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.

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!

Do yourself justice, Arthur will!

Arthur LaCielento is a great lawyer and a good person. He and Susan worked hard to have my case air tight and rock solid before even going in front of the judge. He fought hard and brought his A game, opposing counsel had little defense against him. could not have won my case without Arthur, Susan a...nd his team and I am grateful to him for working so hard to close that stressful chapter in my life.

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.

Ferocious

Looking for an attorney is overwhelming, finding one that can actually fight for you using the law is even harder. I was desperate looking for someone who could help me and had a lot of options. From the moment I spoke to Mr. LaCilento, I knew he made me feel protected. In juvenile court, he appeared... to know more laws and codes than the judge as I saw her look a few up after he cited them. He dominates in a multi-entity courtroom. He was able to get my case dismissed because I followed his instructions. Do NOT argue with this man, you will not win. He is really in this field to help and has so much knowledge to navigate within the law. I was so pleased with his dedication and response time that I hired him for family law after my juvenile case was DISMISSED in what seemed to be impossible or a huge rarity considering the position I was in! I will forever have respect for this attorney and would recommend him to anyone I love or like, but never an enemy. I would not want to go up against his ferocious litigant. I am still in family court and he is doing a superior job. I have had a few attorneys and can attest that he calls back, he gets the job done and works hard, he does not send other attorneys in for him. I’m not sure I would be able to find anyone better. Thank you Mr. LaCilento, you rock and so does your staff. ***review on google and yelp***
