Delivered as promised!

Not being a resident of NY, I reached out to Blinda Arevalo in hopes she could fully represent me, in my family court case. I chose her because of her established presence there in the NY area and excellent track record. The added bonus was that she was bi-lingual, pleasant and thoughtful. I did ...not speak Spanish but this was a necessity in achieving success for my case. I put my trust in Belinda's expertise and was not disappointed. She and her legal staff was able to explain what I was up against and estimate the time and cost to have a successful outcome. She and her legal staff worked with me every step in gathering and preparing the necessary documents to fight my case with confidence. She explained legal terms and answered every question that plagued my conscience. Having the knowledge to succeed is a good thing, but also having the ability to use this knowledge is a gift. I am forever grateful that my attorney, Belinda Arevalo courageously represented me and saved me from a pack of deceitful lies which could have damaged my reputation, work and life. God bless you Belinda!

OUTSTANDING SERVICE to ACTIVE MILITARY

My case: I am active duty military (US.NAVY), have served 17 years, currently living and station on a ship in Naval Station Norfolk VA. I have been station oversea, and deploy and never missed a child support payment, the child’s mother took all contact away trying to separate me from the child and n...ow trying to take sole custody of him. She took phone contact, social media and moved to New York State, I have not seen my child for 3 years. The child’s mother took me to court, I appeared court and her attorney and judge was asking me lots of questions I could not understand but one. “Do you want to represent your self or get an attorney”. I prayed, wanted to make sure I get an Attorney that will be capable of representing me while away on military duties and living in the state of Virginia, someone that will give me assurance that will win this case and looked at reviews on line. • First day before i stepped inside court, Ms Belinda asked me,” When and where do you want to pick him up”. YES that happened! She successfully has reunited me with my son, who shed tears, as he saw me pick him up at school for the first time in his life. • Highly involve, loves her job, she is family oriented. I don’t feel like a client i feel like a member of AREVALO LAW. Even thought I live in the state of Virginia I am represented at court, and all for my favor. • The other attorney had to agree on all she said at court; her presence is dominant at court she sets the tone. I got all I wanted…. • I had previous bad experiences with Attorneys not answering phone calls BUT MS Belinda Arevalo and her team will keep me inform , answer all phone calls, and text messages. She ensures I got all court documentation, visitation, child school information through AREVALO LAW application online or got me all documentation right after court. • I have decided to fight custody and she is presenting my case, I have no doubt that I will have the case to my favor! I highly recommend MS Belinda Arevalo, her presence is dominant at court, she sets the stage and standards, she is always ready and had all the answers for the judge, I had to say nothing at court, and she represented me flawlessly. She knows all avenues to my favor and she receives my strongest recommendation.

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!

Family Offense

Ms. Arelvalo is a Gem a blessing from God. I had a serious case that I could of lost my job and my Military career. The false accusations against me got me really nervous but Ms. Arevalo kept me in good faith and stood by me every step of the way. Ms. Arelvalo knows what she is doing I thought it was... over for me but at the end we were the ones on top and got my Order of protection dismissed. I thank Ms. Arevalo for her experience and knowledge fear is not in her book and she will never let you down she will fight to the end to get the justice you deserve.
