Hired Fred back in December, held on to my retainer for nearly 2 months doing nothing. When I finally leaned on him to actually do something for my case I was met with Fred is in court 2 days he will get back to you type messages. One piece of filing was filled out incorrectly by his staff only to be realized after I had said documents notarized and sent out. Fred Called my me on Friday and we had a good plan for him to call the other party in my case, by Monday when he had talked to her it felt like I was talking to her attorney. Save your money go somewhere else you will be better off for it.

I went through a very drawn out, stressful divorce. I dont know where I would be right now if it wasnt for the professionalism of Michael Poe and his staff. He was always looking out for my best interests and I just knew I had nothing to worry about with him on my side. I am so grateful for all Michael did for me.

Mr. Arquilla’s knowledge and experience made the difference in helping me make sound decisions during my difficult divorce. His military background was extremely valuable which facilitated greatly with the negotiation process.Mr. Arquilla is very responsive and proactive with progress. It is clear that he has the best interests of his clients by explaining the options clearly and be very conscious time and money being spent. He stepped in of my behalf on several occasions by giving me total peace of mind. Mr. Arquilla made a significant difference in my life and I thanked him for it.

As soon as I met Fred, I knew I was dealing with one of the best. I was so nervous to begin the process of divorce, and Fred, with his professional and personal manner, gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. Even though I was overwhelmed with my situation, he got to the heart of my case quickly and was able to present my complaints effectively and succinctly to opposing counsel. Right from the beginning, he was two steps ahead of them.Fred is a stand-up individual who works with true integrity. Something that meant a lot to me- he strived to save me money in fees whenever possible. Plus, his hourly rate is the lowest I have seen, and the consultation was even free!My (ex) husband is a persistent individual. He tried to throw spokes in the process at every turn. Good thing Fred does not take any nonsense. He is a very cool, reasonable and fair person, but is not afraid to play hardball when needed.I gave my trust to Fred and it paid off. Make the appointment. You will be glad you did.

I thought I already wrote a review. Michael Poe was God sent when I was going through a divorce with an ex 2 years ago. He handled it professionally and he is compassionate to the story at hand. They return some of my money back which I deposited in an account with them. The front desk lady Crystal also very nice and professional. I will recommend.

I would’ve been a client of this place, but after my first initial consultation, I never heard anything back. I called twice after about two weeks of waiting and spoke with the receptionist, and I still never got a call back about starting my case. Oddly enough, I received multiple calls and emails once I wrote this review, begging for it to be taken down.

Mike was my divorce attorney for a contested divorce with a very uncooperative spouse and two young children. He is a consummate professional. Throughout the 18-month process, which was quite stressful for me, he provided measured advice based on his analysis, experience and, of course, the law. When my spouse would respond in highly emotional ways, he would not escalate the matter. He was always looking for the path of least resistance while protecting my interests, which is a difficult balance to maintain, and he did a great job. At the beginning my case appeared destined for an expensive court battle. But we eventually settled all aspects of the case in a 50/50 split of custody and a very fair split of assets, and I never saw the inside of courtroom. I was also able to live in my house the entire time and I still live there post-divorce. The result of the case was, quite frankly, unbelievable considering the point from which we were forced to start the process and how uncooperative my spouse was determined to be. Mike was also sensitive to my desire to keep costs under control, for which I am grateful. While I am an educated, intelligent person with a strong understanding of negotiation strategy, I never, ever would have achieved the final result without Mike. I cant thank Mike enough for his help.

I highly recommend Fred Arquilla and the legal services that he and his law firm provided. Fred listened carefully to my recounting of the issue at hand, asked detailed questions, and proposed possible resolutions, including one that would be cost saving for both parties. Unfortunately, the other party rejected the latter. Fred then skillfully and professionally guided me through all the preparations for our case and the subsequent court proceeding. Questions that I had were answered thoroughly and promptly. Thanks to his experience, knowledge, skill, and the professional way in which he handled my case, the resolution reached by the court was precisely what I sought. I am grateful for the outstanding service provided by Fred and his team.

Divorce is not easy. In fact, it is painful, stressful and expensive; but with a good lawyer who understands your concerns and who is affordable, you can get through it. After being married for so many years, I was simply afraid. Eventually, I got enough courage to consider a divorce. I made an appointment and met with Mr. Arquilla, owner of the firm. He was very experienced with divorce cases, and a kind considerate person. He listened to all my concerns and made recommendations that I could understand. Mr. Arquilla, and his very professional, knowledgeable and capable staff, are warm, compassionate people who will listen to you and fight for what you deserve. Mr. Arquilla came through for me. I am so grateful for having been his client and for all the help he and his staff provided to me throughout my divorce. Miz Nell

Fred Arquilla is an experienced, thoughtful and persistent attorney, well versed in family law matters and related court processes. He provided me with prudent council and followed up on details to help me resolve a legal issue--quickly. His first consult is free. Thereafter, I highly recommend hiring Mr. Arquilla--he was a thoroughly prepared and professional representative for me.

I highly recommend Fred Arquilla and his Team to anyone. He made an unbearable time a little more bearable. He took the time to answer my incessant questions patiently and personally and succeeded in getting me what I was owed in my divorce. I hope I never go through another divorce but if I did Id never use another attorney but Fred. Thank you, for everything!!

Mr. Arquilla and his staff were a godsend! I did not enter the divorce process lightly so when I decided to move forward, I wanted to get through it as quickly and economically as one could expect. Mr. Arquilla presented an amicable settlement agreement and plan for divorce, my ex refused to compromise. In spite of the arduous road ahead, Mr. Arquilla and his team managed to get me through the process with many of my desired outcomes met and some exceeded! Divorce isnt pleasant for anyone involved and this one took much longer than anticipated. I am grateful for the skilled, effective, professional way in which Arquilla and Associates handled my case and thankful for the outstanding service provided.

Mr. Poe has helped me with a difficult divorce and an unpredictable ex who enjoys picking fights. He has always shown patience and understanding, responded in a timely manner, and used clever arguments to help me maintain my sanity and protect my children. He is honest when my ideas will not work, and I completely trust his legal judgement. I highly recommend Michael Poe.

AAAAA+++++Michael Poe is an excellent and experienced lawyer. From day one he showed respect and care on my difficult and painful divorce. He listened and advised while I vented my frustrations. He was very professional, organized, informed me on any details and potential delays on paperwork. He processed the paperwork on my house deed so well written, and helped me to refinance my house faster. I also give kudos to the front office staff, I felt welcome every time I showed my face in the office, their care and reassurance during this difficult process kept me going thru the end. I highly recommend Mr. Michael PoeMary
