Hurricane From Hell !!

All i have to say about Art is that if you are told by anyone else that it is impossible to win your case, they are lying and Arthur Lacilento will prove it! When he walks through the hall ways of the courthouse i swear its like a walking hurricane parting the red sea!!!! EVERYONE professional liter...ally steps aside as he walks by and when any DPSS social worker sees him walk in they know instantly its over and they are gonna lose!!! ARTHUR LACILENTO IS A BIG EXAMPLE OF AN ANGEL OF GOD!!!! I will be hiring him for myself soon after seeing what he did for a friend of mine after i referred them to him!!! Arthur, i look forward to seeing you soon!!

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.

Highly recommended!

We retained Mr. LaCilento as our attorney a little over a year ago. He is an extremely dedicated and highly efficient attorney who worked very hard on our case. He is very knowledgeable of the laws and procedures and it was amazing to see him utilize his expertise in court. Mr. LaCilento always ke...pt us informed and was responsive to our questions. We strongly feel that Mr. LaCilento, as well as his staff, put their hearts and souls into our case. We thank Mr. LaCilento for his excellent representation to our family and highly recommend him as an attorney.

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!

Best OC Juvenille and Child Custody Attorney

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.
