a true fighter

I have worked with Art for the past 15 years and have never seen a more dedicated trial advocate. When my family needed an attorney I retained Art and got great results. Art will not be intimidated by any opposition and will fight to the bitter end.

A FIERCE Litigator!! The Very Best with Decades of Experience

I was referred to Mr. Lacilento by a woman who leads pro-parent (anti-DCFS) advocacy groups and she's proven to know her stuff, without a doubt. Art has been described as a fighter many times and having seen him in action, there is no question that that is exactly what he is. After hearing all the ...atrocious lies and twisted truths about me as presented by the opposing counsel, I didn't think my daughter and I had a chance in the world at having the allegations dropped. He proved me wrong. He's AMAZING. LET HIM DRIVE. He knows what he's doing and everyone in these courts knows and respects him. He had me and my family's best interests at heart at every turn and I believe he will do the same for you.

Arthur LaCilento is simply the best

Hands down simply the best. I had the most difficult time in my life in dealing with CFS. After meeting and talking with Art I knew right away he was going to represent me. I retained Art and he did the best job an attorney can do. The outcome was very good. He even went out of his way to contact my ...criminal attorney and gave him some guidance which was very helpful because I felt my criminal attorney wasn't doing his job. I praise Art for going out of his way and doing that me. If you are going with another attorney PLEASE just give Art a call and meet with him before you do so. He will represent you very well like he did for me. Arts prices are reasonable compared to other attorneys I spoke to. The last thing I would like to add is the office personal is great and very professional. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.

A truly caring attorney

I reached out to Art for some advice involving my four children and a very vindictive social worker. I had a hearing the next day, things were not looking well and my attorney had a family emergency. I was honest and open that I had already retained an attorney and was simply seeking advice. Art, had... no financial incentive to help me, none whatsoever, I was just hoping he'd offer me some advice, as I'd heard he was the top dog in fighting Social Services. He asked me what time my hearing was, what courtroom it was in and told me he had to be at the same court that day and would meet with me. He took the time to offer me advice several times throughout the day. Spoke with the attorneys, argued on my kids behalf out in the hall and all out of the goodness of his heart. I've retained many attorneys over the past eight years, as a result of my husband's death. I've yet to meet one attorney who truly had no financial gain and cared enough to help. I took the time to write this review because this is an attorney who actually is passionate about what he does and who cares about protecting the families caught in this awful system. All four of my children were returned home that day. Art, you are a true crusader for justice and a man who cares about the families caught in this ugly system. On behalf of myself and my children, a big thank you for renewing our faith in the concept of an attorney who actually cares about the children he fights for......

An experienced, passionate and trustworthy Attorney

Mr. Arthur LaCilento represented me in a very complex family law case. I previously had retained a firm in South Orange County that was more interested in the wellbeing of my check book than my legal interest or my family. I immediately retained Mr. LaCilento months before trial. Mr. LaCilento pre...pared all the necessary documents, motions and exhibits in order to prepare for trial in a very short amount of time. He worked diligently and passionately on my case. He would answer my questions and was always available by phone in order to assist me with my case. His positive attitude and outgoing drive resulted in the success of my case. He was always well prepared for court and when we walked into court I knew I was being represented by the "best and most compassionate attorney ever". My family is truly blessed because of all the hard work and dedication by Mr. LaCilento and his staff. He is passionate about his clients and is dedicated to achieving the best outcome and results for each and every one of his clients.
