Truly on My Side in a High-Conflict Divorce Feb 27, 2024

I worked with Melanie Clatanoff on a high conflict divorce involving custody arrangements. I felt she was truly on my side and listened to what I wanted while still offering solid strategy on how to get to the finish line. It was a relief knowing I could trust her to advocate for me. She kept me informed and was available to answer questions I had along the way. Will absolutely work with Melanie again if I ever have other legal needs!

Makenzie Arnold is the real deal. Dec 13, 2025

Makenzie Arnold is the real deal. My first attorney left family law 6 months into our complicated custody case. That was scary at first, but turned out to be a gift, because then I hired Makenzie Arnold. Immediately, I knew I was in more capable hands. I've spent nearly 3 years now with Makenzie by my side and can confirm that every positive review about this woman is 100% accurate. I wholeheartedly recommend her. She is one of the most authentic human beings I know and easily one of the most competent, badass attorneys in NWA. Makenzie carries herself with integrity. She balances compassion and kindness with no-nonsense honesty. She's well-educated and has a sharp, strategic mind and great sense of humor. She has a good working relationship with her colleagues and is respected by local judges. Makenzie has excellent communication skills. She consistently responded to my emails in a timely manner, and the vast majority of the time, I dealt directly with her. She never made me feel like my questions were silly or my concerns unfounded. She took the time to explain what was happening and what it meant for us, every step of the way. Makenzie is steadfast in her pursuit of justice. She is patient and prepared, calm and composed. She stayed steady every time I broke down. She is fierce in the courtroom, and the way she fights for her clients makes it evident she truly cares. I never wondered if our family mattered to her. I knew we weren't just a job, and I was confident she was giving us her very best the entire time. The legal field needs more like Makenzie Arnold. In addition to years of intensive therapy, Makenzie has played an instrumental role in my healing journey as an abuse survivor. She helped me feel brave and powerful at a time when I felt very afraid. I'm so thankful I trusted her to guide us to a favorable outcome. She will have my respect and gratitude forever for fighting to keep my child safe.

An Absolute Lifesaver Feb 12, 2025

Makenzie Arnold at Catterlin & Arnold Law Firm was an absolute lifesaver during one of the hardest times in my life. I was in an abusive relationship, scared, and unsure of how to move forward. From the very first consultation, she was different from the other lawyers I spoke with—she didn’t just listen, she *fought* for me. When I was too afraid to think clearly, she was my strength. My ex-husband tried to keep me off financial documents, but Makenzie wouldn’t let that slide. She made sure I got what was *fair*, not just what was easy. She also helped me stay on top of local law enforcement, who too often don’t take the time to truly protect women in these situations. Her dedication and persistence made all the difference. I would recommend Makenzie to *anyone* needing a fierce yet compassionate advocate. She has a heart of gold and the tenacity to match. If you're looking for an attorney who will truly stand up for you, look no further. 💛

Rebecca Is Amazing Jul 6, 2023

Rebecca is amazing!!! I will never be able to thank her enough for everything she has done and continues to do for me and my sweet little boy! She helped us quickly with emergency custody, a PO, and a divorce that included quite a bit. Rebecca fights hard but is also very empathetic and supportive! I have never once felt alone in this season of my life because of her! Rebecca is a blessing and I’m so thankful for her! She truly cares about her clients; I never felt like I was just another case to her. If you're reading this review and going through a divorce, child custody, or needing to be protected with a PO, reach out to her!

Nothing Short of Amazing Apr 21, 2022

This woman was nothing short of amazing. She understood the challenges of a father fighting for his children. She was detailed, prepared, compassionate, caring, and aggressive. She not only fought for me as a father but fought for my children. She guided me to focus on the long-term task and prevailed in every way possible. I would recommend her highly and ESPECIALLY for fathers fighting the toughest fight of their lives. I am forever in debt to her.

I got my boys back Mar 27, 2022

I want to stop today and take time to share my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the best lawyer who’s ever represented me: Makenzie Arnold! Unfortunately I’ve been sued by my ex-wife three different times for some very exaggerated allegations and stories of grandeur that kept my sweet children from spending time with their father, me. Those boys are my whole life, and I lost a lot of time and memories due to her awful allegations. Makenzie worked with me and for me every time I called. Arnold is a straight shooter and she’s the most genuine human. She fought hard for me and never once took anything at face value. She sought the truth objectively and allowed me ample time to share my story with her. She even helped mediate an unlawful protection order that kept me from sharing life with my children for months! The order was filled with lies and slander against myself, but Makenzie kept her cool. I was visibly upset, but she guided me through the process with tact and professionalism. After all was said and done, I got my boys back, and I cried for half an hour because I finally felt the burden lifted. My children are my world; they are the most sincere and sweetest boys you’ll ever meet. They were heartbroken and confused for months without their dad. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for what she did for my family. I highly recommend her to represent you if you are a devoted parent and truly care about the well-being of your children. She restores order and peace for us. Today we are driving back from a mini vacation in St. Louis where we laughed and played and ate and drank. Hit up the City Museum and more! I could not be creating these incredible memories with my two boys, Ethan and Julian, if it wasn’t for her believing in me… believing in the love and conviction of a good father. I’m beyond grateful. Thank you for everything, Makenzie.

Ben handled my case with white glove treatment. I was informed of my case and the process as it went forward. Ben represented me and my innocence, the case was dropped completely. I highly recommend Catterlin & Arnold law firm Lowell. Thank you, Ben!

Makenzie was absolutely on it Feb 17, 2026

Makenzie Arnold was absolutely on it from our very first call. Before I even paid a retainer, she jumped on a consultation call, reached out to the opposing attorney to gather more information, and came back to me with a clear picture of what she could do and what it would cost. That kind of initiative right out of the gate told me everything I needed to know. I hired her, and she and her team were incredibly efficient throughout the entire process. Everything produced was accurate, thorough, and strong. Makenzie is sharp, quick, and genuinely cares about her clients. I'd recommend her without hesitation.

I Felt Supported and Confident Sep 11, 2025

From the very first conversation I had with Carter, I felt supported and confident about my case. He immediately put me at ease with his professionalism and kindness, and I knew I was in capable hands. What stood out most was his responsiveness—every single time I reached out, he got back to me right away without delay. That level of attentiveness made me feel truly cared for throughout the entire process. Carter’s expertise, steady guidance, and dedication ultimately delivered the outcome we had hoped for, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney who is not only skilled, but also compassionate and dependable.

Excellent Service from My Lawyer Jul 1, 2025

(Translated by Google) I want to thank my lawyer, Jonathan Faught, for handling my case. He provided excellent service; if I could give 10 stars, I would.

Exceptional Representation and Communication May 10, 2024

I was recently represented by Mr. Jonathan Faught. I won’t disclose case details, but suffice it to say Mr. Faught credited me with exceptional representation and communication skills. All emails were answered within hours and not days like with a few attorneys, and he was very punctual arriving to court on my behalf. I really have nothing but great things to say about him and this law firm. Highly recommended!

Every dollar spent on him was well worth it. Jan 16, 2024

Speaking from my own personal experience! Ben was my attorney for my case. He and his team were responsive, polite, and professional through my entire case, which lasted 10 months. He really eased my mind about the situation and answered any questions that I had, even after my case ended. He’s also very humble, which is how your attorney should be with you! Every dollar spent on him was well worth it. Ben will be my attorney of choice should I ever need a lawyer in the future! :)
