Do yourself justice, Arthur will!

Arthur LaCielento is a great lawyer and a good person. He and Susan worked hard to have my case air tight and rock solid before even going in front of the judge. He fought hard and brought his A game, opposing counsel had little defense against him. could not have won my case without Arthur, Susan a...nd his team and I am grateful to him for working so hard to close that stressful chapter in my life.

Wish I found Art sooner

I love Art and Sue. Art can be gruff sometimes but he's a great lawyer who will get the job done. Most people don't realize - divorce law in orange county is a RACKET. Ninety percent of the lawyers don't give a crap and will charge you tens of thousands of dollars for NOTHING. Art and his wife Sue r...eally care about their clients and won't overcharge you. I went through like 6 lawyers before settling on (and keeping) Art. I wish I'd found them sooner. If you read this: Art - thank you for doing battle for me. And winning my case. And Sue - thank you for caring about me and my situation. I always felt better about everything after talking to you.

Protects his clients

Art has been my attorney for over 5 years. Having an ex who is stubborn, my case has been long, drawn out, and extremely difficult (everyone has rights). During this time, I have come to learned that there is a process to the legal system that is complicated and I am very thankful that Art has been t...here to fight for me and my children. His knowledge of the law and his strategic sense has protected us and given my children immense support. He fights for what is right. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking child custody, support, or divorce issues.

Bulldog in the courtroom

I would most certainly recommend Art LaCilento he is a very good attorney along with a great staff. They’ll work tirelessly on your case which will result in the BEST outcome for you. He has definitely been more than a blessing to me during this whole ordeal and took a lot of stress out of a very poo...r situation. He is smart, effective and a ‘bulldog’ when he needs to be. You want him on your side. Art’s legal representation is worth every dollar. Thank you for everything Mr. LaCilento, I greatly appreciate it.

Aggressive and passionate advocate you want on your side

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!!!!
