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.

Got my case dismissed.

I was charged with a DUI in late 2014. I’ve never had any run-ins with the law before and didn’t know where to even start looking for a lawyer to handle my case. I talked to a number of DUI lawyers and ended up choosing Sei-Hee, a decision I’m so glad I made. I wanted Sei-Hee to represent me because she showed genuine interest in my case, whereas I felt like “just another routine DUI case” when I reached out to other lawyers and firms. Sei-Hee is a very understanding person, super responsive, and knows the MoCo court system well. She kept me informed throughout the process and was very helpful in accommodating my schedule and the fact I reside and work in NYC. Additionally, she did her due diligence to look beyond the just the surface of what happened to get the full story. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent DUI lawyer in MoCo.

Ms. Arii has been very helpful walking me through all legal processes/steps for an accident DWI. She made time to help go over all the notices and made suggestions for me to do in order to have the best result. In the end I was able to receive a PBJ with unsupervised probation. I was so thankful to have someone I could call and discuss everything with and would take the time to listen to my concerns. Also being much more affordable than some other attorneys that I shopped around for.

Ms. Arii is a great people person! She takes the time to listen to your concerns and has your best interest at heart. She kept me informed of any findings (police report, insufficient evidence, etc) and voiced all of my alternatives. She was great through the entire process and even saved me from court fees. I highly recommend her; she was awesome!

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!

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!)

Very positive experience from day 1. She is very clear, direct, and supportive. I felt like she provided me with great support with every step of my situation and always responsive when needed. 10/10 recommend!

Hiring C. Sei-Hee Arii as my DUI/DWI lawyer was one decision I do not regret. She used her extensive knowledge of the law and being very resourceful to get me out of a sticky situation and I genuinely feel like she was fighting for me in court. She has very competitive rates and in additional to handling the district court hearings she also coaches you on the MVA administrative hearing and she does all this in a way that makes you feel comfortable and not doubt hiring her. She got all my charges dropped at the end of the day and I am forever going to be thankful for her diligent work.

Sei-Hee is extremely competent and is willing to work with you. I had a DUI charge and she was very thorough about advising me about the different dynamics in court that may impact how I should plead (eg. how the judge typically rules in similar cases, presence of certain witnesses etc). Very responsive and empathetic as well! I’d definitely hire her again
