The Law Office of Arthur A Small II

I have been a paralegal my entire life and embarrassed to say that I found myself in a horrible civil litigation matter. I purchased a home in December 2012 only to find leaks, mold, and dry rot the day I moved in. Even though I hired a home inspector and obtained pest and roof inspections, they all failed me and the seller lied and didn’t disclose the massive mold and dry rot issues and standing water under the home. It was a nightmare and I had to move out of ¹⁄₃ of my home and seal it off due to hazardous contamination. The seller later filed bankruptcy. I first hired Michael Fluetsch in Lodi who essentially did nothing but bill us $ 10,000 in a 6 month period. I then went to Art Small in Stockton, who took my case on contingency. If it weren’t for him trusting in me and our case, I would have been screwed and lost everything. The case was complicated because of the bankruptcy, but Art fought on my behalf in both BK and civil court and ultimately I received far more than I ever would have expected. I won’t be rich but can now finally make all repairs and then some. Art went above and beyond and put up with my constant questioning. I now consider him a personal friend. He is hard working, honest, and fair… something hard to find these days especially in an attorney. I’ve worked with many, but Art is as good as they come. He really knows his stuff, especially in debt collection and litigation, and how to play the game. Fluetsch basically told me I had no case but took my money anyway. Art worked his ass off for 2.5 years because he believed I was wronged and that meant everything. Fortunately, it finally paid off for both of us. I highly, highly recommend him!
