Client Testimonials

I have worked with many attorneys over the years. I know good and I know mediocre. I have had the great good fortune to work with her on some matters and am impressed with how knowledgeable, efficient and effective she is. She is a 10 out of 10 in my view. I have referred clients to her and the feedback has always been top rate. I have been thanked for making a referral to her after the client met with her. You are in great hands here!

Scared to death of going to court. After hiring Arlene and fighting back, I got the results I wanted. Absolutely loyal and the best.

Very few attorneys are as experienced as is Arlene, know all the ropes and really care about the best outcome for each and every client. Additionally, she keeps her costs as reasonable as possible. You will not find a better advocate at a more reasonable cost or at any cost. 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!

— Amper S

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. Arlene's professional demeanor makes opposing counsel look like thugs, yet she's tenacious and tough and obviously well respected in the courts. You'll be grateful she's on your side; I know I am. Thanks Arlene- you are my rock!

— Stafford S.

One of the most accomplished attorneys I've worked with in my nasty child custody case. I had two other attorneys before her that just didn't get it or help me understand what should be done to best run my case. She knew the court, the judges and knew how to master the management of the legal process. I have my kids now thanks to her.

— Bill M

I have been Arlene's client for the last 5 years. All I can say is she is the best attorney I have ever used on my messy case. She is always dependable, hard working, a model attorney always trying to follow the concept of working together on a case with the other side first and foremost rather than fight for fighting sake. Because of her talents, my Kids are happy with my custody plan and I do not think I will have to go back to court again for a long time because Arlene got a great settlement we all can all live with. If you want to hire the best she is it!!!!

Ms Kock is the BEST! Plain and simple. Her staff was awesome ensuring I was in the loop at all times since I was an out of state Father and the work of the team was of great quaility. More important Ms. Kock is a caring person and stayed with me the entire time of the ordeal. She made sure my son had all the right tools and always showed me what would be right for my son. He came first and I trusted her with my son. She is my family now and at times when I need advice she has never left my side nor has her team. She is just a wonderful person and an honest person.
