Matthew Robert Arnold

I am so grateful for Matt Arnold and his team. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever be going through a divorce. After almost 22 years of marriage that is exactly what I was doing and I was a complete mess. At the consultation Matt was straight forward and painted an accurate picture... of what to expect. From the hiring of Matt to our final day in court was a 5 1/2 year process. Throughout the entire process Matt and Joanna, his paralegal, were amazing. Never...ever did I feel unimportant. Whenever they were working with me I felt like their only client. I had some less than stellar moments and every time they would kindly and graciously help me get back on track and refocused on the end goal. We had several court dates throughout this divorce process. Every time Matt was completely prepared. He is formidable. He doesn't get flustered or caught off guard. He has a grasp and understanding of the law that is, in my honest opinion, unmatched. He and his team leave no stone unturned. They do absolutely everything they possible can to achieve your absolute best outcome. The divorce process most likely will take longer than you want and cost more than you want. The lawyer you hire to carry you over the "finish line" holds your future in their hands. It is a decision that will have a ripple effect on the rest of your days. You want those hands to be strong, capable, tireless, genuine, knowledgeable, determined, and willing to fight for you. Those hands belong to Matt Arnold. That may sound "corny" as you read my review. I am emotional as I write it. I honestly and whole heartedly mean every word. This mid 50s ish old woman who was heart broken and fearful could not be more grateful for Matt Arnold and his team. I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I was in very good capable hands and I am eternally grateful . Matt Arnold is who you want representing you.

Matt Arnold represented our son in a recent custody case. He helped our family through an extremely difficult and emotional process as he navigated our complicated case through the court system. His knowledge of the law, passion for justice, and quick thinking paired with Alyssa Levine's thoroughne...ss and attention to detail are a winning combination. We felt like they cared about our family and wanted to fight for us. Our son now has the time with his daughter he has always deserved. Thank you Matt and Alyssa!

I worked with Matt on a custody issue recently. I am a father. In a custody case there is a ton of emotion, and other issues going on, so having a lawyer who can keep you informed, and keep a level head is imperative. My first session in court was nerve racking. Did I have enough information? Did ...I do everything I could do? Did this guy whose representing me even care about how much this case means to me? You don't know if your lawyer is going to get up and just get destroyed or what. After watching Matt do his "thing" the first and second meeting in court, I knew I had hired the right guy. Over time Matt had gained my confidence and trust, because he proved over and over that he knew where my case was at, had sound advice, and helped keep me calm. I cannot stress how important this is in a custody case. Then yesterday, it was suddenly over. I was whole. As I reflected that night, after putting my son to bed, on the fact that I was finally through this storm, as I went though all the different possible endings this case could have had, it occurred to me that my case could not have ended any better, for everyone involved, but most importantly for our child. I do not think it would have ended this way with any other lawyer. He ended the case, upon reflection, *better* than the best case scenario I had held in my head for so long. Matt, and Bree and Johanna were always willing to answer my question, always able to empathize, and always on top of their game. I believe anyone who retains Matt can rest assured that as long as you *follow his advice*, give him all the facts, and do your part, he will give you the best possible outcome for your situation as well. I cannot thank the staff at A&S enough for everything you did for my child and for myself.

I recently engaged Arnold & Smith regarding representing me for a separation agreement in my divorce. I can’t speak highly enough regarding the outstanding services I received from this law firm. Both Matt Arnold and Lindsey Dasher were working with me on my agreement and both were true professiona...ls. It was very important to me to have an attorney who was professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly responsive. Both Matt and Lindsey portrayed all of these qualities in addition to taking the time to patiently educate me on areas of high importance throughout the process. I highly recommend Arnold & Smith to anyone who is in need of these services and looking for attorneys who care about you as both a client and an individual.

We recently found ourselves in a situation that warranted legal representation in a child support case. Our case had issues that made it a bit more complex than a regular support case, namely military, custody and interstate issues. We hired Matt Arnold based on our online research. From our initial ...consultation with Matt, we knew we had made the right decision. Matt immediately put us at ease with his knowlege and professionalism. By our court date, Matt had thoroughly researched all of our issues and told us exactly what to expect. Although there are a plethora of attorneys out there that can handle child support cases, we feel that you cannot find a more principled attorney willing to work tirelessly to make sure you are treated fairly. He made us feel that our case was his top priority. Our case was resolved to our expectations with Matt's expertise from start to finish. We were kept informed throughout the entire process. Matt's staff, specifically Joanna, was equally responsive and knowlegeable.
