What Clients Are Saying


Blair Swearingen
I highly recommend Tom. He is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely cares about his clients. From the very beginning, I felt that he had my best interests in mind and took the time to thoroughly answer my questions and explain my options. He provided a free consultation and shared a wealth of valuable information without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. His professionalism, honesty, and compassion gave me confidence during a stressful situation. If I ever need an employment attorney again, I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Highly recommend!
Amy Wessman
I had a very positive experience utilizing the services of Arckey and Steele. I have minimal experience working with attorneys and as a result, I did not know what to expect. Mr. Arckey was very pleasant to work with and he fit me into his schedule right away. With his help, the small issue that I needed help with was resolved quickly, efficiently and effectively. I highly recommend working with Arckey & Steele for any injury or civil rights issue.
Amanda Wyman
Eric is a phenomenal attorney and really cares about his clients!

Tom Warda
I worked with Tom on a dispute involving a belligerent shareholder in my company. I found Tom to be very methodical, disciplined and assertive in dealing with this matter. I highly recommend Tom and his staff for all your litigation needs. I look forward to working with Tom in the future.
Angela D
I had a great experience working with Eric after I was rear-ended in a car accident that was completely the other driver's fault. Eric was professional, honest, and focused on getting a fair outcome—not on playing games or pushing unnecessary treatments. He helped me navigate the process and made sure I got what I deserved. I really appreciated how straightforward and respectful he was throughout. Highly recommend.
