Arica is the best. Choosing her to represent me in my divorce is one of the smartest decisions I have made. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive, friendly, and just easy to work with. You'll get the highest quality legal advice, but just as importantly, Arica will give you context and perspective to help you make good long-term decisions for you and your family. She was always guiding me toward seeing the bigger picture, thereby preventing me from making decisions that I might've regretted later. This kind of experience and insight was invaluable. I can't thank Arica enough

Firstly, Google needs to make more than a 5 star rating possible because if I could give Arica 10 stars, I would. I honestly couldn’t give a review long enough to describe how grateful I am to have had her as my attorney. It was such a pleasure working with her! She made a VERY difficult divorce journey a lot easier for me and my daughter, which I can’t ever thank her enough for. She is extremely knowledgeable in family law, very responsive, and extremely honest and helpful in whatever questions or concerns I had. Hands down, THE BEST!

Arica has worked with whole family over the past 9 years. I was surprisingly served with divorce papers in January. Being shocked I called my brother who said first thing to do is call Arica she'll know what to do. I have seen Arica in the courtroom setting as well. She is very professional and knowledgeable. I called Arica at the height of my anxiety and confusion. She is very kind and patient. She was able to explain and advise me what needed to be done with my pending divorce case. Which is now finalized. You honestly do not need to make another phone call. If you are looking for an attorney

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.

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 inbetween, 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.
