Cecily Patterson Skarda

Cecily is the attorney you absolutely want on your side when facing a tough divorce. She stood by me every step of the way and fought strategically against every angle the other party tried. Her knowledge of the law is impressive, and she is not afraid to stand firm when it comes to doing what is rig...ht. Beyond divorce cases, Cecily is also incredibly compassionate and skilled when helping families with powers of attorney, living wills, and court orders for loved ones in need. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and truly cares about her clients and their families. She is an all-around outstanding attorney — knowledgeable, determined, and dedicated. She also handles criminal cases, so if you need strong representation, I highly recommend giving her a call.

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.

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 day...s 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 cus...tody, and I was awarded sole custody and all my possessions. She is the ONLY attorney I will use in the future!!!
