DO NOT TRUST ARNO. He’s a scam

After I paid him to do as he promised and help me with my case, he stopped returning my calls, responding to my texts. I didn’t even know what was going on with my case. He left me in the dark. Now I got hit hard and was told that he never represented me at not one hearing. He scammed me. Now I need ...help getting my money back from him and I need a real lawyer.

Unprofessional

***WARNING*** do not hire this man. He comes off like he knows what’s he’s doing (smooth talker) for sure but when our case began he left us in the dark for a whole year. Never returned any calls , he asked for 1000 more which we gave the plan didn’t work out so he gave our money back (only the 1000)... back in two payments. At times he wouldn’t show up at all to our court dates , we kept asking for my husband’s discovery nothing at all. My husband got transferred to prison without any documentation. We wished we could’ve gone with a public defender at this point because this lawyer is unprofessional , pretty bizarre behavior and doesn’t care to keep you updated on anything. 7,500 down the drain. He comes off like he has connections to the San Fernando court in reality nobody in that court room liked this lawyer. Save your money and do not hire him

Scammed me for 6 Years

He would take my money. Say my case was dismissed, then not respond to me for years during several open cases. They all went to collections and I paid them from my own pocket. He plays games and begs for mercy from his clients.

"Arno is as good as they come. Most lawyers I see practicing nowadays are about the bottom line - least work for the most money. Arno truly cares about his clients and getting them the justice they deserve. He will analyze the case and come up with the best course of action for his clients, ensuring they have the best and most effective legal representation. His passion for the work is also unmatched. I happily refer criminal clients to Arno, knowing they are in good hands."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
