Amazing Firm!

The Arcia Law Firm is a great firm, I hired them to defend my case of foreclosure and they did an excellent job! I was able to keep my home and I actually can afford my payments now. I would strongly recommend Mr. Arcia to help in any foreclosure matter! His a wonderful attorney.

I hate this law office!

I hate is law office. I've been a client for 2 years and nothing has been done about my case. I've laid down a $2000 retainer and for that this is what I get. 1. Never a call back 2. Set up phone appts with attornies that they fail to keep or reschedule 3. When I did complain to the bar I di...d get a call but when I returned it and left a message they never got back to me. 4. A few months ago in 2014 I get an email that they are changing their policy and if I want to be represented by them they would want $500.00/per month. 5. I called to find out what this is about I didn't get a call back until a month later to say it does not apply to my case with no explanation I have not had a review of my case in 2 Years. I don't have anyplace to go. If someone is reading this I really need help.

GREAT CHOICE

I retained Omar Arcia in 2009 in a case of Foreclosure Defense In 2013 Omar bring to us a modification in our case with principal reduction over 150K and monthly payment reduction in 70%. I am very happy with the results and recommend Omar to everyone facing foreclosure of their home. Contrate a O...mar Arcia en el 2009 para defender Foreclosure En el 2013 me consiguio una modificacion con reduccion de principal de mas de 150k ademas de una mensualidad 70% menor a la que pagaba con intereses fijos del 2%. Estoy muy contenta con Omar y lo recomiendo a cualquiera que tenga que enfrentar un Foreclosure

Headline Slander in Effect Here

Once again, an attorney making headway against foreclosure fraud gets attacked, through some back door allegation of wrongdoing for a sanction mark on his record...to attempt to stop him from exposing the fraud on the courts that runs unchecked in Florida and other states, and again here, just for a ...sensational headline.

Do not hire Omar Arcia

The worst lawyer ever, never answer our call and the secretary was the one handling our deal not even a paralegal, Our biggest mistake was hiring Omar Arcia.
