Law Offices of Arthur J. LaCilento

Arthur J. LaCilento provided excellent representation in a juvenile custody case. They were knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to clearly explain the process. Their dedication and focus on the child's best interest made a difficult situation much easier. I highly recommend this attorney for juvenile custody/family law matter.

When another attorney recommended Mr. LaCilento I knew he was the right choice. From the start he went above and beyond. He and his wife even joined me on an emergency Sunday call that lasted hours and gave me the strength to move forward. What I thought would take six months resolved in just 103 days. His team was always responsive answering every text call and email promptly. He showed excellent client control keeping me focused during emotional moments and was very reasonable with billing being transparent fair and mindful of costs. One moment that stood out was when he acknowledged a small miscommunication and brought it to the judge’s attention. That honesty reflected true integrity. In court his preparation and confidence made me feel secure knowing he was fully invested in my case.Mr. LaCilento is also a man of faith and it shows in the compassion and dignity with which he treats his clients. My stress went from overwhelming to manageable because I trusted him completely.

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.

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 and brought a creative, thoughtful approach to our situation. Thanks again, Art!

Art is an expert in his field with true knowledge and compassion for what he does. He fights for what he believes in and knows what he is talking about! I have never been so worried as I was when I met Art, but I can say that he was there for me every step of the way. His wife Susan, helped me and they are a wonderful team. I could not say enough to how wonderful this form is and it is worth every bit of what the cost is.

Art is the top juvenile attorney in southern California. He is an experienced litigator and takes on the most difficult cases. I witnessed other attorney's asking Art for advice and during the litigation of my case in 3 different courts it was clear that everyone respected him. He is a tough litigator, but opposing counsel respects him. Juvenile cases have criminal, family, and appellate court aspects and Art is experienced and adept in all these courts. My family owes Art a debt of gratitude.SP

I would recommend this attorney for anyone wanting a fair fight in court. Unfortunately, it did not work in my favor, but nonetheless, he is a fair and strong attorney.

It is in my opinion that his paralegals did most of the work and helped me out tremendously. I would use his services again because of their help alone.
