Winning A Complicated Case

Omar Arcia first met with me and from the moment I began to explain a rather complicated Foreclosure case that had years of past litigations with prior attorneys representing myself, I knew immediately that I found the right office and an excellent attorney to represent me. From the initial day on, ...we have become in very close touch on resolving a case that often seemed to have a "life of its own". The staff at Arcia Law Firm have been superb in their communication to me on all court documents, all court dates and any meetings if needed for me to attend. I was especially impressed with Mr. Arcia's ability to dig through the details of years of documents within my case to offer my best defenses along with the best offense in find victory. If I wasn't already certain I hired the right lawyer, I was certain upon listening and watch Mr. Arcia in the many court room opportunities in front of the court. His manner and well spoken delivery was a huge asset in the Judge's decision in my case. I certainly would recommend Omar Arcia to anyone considering an attorney to help them succeed through a very complex Court System and allow The Arcia Law firm to work closely with the client for the future.

Honest and dependable

Mr. Arcia has always been honest with me from the very beginning of taking my case. No matter what happened, he was very positive and always had a viable option for me. His support staff are very courteous and over all, extremely helpful. The final outcome exceeded my expectations. I am so happy that... he had been my representative for the past 2+ years and I will definitely recommend him to everyone that I have the opportunity to do so.

Godinstance

The most knowledgeable attorney I have ever met. A bulldog in the courtroom, never backs down, yet very respectful and professional. He is a surgical blade in dissecting the arguments brought on by the plaintiff. He was able to have our case dismissed using the aforementioned comments.

Foreclosure Defense - Loan Modification

About three years ago, I lost my job. Financially everything began to crumble. Our savings were gone, debts was piling up and finally our home foreclosed. Then I started to seek advice from lawyers about filing for bankruptcy and how to save my home. I spoke with several lawyers prior to speaking wi...th Omar Arcia and what made my decision to go with him was that he took his time to explained me all my possible options and the strategies he will be using to help me out. One year after I hired Mr. Arcia, I saved my home, got debt free and reduced my principal from $400K to $240K. Now everything is on track. Personnel at Arcia Law are really professionals, they kept me informed with every step regarding my case and Omar is an extraordinary person. I will definitely use Arcia Law if I should need an attorney in the future.
