Testimonials

Arlene was my savoir. Arlene and her professional staff became like a family to me, looking after me and my kids well being and protecting our legal rights to fight for the life we deserve. Arlene has always been responsive to any concerns I have had and she had been addressing my issues not only as a legal attorney but as well as empathetic human being.

Michaela L.

Arlene and her team did a fantastic job of helping me finalize my divorce. I had worked with other attorneys who created a mess, but Arlene's team was able to straighten it out and move everything forward.

Thom H.

So relieved to have Arlene Kock guiding me legally. Her experience and knowledge of very complex family law matters has been the saving grace of a terrible situation. Her almost encyclopedic grasp of the finer points of custody and visitation is amazing and such an advantage in negotiations.

Stafford S.

I have had the great good fortune to work with Arlene on some matters and am impressed with how knowledgeable, efficient and effective she is. She is a 10 out of 10 in my view.

If you ever need an excellent, tough and compassionate attorney to represent you on divorce or custody matters, I can enthusiastically recommend Arlene. She is the best!

Arlene is an expert problem solver and does not beat around the bush to get things done. She gets things-tasks completed but always shows a human element and attention to detail.
