LOOK NO FURTHER! Best lawyer!

First, I would like to say if you are reading reviews for an attorney such as Art, that you are probably feeling worried and have some very difficult times to work through. Rest assured that you do not need to Search anymore. I understand how this feels and was there as well, I spent hours and... days researching and reviewing lawyers to find the most skilled help I could. I had two previous lawyers and I truly wish I had Art and his expertise to begin with. The law he specializes in requires a truly unique knowledge, a heart of gold, and a man that will fight for what matters the most! I was terrified and in the most difficult time of my life. I was blessed to find Art as a referral from another attorney, Shaun McMillan. There is nothing more important in this world than my family. I spoke to Art and his wife Susan at length prior to retaining. I felt comfortable and entrusted them throughout this process and they were with me every step of the way, with a true dedication and focus to me as a client and my needs. Art is a fighter, and he is a kind man that does not allow anyone to push him around. Like many other reviewers have said, if he believes in you he will fight for you.! Also, he is honest and will tell you the truth. If he knows you are wrong he will tell you. I cannot say enough about the integrity and compassion this firm exudes. Art is the best attorney I have ever had and the only attorney I will ever need to retain!

Top choice Attorney

When I retained Mr. LaCilento I needed the very best. I was referred to Mr. LaCilento by other top attorneys and I was told that he was the best lawyer in juvenile dependency. He was extremely dedicated and always professional. He was open to listening to me and I completely trusted him with my case.... He also helped me to stay focused in a very difficult time. We went to court numerous times and I felt that I had excellent representation. We actually went to trial 4 times and each was a great experience. I felt that Mr.LaCilento was very well prepared and his focus was entirely on my case. All of Mr. LaCilento's office staff was always very helpful and sincere. Susan, in particular, is amazing and very knowledgable. I would recommend Mr. LaCilento to anyone who needs the very best expertise and an attorney with true dedication to fight for them in the Juvenile dependency system.

Best Custody/Dependency Attorney in California

Arthur LaCilento is absolutely the best custody attorney in Southern California. I have hired him twice for complex custody issues, and have been very happy with his results both times. Art is a brilliant, highly experienced and effective attorney, who is very aggressive in the court room; he does no...t give up, no matter the pressure. If you care about your children, this is the attorney that gets results for your family. Mr. LaCilento is a tough attorney who is also fair and has integrity. Various family law attorneys referred me to Mr. LaCilento several years ago when I first hired him; one attorney said he would trust his life in Art's hands. I was not disappointed. I hired him again recently, and once again, he did a brilliant job. It is not easy to find an experience, effective attorney to handle custody issues which are very specialized; many family law attorneys will not go near custody court, as they tell me it is very different from any other area of the law. I know that I am very fortunate to have found Arthur LaCilento, who not only takes care of the problems, but also has integrity and works to help families caught in the complexities of custody court. LaCilento is THE ONLY attorney I would ever hire for these types of issues! Whenever I am asked for a referral for a custody attorney, Arthur LaCilento is the only attorney I recommend. Thank you Art!

Top Lawyer for families in the dependency court

I had the most amazing attorney by the name of Arthur J La Cilento. I was in desperate need of a good qualified hard experienced attorney and I am so blessed to have art put in my path. Art will attest that my case was probably one of the ugliest cases he has had to handle but no matter how long it t...ook art never gave up on me and my kids he just kept fighting. He ripped the witnesses a new one he will not let you down he will fight fight and keep fighting what amazed me most of all is art was threatened with jail and fines more than once and that didnt stop him. I am so grateful to Art Susan and Gloria for all the long hours they put into my case You all are the best and if you are looking fror a Lawyer that cares about you and your family,a lawyer that knows all about the juvenile system that person is Art Call his office for quality representation!!!!!!!!!!!!
