Patricia L. Arreazola

Absolutely the worst experience I feel I could have had with this attorney. Attorney Arreazola is impossible to contact and will never return messages in regards to questions I would have. After our divorce was finalized Attorney Arreazola did not follow through with the QDRO from my ex-wife and ...I was forced to file a complaint with the Office of Lawyer Regulation in order to get an answer from her. I eventually had to hire a new attorney to finish what Attorney Arreazola was hired to do. Approximately a year and a half later, I received another bill from Attorney Arreazola which I took to arbitration and it was found she overcharged me several thousand dollars of lawyer fees for services she did not do. Attorney Arreazola did not have my interests at heart and acted extremely unprofessional throughout this entire process.

I am very late writing this review, as my divorce was a few years ago, but I wish I had never hired Ms. Arreazola. I was served with contempt papers because my spouse's lawyer had sent messages to the Arreazola office about things wanted out of the house belonging to spouse. I was NEVER notified. I f...ound out after I fired her and picked up all correspondence pertaining to the proceedings. I called her very upset one day when my spouse was banging on the door and wouldn't leave and she never called me back. I was stuck with bills that should have been split between my spouse and me, but she never did anything with the paperwork I provided showing the amounts and what they were for and it was over $3,000 dollars. She did very little for the retainer paid, and I had to pay the same retainer to the next attorney. Would have saved me a lot to have chosen this attorney the first time instead of Patricia Arreazola.

She gives false sense of positive outcome. She drags things out by not completing tasks by court appointed deadlines. She is unavailable and not a good representative of the legal profession. I would not recommend her. She was not successful getting the best outcome in my case. Her follow through was... lacking when she was suppose to be getting tasks completed.
