Arthur John Lacilento

Art LaCilento is a great advocate for his clients. He will fight for what is right and he will also be honest and let the client know what can't be done. He is a good Christian man who lives by Biblical principles to fight for what is best for his client. My ex made outrageous demands in the settle...ment and Art said, "... I will be committing legal malfeasance if I were to let you agree to this." I negated the demands, and 2 weeks later we had a settlement that best benefited the child and me. A client cannot ask for a better advocate nor have a better fighter for what is right.

I have known and worked with Mr. Lacilento for years. He is an outstanding advocate for his clients. More than once, I have seen him obtain exceedingly positive results in cases that I thought would go down in flames. He works tirelessly for his clients, and at what I consider to be an extremely reas...onable price. You can't go wrong selecting Mr. Lacilento for your attorney.

To give a little back round on the logistics of my case first. I was involved in a bitter custody battle with my x wife for 2 years and investigated 2 times by CPS receiving letters unfounded for sexual abuse and abuse etc. The investigation was very complex, ranging from police to social workers a...nd all the claims were found to be untrue against me. Then I proceeded to a 3 day trial in family court in DTLA where the Judge decided I was a good father and the allegations of sex abuse and abuse never occurred.I was awarded joint custody with my X wife. 1 month later CPS came to my door and told me they were taking my child away because they believed I sexually abused my child. I was now in Dependency court, which by the way I have never knew existed. Think about it, I just finish family court which was very costly then I arrive in another court on the same charges. My first thought was Res judicata. How do you charge a person on the same charges that were already litigated by a prior Judge in a different court. My next thought was does this have to do with me being a Black male in America???? At that point I hired Arthur John Lacilento, and I was very skeptical because he is built like a Ford Truck, Tuff. Meaning he has a strong head and if you hire him you need to follow him down that road. It was very hard to snap in line when he called me on my bullshit or put me in line with his plan, and the plan was to win. I was so proud that City Counsel, Minor's counsel, X wife lawyer could not even get off a question without Art objecting and making them all look like fools. Bottom line is this Lawyer is hands down worth every cent. He won the case and reunited me with my daughter after almost a year. I asked for expedited trial but city always seems to try bleed you with appearances for 3 hours send you back home to make sure your still kicking lol. I think I had go that court like 20 times this year, and then 2 day trial. When its all said and done I will refer Art to anyone looking for a Winner, This man saved my life and brought my 9 year old daughter back in my life all charges dismissed. Don't ever ever take a deal in Dependency court if Arthur John Lacilento is representing you. City tried to offer me more deals then Black Friday and I laughed Because I knew Art was with me to the end. Thank you Art, and when they read my history they will say all charges dismissed. Legacy intact.

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.
