I've been really happy with Ben's work on my case. He is effective at devising a legal strategy, and explains legal matters in terms a layperson can understand. He returns calls and emails quickly. I would recommend him to … More friends and family without hesitation.

I hope you never need a lawyer, but if you do, you want Ben Aranda.Why do I say that?* He returned phone calls and emails (yes, really!).* He listened attentively until he knew what was important – and he efficiently culled the rest so … More I didn’t pay for wasted time.* He is brilliant – incredible with strategy, case law, and writing arguments if you ask me. Even when I was most frightened (and lawsuits ARE scary), he inspired confidence that I was in the best possible hands.* He’s direct, realistic, and meticulous – and he has a remarkable memory.* He kept me informed and focused throughout the process.* His prices are more than fair.* And oh-by-the-way: He’s a nice guy.Like I say, I hope you don’t ever need him, but if you do: Get first dibs.You don’t want him at the other team’s table.

Ben guided me throughout a process that should have been intensely difficult, but it never crossed that line thanks to his service. Legal processes can be intimidating, but Ben made me feel taken care of from the beginning and he proved … More that he had my best interest in mind. He showed the utmost respect for my situation and provided helpful information and feedback for the decisions I had to make. Ben went above and beyond to help me and I cannot thank him enough for this!

Ben is amazing!! He cleared up my issues in 3 court dates. Mr.Aranda went above and beyond to work with me when I was in a very bad position. Payment options were very reasonable and get this he even sent me a refund for the amount of my … More deposit he didn't use. Highly recommend Mr.Aranda one of the few that practice law b/c they love doing it!

My case was complicated and very unusual. Actually, I was afraid I would not be able to find anyone to take my case. I met with Ben and he accepted my case with confidence which was quite comforting. He took immediate action to have an … More unjustified withholding temporarily stopped. The final judgement was exactly what I had hoped for and I even had money returned to me by the state. Ben's billing was accurate and not exaggerated. I will recommend everyone I can to The Aranda Law Firm! It was much better in many ways than the highly advertised, local family law firm I previously retained!! Go Ben!!

Ben is one of the best attorneys I have ever met. He has handled a few different cases for me and each case he handled exceptionally well. He is friendly and down to earth with his clients but tough in the courtroom. He is easy to talk … More to and to communicate with (not once in the years he has been my attorney have I ever needed to speak with an assistant, paralegal or secretary) and he’s dedicated to his clients-even needy clients like me! One of the worst parts of moving my family to Chicago was knowing Ben would no longer be able to handle any legal problems I had! You can tell that it’s more than just a job for him, he truly cares about his clients and sees them as more than just another case.

My family used Ben for a step-parent adoption. I could not be happier with our choice in representation. Ben made it seamless to get things done, made every step easy to understand, and got everything completed in a timely manner, even … More during COVID. He was always there to answer any questions we had and was never annoyed with my follow ups. Our family will forever be grateful for Ben’s hard work and getting this done for our family.

I retained Ben’s legal services for my divorce after spending over $40,000 on legal fees on a previous attorney. I felt so taken advantage of by the law firm that charged me excessive amounts of money and got little to nothing accomplished … More in over a year and a half trying to get divorced. When I retained Aranda law, I immediately felt comfortable dealing with Ben and knew right away he was the man I needed to hire. He is the easiest guy to get a hold of and communicate with and is extremely knowledgeable about family law. I hired Ben for less than a quarter of what I spent on the other law firm and my divorce was finalized within 6 months and he got me the best deal possible. Most attorneys charge for every little thing they can charge for. Emails, phone calls, text messages, etc. Most attorneys spend more time typing up bills for every little minut detail that they can charge for rather than spending time to work on the case. I have found that Ben is very unorthodox when it comes to billing. He works hard and gets what he wants and charges very little for his superior services. I would recommend Aranda Law firm to anyone and everyone. I wish Ben the utmost success with his firm. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.

Ben is a life saver. I have used him on many occasions over the last 10 plus years from traffic violations to contractual issues. He is friendly, knowledgeable, genuine and does a great job. I would highly recommend him for your legal … More needs!

How We Practice

Ben Aranda, founding attorney for the Aranda Law Firm, began his career in the corporate environment of a big law firm. He quickly realized that the interests of ordinary people often go unrepresented. The Aranda Law Firm was founded to ensure that people of all walks have access to quality legal representation when the need arises.

Few family law matters have only one cause and one solution. When resolving any family law matter, it is important to consider all the possible options and outcomes. We are committed to providing comprehensive solutions and satisfaction for every client. We take a realistic approach to our client’s cases and ensure that our client’s needs are met every step of the way.

Through experience, knowledge, and effective communication, we can work together to maximize your rights in the legal system, maximize the time with your children, maximize your share of the financial resources accumulated during a marriage. By working together, we can maximize these rights while minimizing the stress and strain that these family law situations often bring.

So thankful

I am so thankful to my attorney Ben Aranda for handling my case and putting up with me during this emotional roller coaster ride. I am so grateful for your hard work and dedication to resolving issues that otherwise would have remained unresolved. Your knowledge, compassion, and advice has kept me sane through this whole process. I can honestly say, you have restored my faith not only in the legal system, but in people general. Once again, I can see all the goodness that surrounds me. It’s been a very long time. There are certain people we come across who can have little or a great impact on our lives. You have had such a tremendous positive impact on my life, and I will be forever grateful. I can’t imagine what our world would be if people such as yourself didn’t exist. Thank you Ben!

Ben was great.

My case required that he travel to southern Missouri multiple times and it drug out for over a year. Ben was flexible with me with respect to paying his fees as well rather than requiring all of the money up front in the form of a retainer. In the end, Ben met all of the goals I set as part of my initial consultation with him.

I would use him again

Ben Aranda is a good lawyer he takes time with you to make sure you understand what is going on about your case and answers your questions and concerns. His fees are reasonable and fair. I would use him again if needed.

I have recommended him to friends and family

I had not only a child custody case but owned a house with my ex, so estate issues. I was not married but might as well been. Ben helped keep me calm and understood things I would bend on and not bend on. He communicated everything quickly with me. I usually got responses to emails within 24 hours, and if it was something complicated he would call. He was assertive with the other lawyer, and did not allow her to push things off. I have recommended him to friends and family. Hopefully I will not need his services in the future but if I do, he will be my first call.

Chrissy

Great

Mr. Aranda has been great. He’s a very good lawyer and has been helping me every way that he can on my case. I plan on hiring him to help get my 11 yr old son back in my home as soon as we are done with the first case.

Dianna

Helpful

Mr. Aranda is really helpful he answered all my questions and then some.

Kimberly

More Than Helpful

Mr. Aranda was more than helpful in the 2 cases he represented me in. Both were (what I would consider) victories. He’s a young, hungry, determined lawyer willing to go the extra mile. I cannot thank him enough.

Andrew

Kept Me Calm and Collected

Excellent Attorney!

I have now used Ben Aranda for a divorce/child custody case and a adoption case. I have been tremendously pleased with his services. I have recommended him to friends that have used his services and they were extremely pleased with his services as well. I will continue to recommend him to anyone who is in need of an attorney.
