William James Arendt

My 30+ year marriage went into a tailspin, which forced me to pursue legal counsel. My very close circle of family and friends overwhelmingly recommended William J. Arendt & Associates. I scheduled an appointment to meet and discuss my situation with Nicola K.B. Latus (Nikki). When I met with Nikki, ...I was a broken man. Nikki’s ability to listen, have compassion, and creatively interject with questions, concerns, and what the law dictates, far exceeded all my expectations. During my journey, Nikki consistently demonstrated superb communication skills, superior analytical and logical abilities, and unsurpassed knowledge of the legal system, that completely morphed me from a broken man to being revitalized and stronger than ever. Imagine this, not only is Nikki a phenomenon of an attorney, she is also concern about your finances. As battles erupted with opposing counsel during this process, Nikki will proactively advise the best logical path moving forward, minimizing your financial hit. In summary, and you have heard this excerpt before, “I pity the fool that doesn’t hire Nikki for legal representation.”

We hired Bill Arendt for a simple family case last year. During the initial consultation, Mr Arendt answered well and was hired immediately. Subsequently, communication dropped off, and phone calls went unanswered. It took weeks before he got back to me on simple questions. I didn't have any idea re...garding next steps or what my legal options were. I felt helpless. Opposing counsel kept pounding on us and Mr Arendt didn't take a firm stance. He didn't take the time to review the case and seldom answered phone calls. He was always very busy. His associate Nicola didn't help much and had no adequate knowledge of the law to provide guidance. I didn't get a good legal representation and my options seemed slim. My partner and I finally reached and an agreement that could have been handled better.

I got through my divorce with the expected bumps and bruises. However, my post-decree legal headaches proved to be much more formidable. What I've discovered is that the law is a virtual mine-field for subjective interpretation and one not-so-stable ex empowered by a unethical attorney make for a lot... of headaches. Bill Arendt has been invaluable in helping me understand the legal process, keeping me grounded and trying to help steer me towards a reasonable resolution.

I have dealt with many well known lawyers over 20 years. Bill is the best I have ever come in contact. Bill has a wealth of legal knowledge and is able to express his ideas both in writing and verbally. Bill will defend his client but just as important he will do what is right by his clients. Bill wi...ll lead you in the right direction, and he takes a true interest in his clients.---No matter how hard you look you will never find a better lawyer to be in your corner. I very seldom recommend people, but in this case, he is truely outstanding.
