Arends Law, P.C.

I had a great experience working with Joel. Something that could have easily been stressful ended up being simple and straightforward because of how prepared and organized he was. He asked all the right questions, guided us through every step, and had everything ready before we even arrived. It’s clear he genuinely cares about people and takes pride in his work. As a veteran himself, the care and respect he showed while helping a fellow veteran meant even more. His compassion, professionalism, and calm approach make him exceptionally well-suited to be an attorney. I truly appreciate the help and would confidently recommend him to anyone who needs legal guidance.

This guy is a joke most unprofessional attorney I've ever encountered once he received my retainer it was months before I heard anything from him constant reminders for him to call or text me just kept putting things off eventually I told him he was fired there are many more capable and professional attorneys out there don't get this guy he is horrible you just wants your money

Joel did an awsome job helping our family out with an adoption. He was very straight forward and answered all and any of our questions. My wife and I 10/10 would recommend him to anyone who is in need of this type of service.

I was thankful to have a group point me in his direction. I will forever be thankful for going with Joel. In my case there were many twists and turn I had no idea how to navigate and combat this in court and I was very happy to have him be my lawyer and would use him again! I have also let other people know of his services. He is also serving his country and I was happy to hear that as well. I have had many lawyers out of Sioux Falls and he is far better and the best lawyer out there!

He is truly a great attorney.

Nice parking lot

I couldn't have a better attorney. He's the best of the best thanks to him, I reunited with my children after a long challenging Journey, and I'm one happy dad. Thank you again Joel 100% highly recommended!

Joel has helped me through my divorce, custody, and the multiple times my ex and I went back to court and he had won every time. He is fierce, knows his trade very well, and does what's best for you. He has been the voice of reasoning for me throughout the years and I have referred numerous people to him who desperately needed the help like I did. He is an advocate for shared parenting and has helped change the way South Dakota courts look at fathers.

Very professional! If you need family (custody, estate, divorce) or real estate law practitioner, look no further

Quite possibly the most honest family law attorney in South Dakota. Will actually fight for what is in the best interest of the child.

Sat on the phone for nearly an hour helping me! Joel is a straight shooter. He told me what he could help with and what he could nit help with. He told me what I would be charged if I movrd forward. He gave me great advice and allowed the decision to be mine from there. I guess you could say he is an honest lawyer... found the Unicorn guys. All jokes aside, give him a shot and JUDGE for yourself!

Great Gentleman, really easy to approach. Very helpful. Helped out in solving a complicated situation and put things in to perspective in order of priority. Overall great person and lawyer. I would recommend Joel to anyone seeking legal advice!

Arends Law Firm has been my choice Firm for eight years, Joel and his staff always conduct themselves in the upmost fashion and work diligently until my problems are resolved.

Mr. Arends gave great legal advice and prepared me step by step in my case until mediation. Mr. Arends is well versed in family law and handling divorce cases. Thank you for representing me and meeting my legal needs.

Mr. Joel Arends is an awesome lawyer! We appreciate his professionalism and his counsel to obtain the appropriate outcome for our case. Thank you Mr. Arends. Kind regards from the Nelson family.

I was not a client but called to get information on my case and ,he was extremely rude and condescending ,when he spoke about my case he also lied under oath,not a guy you would wanna trust with your lively hood!!

Joel is an excellent attorney

My experience with Arends Law Firm has been great! Joel really cares about his clients. He does a great job of keeping you informed on the next step in your case. So far, I am definitely satisfied and so glad I went with this firm.
