Testimonials
“I hired Ms. Braaten to assist in an adoption. She handled everything, from the initial filing through the final hearing with the judge and all the parties in-between, making the entire process painless for me. She was quick to communicate with me when necessary and always responded in a timely manner if I had any questions. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her for any future needs.”
“If you are looking for an attorney who’s going to listen, care and help you than Arica is the person you need. As well as making you feel better about one of the worst things someone can go through she is honest with you up front. She will not simply take a case to have a client. She told me honestly and up front what the situation was and what she could do and what she would advise I do. I can not say enough to thank her for the complete sense of relief she brought to me knowing she was the one advising me. I have never felt a need to even question her about any part of my divorce case.”
“I appreciated Arica’s thoroughness and attentiveness. She truly made an unpleasant situation much less painful for me. I felt that she cared about my priorities and my needs. She was compassionate and patient with my situation and questions through the entire divorce. 10/10 would get divorced again.”
