Excellent handling of my tenant issues!
I'm so glad I found Attorney Arnold. It was just an online search and sometimes you get lucky. Patrick is responsive, patient, and thorough. He explains issues and any legal implications in as much (or little) detail as one requires. I have a tenant problem (lack of rent payments, refusal to leave) that is still ongoing. At our first court hearing, Patrick got them to sign and honor an agreement to start paying immediately and to leave by a certain date. I'm happy to report that they DID make payments and they DID vacate the premises. I would not have been able to accomplish this on my own. My case continues, as there is still an issue of prior monies owed, but I'm very confident that a satisfactory resolution will be reached. Not only is Patrick extremely well-versed in the law and comfortable with the negotiations, but he was able to get my tenants OFF their BUTTS and he did it at an extremely affordable rate. I could not be happier with his services and highly enourage hiring him for your appropriate legal needs.

Awesome Experience
If you are reading this review because you are considering Patrick Arnold as your choice for legal representation I strongly recommend that you hire him and read this review. I was facing a possible 5 to 7 year prison sentence. To be honest things were looking pretty bleak. The County Attorney's Office was looking to play hardball but Patrick never even broke a sweat. The entire time Patrick remained upbeat and professional and looked at every single angle of the case. As for the outcome thanks to Patrick's diligence and leaving no stone unturned the DA's office went from offering me three years in prison with five years of probation as their initial plea offer to dismissing the charges entirely. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I had tried to represent myself or I didn't have Patrick's considerable attention to detail and no-nonsense approach to getting things done I would be sitting in a prison cell right now. Patrick also managed to do all of this while keeping my considerable levels of anxiety in check because he had a level of confidence in our case that made me feel completely at ease. Thank you so much Patrick!

Help with Divorce
Patrick helped my ex and I with filing divorce paperwork. I appreciated his down to earth nature and organization during the process. He was prompt with filing and communication and most the whole process go as smoothly as possible.

Patrick got my charges dropped! The absolute ideal outcome
While representing me, Patrick was professional, knowledgable, and easy to communicate with regarding my charges. Ultimately, he achieved the absolute ideal outcome and my charges were completely dropped. He was able to achieve this by my trial date and without me having to appear in court at all. I was beyond impressed by and grateful for the work he did with the prosecution. I would highly recdomend having him represent anybody facing criminal charges.

Eviction
I was contacted by Patrick through a website i had looked into when i was being evicted. Patrick made my experience stress free and handled everything from court docs to going right in front of the judge with patience and previous laws that helped me win my case against my landlord. I would have lost my apartment if it wasn't for Patrick and his hands on approach. he was by my side the whole time
