How did she pass bar exam is a mystery like the Bermuda Triangle

I will get straight to the point Only cares how fast you can pay her but when it comes down to court apperences she’s always late where the judge scolds her then she is totally unprepared again scolded by same judge (every court apperence) She makes it seem like it’s your fault! She treats you with n...o dignity or respect. She has no communication until minutes before she’s walking up the stairs from the subway gasping for air becuase she’s late. She stutters or cannot answer correctly to the judge as if she blanks out making it into a awkward situation and only annoying the judge. The ONLY reason I hired her was becuase she was referred by my attorney in Florida. One day she’s a family law attorney next she is immigration attorney tries to be a jack of all trades but she’s definitely a master at none. She has accomplished ZERO for me and I’m worse situation now and lost a lot of money. I could of chargedback and disputed but it seems she needs the money more than me and I’m a single father of 4 children. Please run for youlife away from this chick. it was like I was in the twilight zone with her. I’m so upset she had a chance to make things right from her screwups instead sends me a new invoice! I asked her in good faith can she at least file to contest the judges decision based on her own damage before I pay her again since she screwed it up .......all I hear to this day is crickets and the time frame to contest has passed. For the love of God please run from this attorney she’s a complete joke to the profession.

It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the particulars of any one case in a public forum and this answer should not be construed as commenting on any one case. Our ability to represent clients requires the full participation of those we are attempting to assist. Accordingly, meeting financial commitments to the law firm, returning telephone calls to the office, providing crucial legal documents and actually appearing at Court Appearances when ordered to are necessary components of a successful family law case. Your Florida attorney referred you to me because I am well respected in the profession.

Prayers Work!

Ms. Belinda Arevalo was sent into my life at the most traumatic point. My peace, in the newest part of my life with my child, was interrupted one night when an officer knocked on my door and served me with a Writ of Habeas Corpus. It stated that I had to return to my previous home state, with my c...hild, within 24 hours or I would be arrested. After legally relocating, I was completely distraught to even think I had broken the law but to an even greater degree, that my child’s life will have to be uprooted again. The school that he had grown to love, his new set of friends that he constantly spoke positively of, my new and exciting career, expansive living space that both of us had dreamed of, the safe neighborhood that I had prayed for – ALL would be taken away in approximately 24-48 hours. There is absolutely nothing I can compare that would equally measure how I felt. After a new prayer request and one conversation with Ms. Arevalo, I felt confident that we would prevail! She had no worries which absolutely helped during that time of crisis. The following day, Ms. Arevalo put her skills and talent to work in the court. Due to her determination and in-depth knowledge of the law that was clearly displayed, the judge, that my child and I were to report to, dismissed that writ! Appearing electronically while standing in front of a notary in my new home state, my hands were raised to God as that was my way to keep from screaming - VICTORY! We achieved exactly what we set out to do! Ms. Arevalo claimed the triumph and it happened. A huge WIN for my son and I!!! I can’t yell it enough - THANK GOD & THANK YOU SO MUCH MS. AREVALO!

The Perfect Blend of Professionalism and Personal Concern

I was referred to Attorney Arevalo by my daughter, an attorney in Fort Lauderdale. From the moment we spoke, on the telephone, and later, in person, I knew that the proper connection had been made. Despite title or status, divorce is usually an uncomfortable process. Luckily for me, it was made mini...mally painful by the expertise of my attorney and her staff, and the willingness of the other party to proceed without rancor. My case was a bit different because the other party was in another state, Nevertheless, the staff guided me every step of the way, from initial signing, to process serving, to final judgement. They entertained all calls, kept me updated, and were in general, well worth the fee exacted. Not only would I use her again (although not for this matter!), but I would recommend her highly to friends, colleagues and patients. Bernadette

Family Child support

Mrs Belinda Arevalo is the best family lawyer in my judgment. If you require the best lawyer working on your case, she’s the one. She provides professional advices on the subject. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in the subject area. From the first conversation, she correctly predicted what... to foresee in my case. Her expertise gave me confidence to continue, directly after I talked with her. She is very supportive and handles the procedure smoothly. She impressed me not only with the professionalism, but also with the artistic production of communication as an outstanding attorney. I wish that I came to her earlier for professional assistance on my other family topics. That could have saved tons of sleepless nights and grey hairs. I sure am glad I found her.

A Dedicated Advocate in Ms. Arevalo

I have to first say. In my opinion. An attorney needs to have understanding, compassion and dedication. Ms. Arevalo represents all three. She represented me in a hearing where my ex wife was seeking an upward modification. Which she seems to like to do more often then she should. Ms. Arevalo found la...nguage in the agreement that aided me greatly. She made sure we were prepared and I was properly prepped before our appearance. Which I have to say in my experience. Lawyers don't always do. Ms. Arevalo treats her clients like there her only clients. And does not wait days to return emails or call. Always get a quick response answering my questions thoroughly. She's an A+ attorney that I highly recommend.
