I have used Arnold & Smith, PLLC for many years and Matt Arnold to represent me for numerous legal services including; separation agreement, divorce, child custody agreement, adoption, wills, power of attorney, healthcare proxy, and living wills. I can tell you that I have experienced the personalized care that each client receives and my phones calls and emails were all answered promptly. You will not feel like a number at this firm, your win is their win and they take it as personal as you do. This is why I have recommended their firm to many friends and family over the years, all of whom have been very satisfied with their services. In addition, one of the founding partners, Matt Arnold, a Board Certified Family Law Specialist, was recently chosen as a 2019 Super Lawyer for the State of North Carolina in which in 5% of all attorneys are selected. So, I highly recommend Matt Arnold and the rest of the firm at Arnold & Smith, PLLC to handle all of your legal needs!

Ronnie Crisco put my mean-spirited, dishonest and kooky client in her place who defamed me on the internet. His letter to her was perfect, and she then removed the egregious review before I had to take her to court. Mr. Crisco is an awesome attorney whom I want to express my gratitude to for doing an excellent job!

I can’t rave enough about this law firm. Ronnie is top of the line. Professional, caring and looking out for the best interest of parties involved. He takes the time to listen, explain, and makes sure you are confident of the discussions you will make in some hard situations. While guiding me through divorce & child custody proceedings he is fully dedicated and handles matters promptly, I cannot thank him enough.

Staff is very professional. They always call to remind you of any up coming court dates and offer an update on your case. Mr. Smith was fantastic is the court room. Very professional and willing to help in any way he could. They also did a very good job at explaining everything in detail. If I ever need a lawyer again I know exactly where to go.

Ronnie and Cheryl are compassionate, tactful, thorough and professional. Highly recommend.

Ronnie Crisco made an extremely difficult process bearable. He is definitely in it for his clients best interests, always!

Update on 3/22/2018: I have been actively engaged with the Arnold and Smith team in the many months since my first review of the Lake Norman office; have been with A&S for many years prior to the LKN office opening. Since my first review of the Lake Norman office I had written, I had the pleasure of working with Ronnie Crisco in great depth now, A&S partner, whom works out of Lake Norman. I can see exactly why he is a partner and a perfect fit for the A&S team. He clearly navigated me of our strategy in a very cloudy case due to multiple frivolous or outright false claims in motions/contempts filed by my daughter's mother. He works diligently with the court system, judges, and other lawyers in Iredell County to reach the exact outcomes we were looking for while being responsive, efficient, and extremely knowledgable on possible scenarios. In the court room, he is clearly respected by Iredell judges, aggressive, and talented. I have had to sit through hours in that courtroom watching other cases without any phone, and he stands out above the rest. If you are looking for the best talent in LKN area for child custody battles, and I'm sure any of his fields of expertise, you should retain Ronnie before you risk going up against him.

Original Post: Matt Arnold, his paralegal Joanna, and the rest of the Arnold and Smith lawyers and support team are the hands down the best family law firm in Charlotte. I have been working with them for years and driving from Mooresville to Uptown so I can be represented by the best so it was great to hear they now have an office in the Lake Norman area. They represented me in a highly contentious emergency/child custody case and were able to secure the results I was looking for. Matt is well known throughout the area, tough in the court room, and also has a direct way of working with you to not allow you to get sidetracked with emotions, and focus on the task at hand. I highly recommend them to anyone fighting for their children, going through a tough separation, and wants to bring the best team to the courtroom. I have also used their firm to write my will. Ronnie Crisco out of Mooresville has also represented me and is tough in the court room and has great relationships in Iredell County.

Mr. Crisco thank you so much for your help! You and your team were very professional and responsive throughout our case. We appreciate your expertise and the great customer service provided by you and your team at Arnold & Smith, PLLC. We will most definitely recommend you to our friends, family and clients that would benefit from your services. - Gary Espin

Quick Response to initial request, Quick processing of case, timely updates and excellent resolution with a same-day communication.
11/10---would recommend Jeff Thompson's services!

Ronnie and staff were exceptional in both communication and execution. From the first interaction with Cheryl to meeting Ronnie and Ben I felt completely confident that there would be no problem handling a difficult situation with immediate action and understanding. I was right and he brought results and closure in half the time as the previously failed attempts of other attorneys.

From the moment I walked through the door Cheryl and Ronnie they made me feel comfortable in a not so comfortable situation I had been put in. Ronnie was professional but also personable to the point where I felt at ease, which is so important when you are in a difficult time in your life. Ronnie stuck with me for almost 2 years through what seemed was a never ending issue. His strength and knowledge helped me to come out ahead in my case. Ronnie is nothing but honest, respectable, well cultured in Law- all the while helping you to feel confident in him and his team. He does not cut corners and is laser- focused on your case and your best interest. I am lucky to have had him represent me and would highly recommend him to anyone. And Cheryl his assistant is just great! She was always available to speak with me and put me at ease each and ever time I met with her or spoke to her. Can't thank these two enough.

I would highly recommend Ronnie Crisco to anyone seeking an attorney. He is not only honest and fair but also is very knowledgeable. He is The Best at what he does. With my case he was very helpful and very upfront. It was a privilege of having him by my side in my separation/child custody/divorce case which I thought would never end. But with his intelligence and negotiations, I was able to get a fair share in my situation at ease. And what can I say about Cheryl she is just Amazing, Awsome, Truesome and very very helpful. Always serves you with comfort and a smile It's only because of Ronnie and Cheryl, I am where I am today and I am incredibly grateful to both of them. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart for your Outstanding Services in Representing my case.

Ronnie & Cheryl did an AMAZING job on my custody case. The outcome was exactly what we had hoped for, thanks for their hard work and dedication to my case. I am forever grateful to them for fighting not only for me but my daughter as well! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!

Ronnie was not only very professional, to the point and knowledgeable but never stopped fighting for my interests as a father and husband in a very difficult situation resulting in pretty much everything I asked for when most would have just given up.

I did a lot of research before choosing an attorney to help me with my custody battle. I landed with Ronnie Crisco and was very pleased from the initial consultation. I ended up staying with him through his move to Arnold & Smith, and I am so glad I did. Ronnie was very attentive, knowledgeable, caring and patient. I wanted someone who would go to bat for me the way I wanted, and Ronnie did just that. He gave sound advice, but never pushed me in a direction I was unwilling to go. His knowledge and experience resulted in very little compromising on our end, which we all know has to happen in situations of custody battle. Even after court, Ronnie has been very quick to respond to any of my questions and concerns. I am probably a little more demanding than most clients, but Ronnie has never made me feel like a nuisance throughout the process. I highly recommend him and Cheryl, and plan to stick with them, if and when I will require their help and services in the future.

We researched carefully before choosing Matt Arnold and his team, and we were not disappointed. They delivered time and again in spite of a difficult case. I would and do recommend Matt to anyone needing assistance with family law matters.

Ronnie Crisco is competent and thorough. He always has my best interest in mind.

Matt and his staff are second to none!! I was dealing with a custody situation with my daughter that was frustrating to say the least! I was upfront and honest about my situation, and Matt was the same with me 100% of the time!

Matt, Ashley, and Joanna were spot on when it came to filing papers and meeting deadlines, communicating new issues, and guiding me in the right direction of what I needed to do. This was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to deal with, and they were with me every step of the way! I got exactly what I wanted in custody with my daughter, and we settled out of court in mediation.

I consulted with at least a half a dozen different attorneys before I found Arnold & Smith. Do yourself a favor and save time and money, go directly to Arnold & Smith with your legal needs! You can trust them!!

Ronnie Crisco was extremely helpful during my separation/divorce. He walked me through the separation agreement/divorce decree, step by step, discussing the meaning behind each and every section. His advice and counsel during this difficult process was invaluable, and his professionalism was outstanding. My process went much smoother than I anticipated and was completed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a hardworking, professional, and extremely intelligent attorney.

I have worked with Ronnie Crisco before. He is very professional with a small town attitude added on. He gets to know his client and aims for the fairest and best results through the process.

I have used Ronnie Crisco's services for several years, I especially like his attention to detail, he has a positive attitude and asks the right questions to find out how he can help. Ronnie has always been quick to respond to any questions that I had. Patti B.
