Arthur John Lacilento

I had done a lot of research before hiring Art. I knew I needed not just any lawyer but a Super Lawyer to represent me in my case. I had never been in a position like I found myself in late September 2020. I had also never required legal assistance before this nightmare event in my life that I also ...never imagined I would ever be in. Prior to hiring Art, I was originally given a court appointed lawyer. For those of you that are unfamiliar, as I was not, my personal advice is to get rid of them as fast as possible. I never once felt that mine was there to represent me nor cared about the truth and/or the outcome of my case. I have also heard this after the fact from many others that had ever encountered requiring one. This was shocking to say the least but also a wakeup call that I needed to find my own representation and quickly. My only regret was not dropping my court appointed lawyer sooner. I was in such a daze and had a lot of confusion of what was taking place, I had naively assumed that since I was innocent the truth would set me free. Boy, I could not have been more wrong. It was only 3.5 months before I concluded that the truth was not going to set me free and began my search for my own legal representation. Unfortunately, those 3.5 months that I had already lost had been crucial, I didn’t understand the legal process and my court appointed lawyer was not forth coming or fighting for me that entire time while supposedly representing me. By the time I retained Art, I had already lost some valuable time in my case and didn't even realize it. If you are reading this and are in the beginning stages of a JV case or later stages for that matter, please do yourself a favor and don’t make the same mistakes I did. Drop your court appointed lawyer and retain real legal assistance. I wish I had been given this advice sooner. I was extremely thankful when Art & Sue came to the rescue in my case. As I have read in other posts, Art can be gruff and very direct when speaking with you. But to be honest, I didn’t care because what mattered most was how he performed in the court room and at my trials. All I can say to this, Art was phenomenal in the areas that I hired him for. I did not hire him to be my best friend, I hired him to be my best lawyer and that’s exactly what he did and was. I was impressed with Art's understanding of all the facts and details of my case. There was a lot going on and a lot to have to know prior to our trial. Art took the time to research and not just take my word or not take my word but to see for himself what the true facts were of my complicated case. I knew it was important to always be honest with your lawyer, how can they represent you and do a good job if you are not truthful with them? I am sure there are many out there that are not upfront but that does not help you or them, it only hinders you and makes their job that much more difficult and near impossible to help you overcome the case against you. I did not take it personal when Art wasn’t quick to believe or not believe what I told him as I understood it was not personal to me but more of what again makes him a great lawyer. He needed to review and research the facts for himself to know what he believed to be the truth. This is important because if he hadn’t done his own investigation of my case and I was lying, then it would have come out in trial. Because of what I personally do for a living, I understood this on a different level and understood the true value in this. I also cannot say enough great things about Sue. Sue is Art's right-hand woman, and she is amazing at what she does. You can see both Sue & Art's true dedication and concern for your case throughout the entire process. I can’t say there was ever a time that I could not reach them or that they did not return my call or text within a reasonable amount of time. When you are in a desperate situation, as I felt I was in, there is a lot of value in this alone.. My case i

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.

I hired Art over a year ago. Him & his team sue & virdie have been a blessing in mine & my childrens lives. I have had everything from familt to civin & criminal court. Art has been there 100%. Trust me when i say a lot of court dates. Art has won every single case. He is an amazing man i can never t...hank him & his team enought. God has blessed me with them when i had no family to turn to for help. This law firm is now a piece of my heart i consider them a piece of my family forever. My advice if you have a case big or small Art is the man. He doesnt take you're money to fail. He goes in full force 100% everything hes got & more to win you're case. I have great respect for this man
