Great Lawyer

It is uplifting to find an attorney who really cares about his clients. I found Arnold to be very conscientious, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He listened attentively, and provided guidance and genuine advice. I found his follow-up to be excellent and timely. I highly recommend him.

Expert in his field!

I contacted Arnold for estate planning advice and was blown away with not only his strong expertise in the area but just how kind and compassionate he was! He is very different than the majority of attorneys I contacted that weren't interested in answering my questions over the phone and were mostly ...interested in having me come so they could bill me for their time. I strongly recommend Arnold if you are looking for an experienced attorney in the area of estate planning and foreclosure defense!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
