Posted by Casey | June 02, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Hired him and he did NOTHING

If I could give this guy ZERO stars, I absolutely would. I cannot believe he is still in business. (Hired by my husband) All information is true and accurate! I have a signed contract that I can upload. What we were promised, we did not receive. We paid them a $5,000 retainer and got nothing in r...eturn. The only receipt we’ve seen shows they used just $400, and they refuse to refund the rest. After 9 months of chasing them down for answers on a simple child support modification, not a single filing was made by these attorneys. We submitted our financial affidavit multiple times, spoke with the paralegal repeatedly, asked to speak with the attorney — and still received no answers and no action. We were told documents were “never received,” even though we had already submitted them. They made us go in circles with no resolution, no follow-through, and no professional accountability. To make matters worse, the attorney even emailed us claiming we didn’t pay for the service we hired him for — and said he would only help if we paid more. The service he referred to was clearly listed in the original contract and had already been paid for in full. This is unethical and unacceptable. They collect, then disappear. I promise you, they will do absolutely nothing for you except take your money, string you along, and leave you worse off than when you started. If you’re considering hiring them — run. And if you’ve had a similar experience, report it to the Florida Bar. We did.

Aggressive, fair price, will refer to friends or family in future

Attorneys at Arnold Law helped me get divorced and work out custody with my ex-wife. This was a difficult time in my life but Jim Arnold helped my family through it with compassion and attentiveness. He was up front with all the legal fees and completed my case for the initial retainer quote. Hope I... never have to hire an attorney again but if I do I'll hire Jim Arnold.

Jim has over 40 years of experience and it showed when it mattered!

This is by far the best law firm in Clay County. I don't hesitate to highly recommend this Arnold Law to friends and family. Ethical, dependable, and fair. Jim has over 40 years of experience and it showed when it mattered!

5 Star A++++ Lawyer

Great Attorney! I refer clients to him! He has over 40 years of experience and it shows in his work. I see him get some great results. The judges often defer to his judgement. 5 Star A++++ Lawyer.

Way too expensive

My overall experience with this attorney was not a positive one. My high bill shows up every month weather anything was done on my behalf or not. Not at all agressive or involved enough in my case.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
