  • When I left the court room that day I was so happy my blood pressure went down.

    Mr. Arnel thank you very much for your help. When I received the court paper I wanted to call someone for help, you were the first Lawyer I call. You had help me before with some child support difficulties. And when I couldn't reach you, you daughter, Lawyer Lauren Arnel answered the phone. She was very understanding and kind enough to give me your email address. The day I came to New York City for the court date, I came with a heavy heart not knowing what's going to happen. But in the court that day Lawyer Howard Gardner presented the case beautifully and ask the court for a dismissal. And the Judge had to dismiss the case with no further argument. When I left the court room that day I was so happy my blood pressure went down.

    All in all, It was a team work from your Firm. Thank you again to Mrs. L. Arnel and Mr. H. Gardner.

    I will always recommend you Firm to anyone who is seeking legal help.

    Mr. Arnel thank you very much.

  • They are honest from the start
    Excellent law firm. I am a father/service member that was awarded primary physical custody, final decision making of my son, and my child support payments was terminated thanks to Arnel law Firm. Curt, Lauren and Howard have years of experience and will represent you like Mike Tyson in the ring. They are relentless to the very end. They were able to prove that I was the more involved parent, had my son the majority of the time ( because of the mother choices), and was able to prove the mother's statement of having our son half the time was false along with many other false statements. Also they are honest with you from the beginning in terms of letting you know whether or not your case has enough substance to move forward to a court proceeding and even if its not they will advise you in the consultation what steps you will need to take. They will not waste your or their time. Highly recommend this law firm for divorce and custody battles.

    Mr. Arnel and his daughter Ms. Lauren Arnel litigated my divorce jurisdiction dispute with complete success. I felt very confident in their advocacy of my case. Mr. Arnel is a gifted attorney; I could not have asked for better. He is highly persuasive, professional, doesn't mince words, yet gracious and gentlemanly at the same time. He inspires confidence, and the outcome proved my confidence in him was well placed.

  • So Attentive and Knowledgeable.
    I was extremely devastated when I reached out to the law office due to concern over a potential custody battle. I left a message and was contacted the same day and time that I was given. Curt was so attentive and knowledgeable. All of the questions I had were answered. I left the phone call feeling 100 times better than I did when I originally called. Even after asking a bunch of questions knowing that I wouldn't need his services he continued to answer questions with honest answers making it very clear how efficient he was in his field. I am very happy that I found him and honestly hope I won't have to use him in the future. However if the services are needed I would definitely pick him!

  • Lauren and this firm are my go-to for help with family legal matters.
    Arnel Law Firm handled my child support case which turned out in my favor. Lauren, who was my lawyer on the case, was amazing. With COVID delaying my court appearance, she ensured my son's mother and I were aware of all scheduling changes. When we appeared in court I was amazed at how she pleaded to the Judge, ensuring the Judge had all the facts to bring my case to victory. Lauren and this firm are my go-to for help with family legal matters. Thanks for everything, Lauren.

  • Curt was the only one who showed some understanding and concern. He made me feel comfortable and was always available to answer any of my questions.

    After meeting with quite a few lawyers for my custody and support cases, Curt was the only one who showed some understanding and concern. He made me feel comfortable and was always available to answer any of my questions. Last Friday he represented me for my support case and I know I wouldn’t have walked away with what I was granted if I would have done it on my own. He was cool, calm and collected (total opposite of how I was feeling lol). With that victory, I knew I was going to hire him for my custody case. He’s well prepared and organized, I highly recommend him. When it’s time for my divorce case, I know who to go to.

  • They will get the job done right.
    I have been using this team of lawyers for a child custody case as a father. I have been through many lawyers in the past that could not follow through with what they have said, but this is not the case here at Arnel Law Firm. They have been extremely well prepared for court appearances and are not afraid to speak up to refute the opposing party or get their point across. They have taken my needs into consideration and have made last minute court appearances in order to benefit my case. I would highly recommend this team to anyone, but especially fathers, as they have not been biased at all throughout this case. I will continue to use their services in the future, and I am sure they will get the job done right. Again, I would highly recommend this set of lawyers to anyone with an extremely tough case. They are straight forward and will get the results they say they will. It is hard to find a great set of lawyers; this place is it.

  • Impressed by his knowledge of family court law & ease of which to talk to regarding my case.

    Curt Arnel did a fantastic job negotiating & representing me in my child support modification case. I was impressed by his knowledge of family court law & ease of which to talk to regarding my case. After retaining Curt my case was resolved in 3 court visits 1 of which was due to the magistrate adjournment. He was also able to negotiate on my behalf with my ex-wife towards a resolution (something I haven't been able to do in the 11 years since our divorce) with the outcome being acceptable for both sides. In short, I would highly recommend Mr.Curt Arnel regarding all matters of Family/Matrimonial law.

  • The firm went the extra mile to research and assist.
    Curt Arnel and Lauren Arnel are outstanding lawyers. The firm went the extra mile to research and assist. They helped dismiss an unwarranted child support case brought against me in the Family Court of New York by challenging equitable estoppel. I was the child's step father and the firm demonstrated that the Assignor did not establish an ongoing relationship between the child and myself. Lauren via diligent legal research and excellent preparation, dramatically helped with the cross examination results. Curt is a top notch professional that knows the law and it showed up in court. I would recommend them to anyone that needs the best. God job. Exceptional results.

  • Curt is a straight shooter and told me what to expect.
    Divorces are seldom pleasant, and mine was surreal at times.

    Thankfully, Mr. Arnel and his associates kept me focused and grounded. Curt is a straight shooter and told me what to expect. Throughout the divorce process, the firm kept me informed. Any questions I had were answered quickly, honestly, and courteously.

    Most importantly, Mr. Arnel and his attorneys gave me the support I needed, both legal and moral, during a most difficult time. While dealing with the courts and attorneys, I always felt secure knowing that Curt had my back.

    Thanks to their help, I am feeling better now than I have in years and have a positive outlook for the future. For these reasons, I would wholeheartedly recommend Curt Arnel & Associates to anyone looking for a dedicated and experienced divorce attorney.
