A fighter that you want on your side

I had been previously divorced and had been taken to the cleaners. I was unaware of how bad I had been taken advantage of by my first attorney and my ex until I hired Mr. LaCilento. He came in, cleaned up the mess, and went to work changing the custody agreement and deficiencies in child support. Thi...s ultimately extended and increased my child support payments. He also went after arrears which was to my benefit. He and his wife make a great team. They went to bat for me, educated me on the law, and utilized doctors reports and past history to obtain child support for my adult special needs child. At times I felt discouraged and defeated, but Mr. LaCilento assured me this was a stepping stone and would benefit me in the long run. It took 2 years, but he was right. He was fair on the price for his services and worked with me on payments. I am eternally grateful to him and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a divorce or family law attorney.

A great advocate

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.

WORSE Lawyer I've EVER seen

I spent more money trying to get Art to fight my case than I spent on him fighting my case. All i tried to get him to do was refute the made up facts all he wanted to do was get more court dates he would claim he did some good then CPS would do otherwise. Nothing he did helped me or my kids at all. ...After I fired him two court dates later I had my kids back after the Judge got to hear my side. When he claim he know how they work because he worked As county CPS attorney remember he was the one who has taken other peoples kids he supported their lies and still does.

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.

Outstanding Attorney

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.
