Ms. Arii is [very] skilled a knowledgable lawyer who worked a miracle in my case. I was facing a year in jail, but she was able to make the state prosecutor case look very weak, and was able to convince the judge there was no merit to her argument. When you talk to Ms. Arii you can tell she is on your side and will do all it takes to get you a favorable result. She is well worth the money spent and the peace of mind knowing your lawyer went all out for you.

It was the day before thanksgiving and I was on my way home from a friend’s high school reunion and I get pulled over and blow a 0.18, well above the legal limit. Shortly after being released I found Ms. Arii through some online researching. She was very understanding and helped ease my anxiety. Her pricing was also not astronomical as other firms were trying to charge me. Luckily I recorded my altercation on my phone and Ms. Arii did a thorough job in comparing my recording to what the police officer wrote on his report and developed a defense, even if it was a weak one. I felt she was doing everything she could for me to beat this. Long story short, I received the least severe charge, got a PBJ (this did not go on my record as having received a DUI) and 6 months probation.

Sei-Hee was referred to me by another lawyer and mutual friend and after my experience with her work I have referred her to several other potential clients. She is generous with her time, thorough and a creative problem solver. When it was clear that there was a possibility to settle our case out of court we proceeded to arbitration. When the arbitration was unsuccessful she taught us how to proceed to take over a large part of the work ourselves in order to save money and report back to her for advice on how to resolve the dispute in court until she was needed again at the end. I am in the process now of filling out the forms she sent me to update my mother’s will, create trusts and do end of life planning. Sei-Hee has a complete package of pre-visit information sheets that once filled out allow us to gather all the information in one place and help her give us the best advice possible.

Sei-Hee provided the best representation at the time when my son incurred repeated DUI violations. Not only was she a strong advocate for her client; she also was very [compassionate] and caring, a rare quality that allowed me to remain sane when hope was low. Because she was tenacious and persuasive she was able to influence my son to seek rehabilitation when he was not listening. In the courtroom, she was absolutely brilliant and had the knowledge and skill to get the charges [dismissed].

When I got my 1st DUI, I was worried. I did not know what to expect since I never got into the wrong side of the law. I knew I had to get a good lawyer to help me fight it in court. I decided to call Sei-Hee Arii and she gave me an appointment to go to her office. I saw down and she took notes while she was asking questions and explaining the whole process. This itself made me calmed and relaxed knowing she will do whatever it takes to fight on my behalf in court. She understood I was a student and gave me a great deal! To make a long story short, i did everything she asked me to do and she was able to convince the Judge to reduce my charges to DWI and best of all, my record was cleared! The money I spent was worth it. If [you’re] looking for the best DUI lawyer in Maryland then call Sei-Hee Arii. She is good [at] what she does and I guarantee you she will do whatever it takes for you to get a better trial. Thank you so much!

I had a dui conviction in another state 11 months ago. My hearing papers were mailed to my old address. My license was suspended. Ari was able to get my license reinstated until my hearing as well as get me a new hearing date. This saved my job. In the end I was given a restricted license. She is one of the best and will fight for you, and 95% of the time gets the most lenient disposition. She was worth every penny. I strongly would prefer as the lawyer to see and retain. Thanks again!

Ms. Arii was of great assistance to me in representing my case in court (successfully). She was professional and personable at all times, but also asked me the tough questions to ensure she had all the facts of the matter before advising me on a legal course of action.

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.

Was really clear about our case and the process and our options. On the day of our court trial we took her advice and was patient and waited and like she said it would all go it did thanks to her professionality and experience our case was dismissed. Would definitely recommend her to everyone.

I was lucky enough to have Sei-Hee by my side when it really mattered. Her analytical and interpersonal skills are above par and she’s more than willing to put in the time it takes to get your matter resolved. I highly recommend Sei-Hee.
