Cecily Patterson Skarda

Cecily is the attorney you absolutely want on your side when facing a tough divorce. She stood by me every step of the way and fought strategically against every angle the other party tried. Her knowledge of the law is impressive, and she is not afraid to stand firm when it comes to doing what is right. Beyond divorce cases, Cecily is also incredibly compassionate and skilled when helping families with powers of attorney, living wills, and court orders for loved ones in need. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and truly cares about her clients and their families. She is an all-around outstanding attorney — knowledgeable, determined, and dedicated. She also handles criminal cases, so if you need strong representation, I highly recommend giving her a call.

Cecily is a winner!! She gets in there and gets the job done. She never left me hanging and always kept me in the loop and she broke it all down to where I could understand where we were in the hole litigation. She communicated with me over weekends and holidays as well I never felt like I was left out. Hands down hire her she will win your case. She got me what I wanted plus more.

Look no further, you have found your lawyer. Cecily Skarda is everything you expect a lawyer to be and even more. She fights for you and speaks with conviction in the courtroom that will leave you speechless with goosebumps. Remember, you are a team. She is representing you so provide her with every necessary detail you can, and I promise, she will deliver. When she speaks, she grasps everyone’s attention in the courtroom, and she defends you like you are family. I have never seen anything like it. She knows the law and presents your case with confidence and determination that is admired by everyone in the room. You can’t help but listen to her and admire her. If you’re reading this, you are probably in a place in life where you feel lost and hopeless because a spouse is trying to paint you out to be someone that you’re not. I understand, I’ve been there. I felt like there was no where to turn. No one to help me. Until a friend of mine told me to call Cecily. She changed my life.

Doesn’t stay in communication with her clients. Refuses to provide an engagement agreement that she has been officially reprimanded for by the Arkansas Supreme Court. https://attorneyinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov/info/attorney/Attorney_Search_Detail.aspx?ID=b581cff6-1ab4-4423-b2a9-171d796c94ba Tells you to “Stop!” when you email her information that is pertinent to your case. (screenshots available) Yells and curses at you on the phone (phone recordings available). Ignores numerous requests to meet. Refuses to keep you posted on the status of your case and acts like it’s an imposition when you ask for updates. If you’re looking for an attorney who will ignore your calls and emails, not provide you with an engagement agreement outlining what they are doing for you and for how much, will curse and yell at you when they actually do call you back, will keep you in the dark, will refuse to provide you case documents they have received from the other party, etc., then Cecily is your girl.

She is terrible at communication. She does not care about her clients at all. She ignored my attempts at trying to reach her for weeks at a time until the day before court. I would not recommend her to anyone for any reason.
