I was facing jail time ,loss of my drivers license,a police record (that would have dogged me for the rest of my life), loss of my job/career, retirement and benefits and maybe even my home. You took care of everything! You are the greatest and I can’t thank you enough for all that you did for me. If by chance I ever get myself in another mess I promise you will be the first person I call.

I received a DUI and reached out to two DUI [attorneys]. Attorney #1 simply told me to take the ticket to the DMV, get your restrictive license and contact a breathalyzer company to get one installed, in your vehicle. So, by the time we get to court we will be ahead of the game. Then I reach out to Arii Law Firm (Sei-Hee Arii), She asked me about the event leading up to the DUI Tickets. She simply said “Don’t worry about it, I will do my best to win your case”, so I hired her. We went to DMV court and the outcome was a dismissal, no breathalyzer on the vehicle. For me, the scariest part of my ordeal was going to Upper Marlboro seeing the arresting officers in court. On that day, you could not have told me, an hour later, I would walked out the courtroom charges dismissed. Thank you, Arii Law Firm, for your high-quality defense in my case. To potential Clients of Arii Law Firm: If [you’re] pissed off about the ticket, go with Sei-Hee and avoid Attorney #1.

I hired Sei-Hee to handle two cases for me. One in Virginia and one in Maryland. Both times, I felt comfortable knowing that I’m dealing with an attorney with a strong background in criminal defense. Throughout the whole process she was clear, honest, and available to be reached anytime. She constantly followed up with me to make sure she had all the facts to represent my cases. This was the peace of mind knowing that I could rely on Sei-Hee. The end result was a favorable judgement. I would highly recommend Sei-Hee for anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.

C. Sei-Hee Arii is a highly dedicated attorney who is well respected in the DMV community. Representation by Sei-Hee meant prompt assistance and feedback telephonically and electronically, excellent knowledge about all laws in this area and a very tenacious effort to defend our case. She’s not all talk, this attorney takes action. She defended our son and made sure that he did not have suffer negative consequences and judgment as he moves forward in life. She challenged him to make good choices and shared several great words of wisdom. I have the [utmost] respect for Sei-Hee as a professional and a good person in general. She really helped us through a very difficult time and case. I would definitely recommend Sei-Hee!

She was very professional, very helpful, explained everything with detail, very patient and, responded within a reasonable amount of time. I was also very happen with the outcome of my case.

Sei-Hee was extremely helpful, meticulous, and effective. Moreover, her ability to sympathize and relate specifically to our situation was very much appreciated. Even in the initial consultation, she asked very thoughtful questions that no other lawyer thought to ask us, which is how we ended up choosing her as our lawyer.

Ms. Sei-Hee Arii was personable and took care to learn about my situation. She was helpful from the initial consultation all the way to the end of the case. She made me aware of the worst case scenarios as well as best case scenarios. She helped me to be prepared for my court date and let me know what I needed to do to achieve a favorable verdict. Fortunately, with a little patience we were able to score the most desirable outcome. Overall, she is well informed in the law and also with the court system (judges, prosecutors etc) in Maryland which proved be beneficial in my case. She was also helpful after the court date in making sure that I was able to follow through on getting certain charges stricken from my record. I would strongly recommend giving her a call!

Although anonymous, I am not ashamed to say that I am a high school student. I was arrested on New Year’s Day, with a .08 BAC. I was given 4 tickets due to my DUI situation. My life was spiraling downwards because of the stupid decision I made, and I continued to agonize over the burden I placed on myself and my whole family until I met Ms. Sei Hee. She was an outstanding lawyer, speaking to me and my mother, what to expect, what to do and what not to do. She gave us as much information as she could possibly provide regarding my case, and the potential consequences I may face in court. Because of her, we took proactive steps as my court date approached, and a week or so beforehand, she gave me a call, telling me that they decided to DISMISS my case!!! I was overjoyed at this news, being ever so grateful to her. Today, I live my life learning an important lesson early in my life, and I am VERY thankful to Ms. Sei Hee for not just helping me out with my situation, but also for guiding me and my parents, reassuring us that everything would be ok.

Ms. Sei-Hee Arii represented a friend of mine on a criminal matter several years ago. There was no doubt as to my friend’s guilt but she handled the case skillfully and with sensitivity and understanding. She kept us informed at each step of the legal process and what subsequent actions my friend would have to take to have his record expunged. We were very pleased with her thoroughness. The results of the trial were much better than my friend and I had hoped for and we were extremely pleased with her professionalism. In fact, I found myself regretting that I had not gone into law myself. We are all grateful for her help. She is a dedicated professional and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

When I was arrested for marijuana possession this past April in Washington, DC (on a weekend visit from out-of-state) I was worried about my future; I didn’t know what this could mean for my career or even my freedom because of Washington’s strict marijuana laws, but after hiring Ms. Arii my fears immediately subsided. She was very attentive and assured me that she would do all she could to make sure my case would be handled well. I was facing a max of 6 months in prison for my offense. I was very pleased with Ms. Arii’s work after she cut a deal with the prosecutor which not only had me avoiding jail time AND probation (I was only given community service, which I was able to serve in my home state), but I was also able to avoid attending my final court appearance since I was out-of-state. In all my dealings with Ms. Arii she was informative, organized, and cared about my case as if she were the one facing the prison sentence. On top of all that, her fee was very reasonable and much less than I initially feared my lawyer fees would cost.
