I had the great pleasure of working with Arlene and her staff, for an issue I had from my divorce,…read moremy ex refused to pay a court ordered (good sized) equalization- payment to me, for over six years in arrears.
The ex is a millionaire, and I am not even close.... the sum he was ordered to pay me was a mere drop in the bucket for him.
No other Law firm I contacted would talk about handling my case, except for I need to give them a special credit card that they could use on tap, at huge rates for their whole legal team, never really told me what they could do for me, nor did they care. They wanted to know about me issuing a credit card first and foremost. These were all men.
I gave up
after to speaking to the men of three law firms just like that.
Five years later, I decided to look again for attorneys... I came across Arlene by scrolling on the net for lawyers once again...in San Ramon
Immediately I like the way Arlene looked, for starter she's a woman, I was tired of the emotionless men, only in it for the $$...Arlene strong, female, fit and I love that , that means serious and disciplined, and the years of legal experience she had, impressed me. True sharp professional
I sent Arlene an email of my problem of my over- six year non payment of a court order from my ex.
Arlene told me my ex was in contempt of court, not he isn't paying me, and smiling about it, he is telling the court to F-off. It's the court who ordered that Payment it had a begin date and an end date to pay... and he blew it off, he's in contempt of court and over six years he's going to have some sanctions to pay.
Arlene assured me she worked cases like this in her practice, who've done the same thing to wives like me. These men all end having to pay sanctions, end up paying their ex-wives, so much more than the original sum, the court ordered.
I knew right there I wanted Arlene to represent me, she didn't talk about how much money she would need from me, or I have to give her a credit card to use at her & her team's leisure.. she talked about me, winning, what I could expect and my ex ( is playing a losing game)
We discussed fee shortly after .. It was Saturday.. that following Monday I I gave her a retainer utilized my savings account to pay for this case, she said I'll make it all back and my attorney fees are usually paid by the x-husband who put x-wives in the position to open a case.
Needless to say Arlene won my case, my Ex had to pay over double his original sum the court originally ordered in 2019
It was all due in one large lump sum, within seven days. If he was late he was warned more sanctions would incur, that's exactly what Arlene said would happen.
My ex paid in one check early before due date ended... and he never spoke to me again, because he planned to screw me over by withholding this from me, so I could never have a down payment to buy a house. This ex also thought he was smarter than Arlene.
Arlene I know saved the day for me. m so glad I listened to her and all her advise.
Everything Arlene said was true she went up to bat like a pro and did everything she said she would.
Arlene is worth every penny, and she takes care of a lot of people and their cases, so if it takes time to resolve your case, so be it. Do you want to win and get justice or you want hasty instant gratification Where mistake can happen?
I have read some of these negative comments about Arlene, ie. "how long it takes her to finish a case" and how expensive she is.... it took a few months for my case, and worth it, "expensive" All attorney's are expensive. you get what you pay for.
Some lawyers are not as strong, thorough, tremendously intelligent, savvy, cares about your case and you, her experience rules.
with Arlene you win and you feel it right away.
