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.

Doesn’t stay in communication with her clients. Refuses to provide an engagement agreement that she has been officially reprimanded for by the Arkansas Supreme Court. https://attorneyinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov/info/attorney/Attorney_Search_Detail.aspx?ID=b581cff6-1ab4-4423-b2a9-171d796c94ba Tells you to... “Stop!” when you email her information that is pertinent to your case. (screenshots available) Yells and curses at you on the phone (phone recordings available). Ignores numerous requests to meet with her. Refuses to keep you posted on the status of your case and acts like it’s an imposition when you ask for updates that she should be giving regularly. So much more to say, but not enough room here. If you’re looking for an attorney who will ignore your calls and emails, not provide you with an engagement agreement outlining what they are doing for you and for how much, will curse and yell at you when they actually do call you back, will keep you in the dark, will refuse to provide you case documents they have received from the other party, etc., then Cecily is your girl. A grievance is going to be filed with the Supreme  Court Office of Professional Conduct. This abhorred behavior is NOT okay.

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!

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.
