Arthur John Lacilento

I found myself in a position I NEVER thought I would be in when my children were removed from my custody unexpectedly. Looking for an attorney in this field is not easy (I spoke with a few) especially when the world has been pulled out from under your feet. I am SO GLAD I found Art. His office was... incredibly helpful and supportive from my first contacted with them, and his pricing was competitive. I just felt better once I spoke with his office and knew I wanted Art on my side. I was able to retain Art and he appeared with me the following morning for our first hearing. I had read other positive reviews and can truly attest that Art knows his stuff. He cited numerous laws and cases so quickly he kept opposing counsel on their toes to say the least. He is clearly well known and highly respected in the court room. Although we didn't get the outcome we had hoped for initially, and with COVID delaying everything, it was a long four months until we got to court again. Art was always available to answer my questions with no BS, he definitely gives it to you straight and he will hold you accountable (which I consider to be a really good quality in an attorney in this field). If you do what you're supposed to and are responsible for yourself, he believes in you and your case, he will fight tooth and nail for what's right. I have an immense amount of respect for his ability to see through the BS, hold ground in the courtroom and his unparalleled expertise in litigating. I am SO THANKFUL for Art. He fought for me, let me know where I screwed up and praised me for my hard work and the progress I made. If you find yourself caught up in this incredibly dysfunctional system, LISTEN TO THIS MAN, HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. If you do your part and work hard, Art will work HARD for you! He's clearly devoted to this field and he's in it for the long run (as long as you are too). Best possible outcome. Although my dependency case was dismissed, I am have been in and out of family court for 5 years and would never consider using another attorney. I am elated to have found Art. I can't thank you enough Art!!!!

I am currently involved in a Juvenile Dependency proceeding that has been ongoing since July of 2019. During the first 2 months of the case, I had no choice but to tolerate use of the "court appointed" attorney that was assigned to me. When finally able to retain my own private counsels, I decided to... retain Mr. LaCilento, as he was highly recommended by other attorneys during my then search for a counsel. After my consultation, i was definitely convinced i was making the right decision for legal representation. Arthur is tremendously knowledgeable in Juvenile Law. Despite being hired halfway into my case, he's been able to prevent me from being thrown out of my case with no rights anymore, reinstate my visitation & even filed a motion to have parentage established with the judge ruling in my favor of the motion, granted me Presumed Father status, thus now giving me standing in this proceeding. He ended up saving not on my son & I from eternal separation, but my family entirely as a whole & for that I'm forever indebted. In a court proceeding like this, with all the corruption that goes on (yup i said it), i highly recommended Mr. LaCilento. He will fight for you, especially if he believes in you. He's aggressive and doesn't get intimidated by these corrupt social workers & judges. His passion for justice and keeping families together is not only very admirable, but helped me realize that I wasn't in this battle solo anymore.

Long story short. I hired Art after my court appointed attorney did nothing to protect me in a JV case. CPS had taken my daughter because my ex discovered meth later in life. From the moment I hired Art, everything turned around. I have no criminal or drug history but was “looped in” as CPS explained... it because of my ex wrong doings. I thought my case would be simple and figured I would just walk out with custody since I did nothing wrong. I was wrong!! CPS case worker was on a power tip. Definitely bias towards me. I ended up with monitored visits while mother was still missing drug test and getting more time with my daughter then I was. Had I hired Art from the beginning, none of this would have happened. I now have custody of my daughter. Art will fight for you!! He is by far the best attorney I have hired. Him and his wife Susan are an amazing team. Do what he tells you to do and be upfront with him. He will give you a good plan of action. In conclusion, Hire him! Once you get to know him, you will realize he has a heart of gold.

I hired Mr La Cilento over a year ago. Mr. La Cilento and Sue are dedicated to their clients. They actually care unlike most attorneys that are in the business for the alimighty dollar. Right away I knew I hired the right attorney. Mr. Lacilento fights for justice and he knows the law. He is very str...ategic and knows exactly what needs to be done. He truly looks out for his clients every step of the way. He is unbelievable in trial and uncovers what needs to be exposed. If you want an attorney that will fight for your rights and your child this is the attorney. I learned to sit back and follow Mr. Lacilento and Sue's directions. I highly recommend Mr Lacilento he is an expert in this corrupt system. I will not allow anyone else to touch my case. I have had other attorneys and Mr. La Cilento has had to pick up the pieces. He is even recommended by Shawn Mc Millian which speaks volumes. Mr. La Cilento works hard for me and all his clients he has clearly paved his way to the top. He will not mislead you he is honest and he will fight for you. Mr. La Cilento also has a strong faith which I believe drives his fight for justice in a corrupt system. Art and Sue truly are a blessing. I could not have made it through this system without Mr. La Cilento and his staff. I recommend Mr. La Cilento to everyone who needs an attorney. Simple the BEST you will not be disappointed.

I was referred to Art by my daughter last year. At first I thought, this man doesnt listen to me, he's mean, he's tuff, and not the one that I will get along with. We had our differences but at the end of the day, Mr. Arthur has been on my side from the beginning. He has fought day end, day out to ge...t me the justice I needed. We went to trial and believe me when I say, Art was OUTSTANDING!!! He caught the other party in so much dishonesty, shamfulness, and other things that I believe woudn't have happened without him. He fought to the very end to get me joint custody of my grandkids. He wasn't a push over, and he spoke up each time they tried to down play the love I have for my grandkids. If I had to do it all over again, I would hire Art in a heartbeat!
