Will, Trusts and advice.

I can't say enough about my experience working with the law firm of Fred Arquila. He created our trust and then walked me thru settlement after my husband died. He and his staff patiently answered our questions and addressed our concerns . I would always give him 5 stars.

Amazing Lawyer

I worked with Fred Arquilla and Hana Zekrya at Arquilla Law, PLC to get divorced from my former spouse. Fred is an expert at military matters which was important since my former spouse was in the military and this makes for a more complex divorce. Fred and Hana always responded to me in a timely mann...er, made sure I understood everything and answered any questions I had. I felt completely safe and that my needs were met by this law firm’s services. I ended up getting exactly what I wanted in the divorce settlement and I would work with Fred and Hana again. I highly recommend Arquilla Law, PLC.

Winning, Honest, Consciences, and Humble Legal Team

Fred and his team are seasoned professionals. I had multiple issues with a vindictive woman and we were awarded the divorce (even though the Ex bought suit), We won a Custody Battle when the Ex wanted to pull my children out of state, and the Team just got my Ex to sign a $40,000 2 party IRS check t...hat she refused to sign for 6 months. I can't say enough good things about this team. This is the place to go to find an honest, consciences, and humble Legal Team!!

Knowledgable Advocate with Great Experience

Divorce is not a pleasant process, but with Fred's representation I knew I had a solid advocate who would be compassionate toward me but would also provide blunt, pragmatic advice when I needed it. He helped me through the process, and along the way demonstrated that his long experience has provided ...him with insights into how the "other side" will behave that I would not have received from a lesser attorney. Fred's knowledge of military processes and how the law applied to military couples was invaluable in my case as well.

Divorce

After my ex-wife and I separated, I contacted Fred upon a referral from a relative. Being separated from my wife and facing a potential divorce was a most trying and emotional time for me. I had no real idea of what was involved in a divorce proceeding. Fred was very understanding and empathetic t...o my situation, provided me with sound advice, and helped me proceed one step at a time, recognizing that reconciliation with my wife was still a hope for me. When it was apparent that a divorce was going to be the outcome, Fred guided me through each step of the process. During the six months that I was separated from my wife, Fred provided me with wise counsel, fully explaining available options, in response to developing situations/difficult interactions with my wife that ensued. In following Fred's expert legal advice as we collaborated on the "Separation and Property Settlement Agreement", I was able to minimize the financial impact of the divorce proceeding. I highly recommend Fred if you find yourself in a situation where you are facing a potential divorce and need the legal services of someone you can trust and have full confidence in their expertise and legal advice. Fred and his team are consummate professionals.

  • 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.
