A win for Monty.

The Dross law firm helped us with a civil case regarding our family pet and we were facing eviction and the dross firm stepped in and immediately gathered details and went to work. With in a matter of weeks our case was dismissed our pet application was approved by the management company as they thor...oughly represented my family and helped us get through this rough time the management company was giving us. I highly recommend The Dross firm for any landlord tenant issues. Thank you to Arique and his team of law professionals.

Amazing attorney!

Mr. Dross is one of the best attorneys I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He is patient, knowledge, and ALWAYS reachable. He was always prepared in court and was very accurate in his predictions about the moves of the opposing counsel. He’s a family man and throughout the process I could tel...l his work is his PASSION. I went from having a false DV claim filed against me, being arrested for said false claim, losing all visitation with my kids to a full dismissal and complete freedom with my children! It was due to the incredible work of Mr. Dross!

Attorney Arique Dross-"Heart & Heat"

Attorney Arique Dross represented me and walked me through an harassment charge I had against a family member. He fought for me and was extremely assertive with the opposing counsel. In addition to being assertive and a fierce opponent, he is also an incredible father, husband and family man. He has ...heart at home and heat in the court room. What more can I say? Thank you Attorney Arique Dross.

Mr.Dross is the best!

If I could give Mr. Dross 100 stars I would. He recently helped me with a complicated custody battle. He is a great lawyer and was always there for me. He helped me immensely and was so generous with his time. He always responded to me when I had a question, listened to me and gave me intelligent adv...ice. I felt cared for and protected with him as my lawyer. Thank you Mr.Dross for everything!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
