May Firm

Robert May founded the May Firm on the core principles he learned growing up in a loving, hard-working, blue-collar family in Santa Maria. The lessons he learned from his parents are abundantly apparent in the day-to-day operation of his firm. They instilled in Robert and his four siblings the sincere desire to help people to the best of their ability. By example and by encouragement, Robert’s parents also taught Robert and his siblings the value of a solid work ethic.

Robert’s father, a concrete salesman, took exceptionally good care of his customers, treating each one like family and always going the extra mile to help them with whatever problem they had. Robert and his brothers follow in their father’s footsteps in the personal and exceptionally dedicated way they take care of their clients at the May Firm.
