Arthur John Lacilento

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......

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.

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.

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!

My family was lucky enough to find Art LaCilento when we were faced with an unusual but serious family custody suit. Art was a Godsend, and we are so grateful to him and his team for their relentless efforts in and out of the court room. Art is an extremely well respected attorney in the Orange Count...y court system, and to say he is knowledgeable in Juvenile and Child Custody laws is an understatement. He is a fair and compassionate attorney that gets right down to business when it comes to his client's cases. If you are looking for a bulldog in the court room, and a no nonsense attorney that is a straight shooter with a high level of expertise, Art is the best in the OC court system. My family and I highly recommend Art and would not hesitate to use him again when necessary. I would refer him to any dear family member or friend who is in need. He spent many sleepless nights working relentlessly on our case, and was prepared in the court room without fail. We are forever grateful to Art and Susan for keeping our family together and using all aspects of the law to protect our family unit.
