About Robert M
Robert M Siddoway brings together formal training in law, business and human development. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Brigham Young University in 2006, an MBA in financial planning from California Lutheran University in 2009 and a Juris Doctor from the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University in 2015. Those academic stops make his path easy to trace. Each degree points to a different set of skills he still uses today.
Siddoway's undergraduate work in marriage, family and human development underpinned an early interest in how legal decisions affect families and individuals. He added business and financial planning to his toolkit with an MBA in 2009, then turned to law and finished his J.D. in 2015. He also holds certification as a Certified Financial Planner, a credential that ties his legal training to practical financial advice.
He established Tetrant Legal in 2016. The firm carries his imprint and reflects the mix of law and financial planning he pursued in school. In 2017 he worked as an associate lawyer at Dana & Associates. That stint gave him time inside a different practice structure and exposed him to the operational side of a mid-size firm.
Siddoway has been active in bar and professional groups since 2016. He is a member of the Maricopa County Bar Association and the American Bar Association. Those memberships keep him connected to peers and current professional discussions in Arizona.
Clients and colleagues describe his approach as methodical and detail-oriented. He draws on both the CFP credential and his legal education when he evaluates a client's position. The result is a practice style that blends legal analysis with practical financial considerations. He is comfortable explaining complex material in plain language, and he tends to favor straightforward options when they will serve a client's needs better than complex structures.
He practices in Arizona and maintains his office under the name Tetrant Legal. He currently focuses his practice on matters that sit at the intersection of law and financial planning.
