wines from their estate vineyards in southeastern Napa. The Proprietor's Blend is a unique, elegant wine that represents the best combination of grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Vertot, and Malbec. Tournesol vineyards are located in Napa Valley's Coombsville AVA. This geographical location and terrain create a unique microclimate within the Napa Valley, where Tournesol's 20 acres of vineyards lie on a gently sloping bench 300 feet above the valley floor. The southern edge of the property is bordered by Murphy Creek while the northern edge includes Lake Louise, fed by Witweather Creek. Tournesol vines enjoy a perfect exposure to the sun with cool breezes from San Francisco Bay providing ideal growing temperatures. The volcanic composition of this soil produces muscular Bordeaux varietal wines that express its distinctive terroir. -
