Excellent Family/Juvenile law Lawyer

Arthur LaCilento represented me in multiple family law and custody matters and provided outstanding legal representation. From our first consultation, it was clear that they were highly knowledgeable and well-prepared. They explained the law clearly, outlined realistic expectations, and developed a... thoughtful strategy tailored to my situation. Communication was excellent throughout the process. I was kept informed, my questions were answered promptly, and I always felt that my case a priority. Arthur LaCilento demonstrated professionalism, strong advocacy, and genuine concern for both my interests and my child's well-being. I am very pleased with the outcome of my cases and would strongly recommend Arthur LaCilento to anyone seeking an experienced and trustworthy family law attorney.

A Voice of Strength When I Had None

At one of the lowest moments of my life, during a heartbreaking custody battle, I felt completely powerless. My children had been exposed to a traumatic situation, and I was overwhelmed with guilt and fear, feeling like I had failed them. A friend referred me to Arthur Lacilento, and from our very... first conversation, I knew I was in good hands. He was direct, grounded, and consistently reminded me to stay calm and focused. What truly stood out was his accessibility, he was always available, whether by phone or text, and never left a single message unanswered. On the day of court, Arthur clearly laid out how he expected things to unfold. He was strategic, confident, and incredibly well-prepared. Thanks to his representation, I was awarded sole custody of my children. The court also ordered the other party to pay attorney fees, and I was granted child support. Arthur didn’t just represent me legally, he gave me hope when I had none. I am forever grateful.

When experience matters

Art and his team were fantastic throughout our custody case. We truly don’t think we could’ve won without him. He brings experience from every angle of foster, adoption, and custody cases—and we were grateful to have him on our side instead of the other way around. Art knows the law inside and out an...d brought a creative, thoughtful approach to our situation. Thanks again, Art!

Protects his clients

Art has been my attorney for over 5 years. Having an ex who is stubborn, my case has been long, drawn out, and extremely difficult (everyone has rights). During this time, I have come to learned that there is a process to the legal system that is complicated and I am very thankful that Art has been t...here to fight for me and my children. His knowledge of the law and his strategic sense has protected us and given my children immense support. He fights for what is right. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking child custody, support, or divorce issues.

Great attorney

Hired Art for divorce & child custody. Art worked diligently for us, & always showed great care & compassion. Always worked for the best interest of me and my child. The marriage ended, but protecting the child & her rights were super important Art & I. Art is an advocate for children, in my case div...orce, but in all cases the child is of utmost importance to Art. If you have an issue that involves juveniles, Arthur LaCilento is the attorney for you.
