Laura Arcaro assisted our family during a very difficult time. She helped us navigate challenging legal and emotional situations in a very professional manner. She brings a very human approach to law that is not often easy to find these days. I would highly recommend Laura Arcaro if you are looking for a highly competent team who provides quick responses and brings in years of family law expertise.

From the onset of my separation from my spouse to the day in court, Laura guided me professionally every step of the way. Having never needing to use an attorney before, Laura assisted and educated me on the process. Most importantly though was her investment into my case. She understood that finances were an issue for me, but also convinced me to hold on to what was fair in the divorce process. To that end she walked a thin line of costs versus negotiation; and efficiently got me through the process with most of everything I wanted as part of the settlement. Would gladly recommend her services for anyone else going through this life change.

My case of International Recovery of my daughter, I thought I would not achieve it, that was unattainable for me. I began the process with some pessimism until the day I spoke with Laura Arcaro. I remember textually many of her phrases, especially when she said "Ok, we do it", and calmness came. Everything happened as she said would happen, I was pleasantly surprised the way she got involved in my case. Excellent professional and an unforgettable human quality.

I am from Denmark, Europe. I have used Laura as my attorney two times. The first in an international abduction case, as my son had been taken to Florida by his mother. It was very easy to explain Laura my case and I felt right away that this was someone who knew was she was doing and would help me. What I noticed the most was her attention to detail. She made sure that everything was done the correct way, and that we were prepared for everything when the petition was made and when time came to go to court. In court she was very much on point, well prepared and we won the case and I was able to get my son back again. Laura helped me get my son back and has since then helped me once again. I can truly recommend Laura to anyone. I could not have gotten a more competent or more well prepared laywer. Thank you

Laura Arcaro is knowledgeable and a talented attorney. Of equal importance she is flexible and always willing to accommodate my schedule needs. She showed great amounts of patience whenever I was slow to follow her advice or direction. I always felt Ms. Arcaro was devoting her full attention to me and my legal needs, identifying details and making double sure they were attended-to. Laura's dedication to following through and following up are impeccable.

We spent over 50k on another lawyer who was a big talker and in the loop with the other attorneys on draining their clients for every penny. Laura is honest and does not accept BS from either party to include their attorneys or her own clients. Thanks to her hard work the kids are in a better position now than they have been in the last 7 years. Although the fight to "keep them grounded" is not over. I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. She is a good person. Not caught up in the circus loop of browards finest.
