Curt Arnel, Esq. appearing on ABC News as the legal expert on the Brittney Spears custody battle

Experienced Brooklyn, New York, Divorce and Family Law Firm

My divorce and family law firm—Curt Arnel, Esq.—is located in downtown Brooklyn, New York, and serves clients in Manhattan, Queens, Kings County, Staten Island, the Bronx, as well as, Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester.

While some attorneys practice a wide variety of law, I focus exclusively on divorce and family law. I handle uncontested divorces, contested divorces, child support, child custody, visitation, grandparents' visitation rights, divorce mediation and arbitration, child abuse and neglect, and paternity. I represent clients with name changes, as these often arise in paternity cases. I also represent clients in appeals to higher courts. I have been practicing divorce law exclusively for 25 years and have helped thousands of people. Because of my experience in the field, appellate courts have entrusted me with mentoring other divorce and family law attorneys. I spend a lot of time reading and researching divorce law to keep current on trends and changes in the field so I can get the best results for my clients.

In addition to being a lawyer, I am also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). My financial background provides a great advantage to my clients in the complex financial matters involved in divorce and family law, such as equitable distribution of property, child support, alimony / spousal support / maintenance, and tax issues.

Client-Centered Service

First of all, I am a good listener. I believe lawyers learn more by listening than by speaking. I allow my clients to express themselves. Once I find out what is most important to a client, I can apply a vast amount of legal knowledge and experience to achieving that result.

I am totally accessible to my clients. I welcome and encourage clients to e-mail me so I can offer a thoughtful written reply they can receive at any time day or night. Responding by e-mail allows me to compose my thoughts and give my clients a considered response. My clients, in turn, can print out my response for their own records and refer back to it later. Of course, we also return every phone call promptly and schedule in-office appointments as well.

“The Will to Prepare to Win Is More Important Than the Will to Win”

It is very important to me to get the particular results my clients want. Careful, thorough preparation leads to the best results. My staff and I work from early in the morning until late at night to do that. I don’t ever want to have a case where I was out-prepared by another lawyer. That is my commitment to you.
