She's in it for the kids

At first the flat fee seemed huge to me, but her fees ended up being actually extremely reasonable, considering how much time she took to work on my case. She spent hours on the phone with me, met with me, and went to trial several times until it was over. I had three other attorneys before her and... they were all problematic -- exorbitantly expensive, didn't answer my questions, difficult to get a hold of, and not in it for my child. Arlaine is someone who truly cares and is in it to protect the kids and get you the best situation. My case involved trying to prove sexual abuse after CPS "unsubstantiated" twice, very difficult but we got the supervision we were asking for in the end and I also got to relocate with my child for a better future. I am so grateful to Arlaine for her angelic help!

Great Lawyer, Great Experience

I have hired Arlaine multiple times and would recommend her to anyone, and have in fact recommended her to family that all had great experiences. She is extremely knowledgeable in family law and I would not hesitate to hire her again. I had an awesome experience, and truthfully have never had an atto...rney go so far out of her way to communicate and get back to me. 10 out of 10

Compassion when it counts

Arlaine represented me and my wife in the adoption of my children. Despite how difficult our case was, despite being told by every other attorney that it could not be done, Arlaine saw us and helped us fight to become a family!

Wonderful Attorney

I hired Arlaine back in 2016 because she came highly recommended for high conflict custody cases. I am so grateful that I found her because, in addition to being a wiz in navigating a very frustrating family law system, she had extensive knowledge in dealing with parental alienation. She powered thr...ough trials and hearings with expertise and confidence like none other. Her dedication to her ethical obligations paired with her honesty, fairness and understanding made me feel safe during a very scary and unsure time. After working with her in both a custody and equitable distribution case, I felt inspired to become a certified paralegal, which is my career today. I believe that Arlaine’s expertise and confidence in and out of the courtroom, along with fantastic results in my case was the catalyst for my decision to pursue my career in the legal field. Arlaine’s fierce dedication and determination to my case helped me to have the wonderful relationship that I have with my children today and I will be forever grateful to her for being the warrior attorney that she is.

She’s an awesome lawyer!

ARLAINE has taken very good care of me and my case. She knows the law and how to handle every aspect of my case! I would recommend her to anyone that is going through custody, or cases that involve abuse or alleged abuse. She does a great job on both sides of cases whether you’re in need of defending... or you’re the one who’s fighting for custody. I am glad that she’s my lawyer!
