Posted by anonymous | June 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Mr. Arndt handled my lengthy/difficult recent divorce for me to receive a great settlement offer.

Mr. Arndt always included a copy for me when dealing with the other party's attorney, so I was always adequately informed. Mr. Arndt also took time to explain and answer my questions I had and handled the situation when the other party was confined to a Protection Order and was "breaking the rules" ...on it. Mr. Arndt was ALWAYS professional in the legal dealings when we were challenged in any manner and at the same time, tried to keep my legal fees at a minimum for his time spent. I would recommend Mr. Arndt to anyone, since he can be trusted and knows his facts and the rulings within the Court system.

Attorney review

I live in Maine and several years ago was involved in a lawsuit which required legal representation in Colorado. Jim Arndt was recommended to me by a well respected Colorado judge. As well as his legal experience, Jim's down to earth personality, honesty, and integrity impressed me, especially sin...ce we were dealing with a less than honorable attorney and plaintiff. Jim kept me focused and grounded in the two year ordeal. I would without hesitation recommend Jim Arndt for legal representation. Also, I would like to mention that his staff was very helpful and friendly.

Jim is a fine mediator and community volunteer

Jim has been a volunteer mediator for our county-funded community mediation program since October, 2013. During his tenure with our program, he has completed 21 cases, mostly as a lead mediator. Most, but not all, of these cases have been family law cases, often referred to our program from county ...Child Support Services. Without Jim's assistance, many of these parties would not have the benefit of mediation to help them resolve their child support and parenting issues. Seventeen of Jim's cases have gone to mediation, and agreements were reached by the parties in 70% of them. This high agreement percentage is a tribute to Jim's skills as a mediator and evidence of his empathy for the needs of the parties in a very trying time in their lives. As Director of this program, I can say that I value Jim highly as a volunteer, I respect his skills, and hope that he remains with our program for a very long time. Although I know Jim is a skilled attorney, I also highly recommend him as a mediator. As further evidence of Jim's concern for our community, he has also served with me on our judicial district Access to Justice Committee and has been personally involved in the Committee's outreach efforts to bring real justice to more of our citizens. I am happy to have the opportunity to testify to the skills Jim brings to his role as a mediator. I am pleased to give him a very high rating and commend him to anyone who is considering him as a mediator for their dispute.

Empathetic, Calm, Focused, and Thorough

Not long ago, I was facing a difficult and terrifying probate case involving severe outside influence surrounding my wife's passing. I was blessed with a referral to Jim Arndt and his sympathetic demeanor and supportive approach were of great comfort during this emotionally devasting time. Just as ...importantly, Jim's extensive research into the factual elements of the case, thorough development of effective arguments, and highly focused yet calm presentation during the trial convinced the judge and jury of the truth and enabled us to prevail against an aggressive and often blustery opposition. While I hope I never encounter another situation like this one, if fate dictates I once again face this level of challenge, I would without hesitation engage Jim to represent me and the interests of my family.

Mr. Arndt as a divorce attorney

I found Mr. Arndt to be an excellent attorney and counselor during a very trying time and would highly recommend his services. He was professional and compassionate. He listened and gave sound advice. What was also very useful was that he gave accurate advice; he never promised more than what the C...ourt was likely to order so I could plan accordingly and I wasn't shocked or disappointed by the Court's ruling. He was timely, something I have found is not easy to find in attorneys and he is easy to talk to. I have recommended him many times to friends and colleagues and they have experienced the same excellent work with him.
