Matthew Robert Arnold

As my family law attorney, Matt Arnold has done an exceptional job in representing the interests of me and my child. I observed his overall performance as a lawyer and specifically in his capacity as a courtroom litigator. Ashley Crowder has also done an exceptional job in serving me in this case. ... Both Mr. Arnold and Ms. Crowder are knowledgeable, well-prepared, organized and well-versed in family court law. Mr. Arnold accepted my case and was able to prepare for trial in less than 30 days. As a result of his expertise and dedicated work effort, he was able to obtain a successful outcome on my behalf. Mr. Arnold and Ms. Crowder work exceptionally well as a team and both of them kept me apprised of the timing and steps in the proceedings at all times. Mr. Arnold is highly professional, knowledgeable and strategic in dealing with his clients’ interests. He is a strong communicator and collaborative with his clients in the way that he approaches the issues and makes a plan to address them. Ms. Crowder is equally professional and adept in her communications skills. Mr. Arnold has an exceptional staff. He has a highly-experienced team of associate attorneys, paralegals and administrators. The team is very responsive and timely in completing work. They maintain a clear line of communication regarding progress and calendaring of hearings and filings of motions. The team is polite, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Mr. Arnold and his staff have a proven track record that has demonstrated his ability to successfully represent his clients in a way that instills confidence and delivers the best results for you and your children. I highly recommend Mr. Arnold, Ms. Crowder, and the staff at Arnold and Smith, PLLC, to effectively handle family court and custody case proceedings in your best interest.

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 figh...t 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 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!
