I would prefer that the reviews of my present and former clients, and the endorsements of lawyers I have had the pleasure of working with/against for over 40 years of practice, will speak to my abilities, qualifications, dedication, truthfulness and integrity. I loathe selling myself.

LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell has recognized me for the highest level of ethical standards and professional excellence. I am a South Florida Top Rated Lawyer. Generations of lawyers have relied on LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell for 140 years as the authoritative source to confirm credentials based on independent evaluations of skills and experience. I have been rated by my peers pursuant to confidential opinions of lawyers and members of the judiciary to be AV Preeminent--the highest Peer Review Rating available.

On a scale of 1-10, I am rated 10 (Superb) by AVVO.

I thank my many clients, co-counsel and opposing counsel over many years who have helped me achieve this superb rating. Thank you.

Litigation

I did not think that I needed an attorney, until I was sued . Raul was referred to me by a friend . When I contacted him , he was able to schedule an appointment with me the very next day. After I hired Raul he did not waste any time , just jumped into action. He took a case that seem like a sure loss for me, and turned it into me feeling that I actually had a chance to win. I ended up settling the case for a lot less that if I did not have him at my side.

Fast,Easy Effective

I hired Raul to draft an employment agreement between my company and a new hire. Raul was very professional and the process was quick and easy. The agreement drafted to meet everyone of my requirements and he added somethings that I over looked. I highly recommend him.

Collections and product quality situation

Mr. Arencibia was able to intercede for us in regards to a collection situation that involved product quality issues. He helped us negotiate successfully a mutually agreeable solution with our supplier.

Excellent at his job & extremly compassionate!

I had a very complicated case that was causing me to endure the worst few months of my life. Raul educated me on all the confusing legal aspects involved, answered every one of my million questions in a quick & thorough manner, did diligent and extensive research to find supporting facts, and advised me in a manner I found to be professional, straight-forward, & of the highest quality. In addition to his excellent professional conduct, his humanity, compassion, and kindness were an unexpected (& much needed) surprise. As I found Raul through Avvo, I had no idea what to expect but, I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a brilliant lawyer and I could not have been happier with how he handled my case and our professional relationship.

Business Ownership Dispute

Raul immediately responded to a time sensitive matter for a client. He also brought in a team required to address an aggressive takeover attempt. His knowledge and experience proved to be the solution that my client urgently needed. They were thus able to maintain their business ownership interest and are now prospering as the viral influence has been eliminated.

Caring, Responsible and Effective Attorney

Raul Arencibia helped me handle an estate case that involved a total of 5 siblings and 1 step-sibling each living in different states. The case was complicated by some siblings having different representation, as well as there being a multitude of filings with and meetings with the Executor, etc. In particular, there were some issues with regard to the liquidation of a townhouse. Since this is an area in which he practices law, I relied upon Mr. Arencibia to guide the complex process of the sale and distribution of funds to the Estate. He came through admirably. Mr. Arencibia always took the time to inform me, listened carefully to my requests and comments and always provided thoughtful suggestions to help me make informed decisions. He communicated effectively and proactively with my sibling's attorneys and we ended up with a fast closure and settling of the Estate's assets. I will not hesitate to contact and use Mr. Arencibia for appropriate future legal needs I may have.
