Custody Lawyer

I hired Cecily in the worst time of my life. My ex sued me for custody of our son and it has been an extremely difficult situation that she has been there for me and my child the whole way through. She is more than just a lawyer—she cares about doing what is right and she cares about her clients. If ...you hire a lawyer and do not know much about the legal system it is overwhelming but she has walked me through some of the hardest times. It has been said that she is fiery or aggressive but I see it as she stands up for her clients and what is right regardless if that is popular or not. I don’t know how things work out and if they do but I do know this much if you want an attorney that is educated and will do the right thing…it’s Cecily Skarda. It my darkest hour I chose her there was no one else for me! Call her she’s the best!

If you hire her she will get the job done.

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 cont...act 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.

"Outstanding attorney. Cecily's ability and persistence is incredible. She sees the big picture of a family law case. She always considers the children in these volatile cases. And she aggressively represents her clients. She knows all the issues in family law and after almost two decades of battling in most of the Arkansas Courts is well-respected by her peers, judges, and hundreds of clients. I regularly send clients to her."
