Matthew Robert Arnold

We researched carefully before choosing Matt Arnold and his team, and we were not disappointed. They delivered time and again in spite of a difficult case. I would and do recommend Matt to anyone needing assistance with family law matters.

Matt and his staff are second to none!! I was dealing with a custody situation with my daughter that was frustrating to say the least! I was upfront and honest about my situation, and Matt was the same with me 100% of the time! Matt, Ashley, and Joanna were spot on when it came to filing papers and meeting deadlines, communicating new issues, and guiding me in the right direction of what I needed to do. This was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to deal with, and they were with me every step of the way! I got exactly what I wanted in custody with my daughter, and we settled out of court in mediation. I consulted with at least a half a dozen different attorneys before I found Arnold & Smith. Do yourself a favor and save time and money, go directly to Arnold & Smith with your legal needs! You can trust them!! #enoughsaid #micdrop

Matt Arnold and Ashley Crowder exemplify what every Family Law lawyer should aspire to be which is professional, focused, tenacious and human. My custody case treaded into unchartered territory. They researched, presented and ultimately won a case which most told me was not possible. I thank them and highly recommend them.

Matt is one of the greatest and honest attorney's I've encountered. He not only leads you through the process but, Matt and his staff keep you informed on a daily basis. He is willing to explain the most detailed things in a manner that you can understand. He provides counsel and advice on legal matters in a way that helps make tough decisions easy. I use him in all my legal matters business and personal. You can't find a better attorney in the Charlotte-Metro area. I recommend him to every I meet that has legal issues.

Arnold and Smith handled a traffic violation for my wife last year and was able to get the case dismissed. As a result, we didn't pay a fine or court costs. I would highly recommend!

If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you and do everything possible to achieve the best possible outcome, then Matt Arnold is the attorney you need to hire. I hired Matt for my very contentious divorce case and I can say without hesitation that he worked tirelessly to champion my case and he never wavered in his commitment to obtain the best possible outcome!

In my opinion, if you need a SUPER lawyer, Matt Arnold is the best in Charlotte. Mr. Arnold went above and beyond while handling a divorce case which was incredibly tough. I feel any other attorney would not have been able to stop the litigiousness of the other party but I had faith in Mr. Arnold and he came through. Mr. Arnold is the perfect amount of tough steel in the courtroom and kind compassion in private meetings.

Matt Arnold, a father himself, and Anastasia Cowan provided excellent service for myself, a father who desired more custodial time to be with his children. Highly recommended in all areas of family law.

Because of the hard work from Mr. Arnold and the professionalism of his staff they were able to protect my interest in a very difficult divorce case. i would highly recommend Mr. Arnold in any divorce case. i found it very easy to communicate with Mr. Arnold. If Mr. Arnold was not available, there was always someone to answer all my concerns.

If you are in the process of any personal conflict or issue it will be the most emotional, personal and draining experience in your life. After 17 months and a large sum of money spent with another law firm. I felt frustrated, disheartened and aggravated. I was so far in, or so I thought, I didn’t want to “throw in the towel” with my current attorney. But at the same time, I knew something had to be done. I was at the point of walking away without anything that I had worked so hard to obtain for me and my children. I met and consulted with Mr. Matt Arnold on two occasions, at the urging of my friend that had hired his firm in the past. I finally made the decision to “jump ship” and hire Mr. Arnold as my legal counsel. I discussed with Matt what MY goals were and the outcome I wanted. He did not try to sway my thoughts, but did advise me of the possible outcome and set realistic expectations. He and his staff ACTUALLY answer your phone calls and emails in a very prompt and professional manner. They are very experienced in family law, familiar with every aspect and can advise you the best possible scenario or the course you should pursue. Anastasia, Mr. Arnold’s co-counsel was on the phone with me after hours to discuss and plan an upcoming deposition and mediation. Both took place the same day and his office had a very short window to be prepared. Matt was more than ready and the outcome was more than I anticipated. Within four – yes four (4) – Weeks of retaining Matt’s firm my case was settled. He negotiated on my behalf and exceeded my expectations. I have to say that Matt and his staff are intelligent, experienced and a group of very personable professionals that work for You. He wants things settled quickly and in a timely manner. He does not believe in waiting months or even years to achieve your goal. He is honest and sets expectations from day one. He will not “sugar coat” anything and does not beat around the bush. It is my suggestion that you don’t use your hard earned money on legal counsel that will only waste your time for billable hours. Consult with Matt first.

I had retained Mr. Arnold for a tense custody battle in which my little girl was being kept from me by her mother when we had separated. I was always in my daughter's life and it was extremely important to me it stayed that way. Matt, and his team, worked quickly, decisively, and aggressively to fight for emergency custody of my daughter. The level of professionalism, confidence, and knowledge of the law (and knowledge of the area court systems) is second to none. The entire staff at Arnold & Smith is professional and will walk you through the steps of your battle. The levels of communication, via phone and email, will keep you up-to-date at all times and prevent you from feeling stranded. His courtroom demeanor demands the attention of the room and is where his talents shine ever further. Finally, he has an important outlook which can be loss in the shuffle when custody battles become heated...he continuously asks questions which keeps the best interest of the child in mind. I would recommend Mr. Arnold to anyone whom wants to assure their children stay in their life. Mr. Arnold, Joanna, and the rest of his staff are worth every dollar. You absolutely will be bringing the top talent to the courtroom when you retain him.

Matt Arnold and his paralegal Joanna were fantastic to work with. Mr. Arnold was easy to talk to, and very detailed in his work. He didn't leave any stone unturned throughout my very complex divorce case, and ultimately got us the best possible outcome imaginable in a very timely manner. He and Joanna were very responsive, and answered all of my questions in great detail. I wouldn't have recieved the outcome I did without them, and I would recommend Mr Arnold and his team to anyone!

I have been involved in a highly contentious divorce case in Union County for 3.5 years. Last May I found myself "lawyer shopping" again when my lawyer at the time completely lost my trust. I decided on a highly respected attorney in Union County...however she tries to keep her practice in Union only and part of my ex's ambulance chasing lawyers plan was to sue me in multiple counties. I asked my divorce lawyer to give me a recommendation for the superior court case (libel) in Mecklenburg. "I want an amazing lawyer who will anniahilate them". Her response "Call Matt Arnold"...and that is exactly what Matt did...anniahilated them! Matt (and Kyle) kept me completely informed of the financial aspects. I knew exactly what I was getting in to and was never suprised by his billing. Matt and Kyle actually answer their emails and return phone calls...which can be rare in my experience with attorneys. Matt knew exactly what I wanted as a result for this case, always informed me of what realistic expectations I should have, he knew what I would accept, and he delivered (and some comic relief as well)! My family and I still talk about how my case made such a quick turn around once Matt took over! My advice is to choose Matt first and avoid having to come to him later!

Resonable expectations were set and the results far exceeded them. I was well informed, prepared and supported by Matt and his team. They provided comfort and confidence, as well as a great outcome. I can't possibly describe how grateful I truly am for what they have done for me. Matt was recommended to be by another trusted individual and I believe that was a blessing.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Matt Arnold regarding a traffic citation. I was uncertain as to whether I should handle it myself by appearing in court on my own or just pay the ticket and be done with all the nonsense. Fortunately, I heeded a close friend's advice and called Matt Arnold. His firm saved me a ton of money and the potential for making a costly mistake. They were efficient with my time and extremely patient when providing me options for handling the situation. I will certainly be working with Matt Arnold again in the future should a legal matter arise.
