Cecily Patterson Skarda

Look no further, you have found your lawyer. Cecily Skarda is everything you expect a lawyer to be and even more. She fights for you and speaks with conviction in the courtroom that will leave you speechless with goosebumps. Remember, you are a team. She is representing you so provide her with every necessary detail you can, and I promise, she will deliver. When she speaks, she grasps everyone’s attention in the courtroom, and she defends you like you are family. I have never seen anything like it. She knows the law and presents your case with confidence and determination that is admired by everyone in the room. You can’t help but listen to her and admire her. If you’re reading this, you are probably in a place in life where you feel lost and hopeless because a spouse is trying to paint you out to be someone that you’re not. I understand, I’ve been there. I felt like there was no where to turn. No one to help me. Until a friend of mine told me to call Cecily. Cecily changed my life. She gave me my life back when I thought there was nothing else to be done. She stood up in the courtroom and spoke with such tenacity and eloquence. She defended me as if I were her own. You can hear the passion in her voice. I found myself trembling with anxiety to becoming completely relaxed once Cecily stood up and spoke on my behalf. She is worth every penny and I promise you will not regret hiring her. I am so grateful that a lawyer like this resides in Little Rock. You need her. Call her.

If you are looking for the best of the best you have found her. I was in a terrible situation with my ex wife and with Arkansas being a mother state so many people said I would never be able to get full custody of my daughter. Well they never met Cecily Skarda, she took my situation and presented it in a way that there was no question my daughter needed to be with me. She worked hard and fought for me and got the outcome she wanted. She worked long hard hours digging and presenting my case. By far the #1 attorney in Arkansas. I recommend you don’t call another Lawyer because she is all you need plus some.

I am thankful that Cecily Skarda was recommended to me for my child custody case. Cecily is very aggressive and fights for her clients. She will always be up front with you and expects the same respect. So happy with how she handled my case and with her reasonable fee. Clint

We contacted Cecily Skarda because of her reputation of protecting her clients with dedication and focus. Our child custody case was not only challenging, but extremely emotional. Ms Skarda was dedicated to the case and worked hard for us. Her many years of experience was beneficial in successfully resolving our case. We highly recommend Cecily Skarda to anyone needing a family law attorney. Barbara

Not every case needs a GUNSLINGER, but sometimes you just do. I have more than 30 years experience in the criminal justice system and generally do not like lawyers, probably like most people. That changes when you need one. She is an excellent litigator and I recommend her hands down ten out of ten times. She won't answer the phone when you need a lawyer hug, but when it comes down to the heart of the matter and needing someone on your side and in your corner that can get it done, she's your Huckleberry. If you need a chihuahua, I know a guy in Conway. If you need a real deal lawyer, her number is attached to this review. Call her.

My son had a custody case with his ex. We used Cecily after the paternity test came back and he realized he was going to need an attorney that would fight for him. It took over two years but my son finally was awarded sole custody of his child. We couldn’t have done it without Cecily!! She was exactly the attorney we needed. She is a little hard to get ahold of at times but she is a lone person firm. She types everything herself, no one answers her phone or handles cases for her. So when it comes time for court she’s 100% involved in only your case.

I was in a pretty tough place with an appeal I was going through at work. Even though I called her at what felt like last minute she still was able to pull through. She won my case, Got my name cleared and represented me better than anyone could have. I've never seen an attorney fight as hard as she did for me and push topics that they didn't want to hear. I will continue to recommend and use this lawyer for any of my needs. She's one of the best for sure!

She was recommended to me by someone I felt knew that she could do the job for me and after my first consult with her I knew she was the attorney I needed so I hired her. After I was told I didn't have a case by several attorney's. She went above and beyond on my case. She even would still be in contact with me over the weekends not like most lawyers just leave you high and dry over the weekend or holiday. She got me everything i wanted plus more. She got the job done, I highly recommend her if you need the job to be done to it's fullest.

Cecily Skarda is a phenomenal family lawyer. I consulted Cecily in Feb 2012, for a custody case. After reviewing the divorce decree she was very straight forward, it would be an expensive uphill battle, and she could not promise me anything would change. She suggested I think about it a couple of days and get back to her. Her honesty impressed me, she did not want to make any promises that she couldn't keep. Cecily works alone, which can be a double edged sword. She does all her own work and meticulously prepares for her cases. However, that means she is not always able to answer the phone, or return a call as soon as you might like. The first go around I was a little nervous. I had friends who had been through similar litigation and spoke to their lawyer, or secretary often. I really was not sure how things would go, and legal representation is not cheap. All my fears were put behind me once we stepped in the court room. She is incredible on her feet, knows the law, and is passionate about her cases. I realized just because I didn't know what she was doing, didn't mean she didn't have a plan. I learned to trust her and realized I paid her to worry so I didn't have to. About a year later I had to hire her again. This time it was much easier. I still didn't know every detail of what was going on, but I knew it didn't matter. She had it covered. In all I have been in the court room 4 times, and seen her go head to head with 3 different lawyers. ( The opposing party changed counsel 3 times) I was more impressed every time. There were bumps along the way, procedural things that didn't go our way. However at the end of the day when it mattered, we prevailed. I ended up with more than I originally was going to ask for, and that is because she did not quit or give in. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to prevail in the court room. She will not caudle you and reassure you every step of the way, but that's what friends are for. She however knows how to litigate and win a case, and that is all that really matters anyway. She did an outstanding job, and I can not say enough good things about her. I have had friends that hired her and she did just as good of a job for them. My advice to anyone that chooses Cecily to represent them. 1. Be honest, brutally honest, when your lawyer is surprised that is never a good thing. 2. TRUST HER. Do your job and give her any information that might be of assistance, and she will put it to good use.

Cecily Skarda is a WINNER!!!! She was highly recommended to me from numerous people that she represented. She is very professional and personable and goes the extra mile to take care of your case. Don't gamble on someone who "Might" get the job done, use Cecily!!!! My case included divorce/ child custody, and I was awarded sole custody and all my possessions. She is the ONLY attorney I will use in the future!!!
