C. Sei-Hee Arii took a chance taking my case the weekend before my court date. Not only did she treat my case like she had months to prepare, she was also very graceful as she spoke with the states attorney. She courteously explained everything that was happening very promptly so I was completely sure of any decisions I would have to make. All in all I was more than please with the great care Ms. Arii took of me and my case. I would recommend her 11 out of 10 times!

I was charged with a DUI and several related offenses, after speaking with C.Sei-Hee Arii–I knew within 20 seconds she was the best of the best. She is with you every single step of the way from paperwork to trial. I was 25 and had no idea what the legal system was like, Ms. Arii explained what to do, where to go, and how to best address your case. She explained to me my options and everything worked out just as she promised.

Facing a judge after blowing a .019 and reckless driving isn’t the easiest, but with Sei-Hee Arii by my side I was confident. She fought to get me the best outcome possible, which for me was a PBJ, 8 hrs of community service & to attend a [MADD] class. This was my first offense, but the courtroom did not want to take it easy on me by any means. Sei-Hee did everything in her power to help me with this case, including offering to go to trial if that’s what needed to be done. She definitely knows what she’s doing & she stood out in the courtroom compared to the other attorneys when it came to being [knowledgeable] about the law.

I could not have picked a better attorney! In addition to being very professional, responsive, and super-smart!, Ms. Arii also was very compassionate, supportive, and very easy to talk to. This was my first experience working with an attorney, and Sei-Hee has such a pleasant manner, I felt very comfortable talking with her about my case, and had absolute confidence that she would represent me well (and she did!)

Ms. Arii very knowledgeable in my case. Ms. Arii help me through the court process and got me at ease with the court procedures.

First time DUI in Maryland, had no idea what to expect. I called Sei-Hee the next morning and she was immediately kind, understanding, and knowledgeable about the entire process – something I really needed after the traumatic arrest night. I was charged [redacted] for representation in the criminal case. I’m not sure how this compares to other lawyers as she’s the first one I’ve used. There’s payment plans if needed. The MVA case is separate and she prepares you well for you to do it on your own – it’s fairly straightforward and I had no issues getting a restricted license. There’s an extra charge for her to be there during the MVA case if you feel you need it. I was well over the legal limit, but Sei-Hee negotiated my DUI down to a DWI. I also got a PBJ by following her instructions on what to do before court. It was also clear she was the most knowledgeable/experienced attorney in the court room. I would definitely recommend her to my friends/family or, god forbid, hire her again for myself if needed.

I was charged a DUI/DWI on a first offense and it has been one of the most nerve wrecking event in my life. I soon went online to find an attorney where I found Arii Law Firm. I reached out during off office hours and left a message, she called me back very shortly and gave me some advice and pointers as for my next steps to face the charges. That made me feel calm, more than I had in days. Whenever I had doubts or questions, she was always available and always had the answers I needed. On the court date, she told me what she thought we should do, who we were facing and told me what could be the possible outcomes. I gave her my full confidence and received a very positive outcome. More than I was really expecting. I was really happy with her service, the way she studied the case and was ready for court. In one of the counseling I did before the court date, they told me I made a great choice with Arii Law Firm and I would say the same to anyone who chooses her. I recommend her 100% to anyone facing a similar situation.

In a nightmare situation, Sei-Hee helped me not only legally but also psychologically; I’d contacted other lawyers before finding her, and I can honestly say she was the only one that seemed to actually pay attention to my personal, specific situation, offering advice that suited my exact situation – very much unlike the other lawyers I’d contacted (it’s worth mentioning that my initial consultation over the phone was with Sei-Hee herself, not an assistant that couldn’t care less like the others I’d contacted). Sei-Hee was professional, made communication extremely easy, and took time to address a related issue/question that popped up. In such a stressful time, she really did put my mind at ease while being straightforward and honest. The outcome at court was best case scenario – a result due to her ability to present my case (and me as a decent citizen) convincingly. I highly recommend Sei-Hee Arii as a knowledgeable, dependable, and successful attorney.

Ms. Sei-Hee Arii recently represented me for a DUI case in which I was very pleased with the outcome. During consultation she was very honest with me about my possible consequences, from worst to best, with it being my 2nd alcohol related offense. She advised me on programs to attend before my court date that could lead to a more favorable sentencing in front of the judge. She represented me professionally and positively in the court room and was able to get me a very favorable outcome in comparison to the possible consequences. She did not stop there as she also helped to reduce the traffic citations that came with the DUI when she did not have to. Not only that, but was very reasonable and understanding as far as making payments for her hiring. It was clear that Ms. Arii wants the best for her clients. I highly recommend her as an attorney and thankful for her representation.

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.
