I had DUI & DWI charges against me, but I was innocent. Sei-Hee is someone who always believed in my innocence. She spent as much time as I wanted, answering all my questions, explaining her exact defense strategy, and coaching me for trial. Additionally, she spent hours studying my case, honing her strategy, and attempting to convince the prosecutors that I was in fact really innocent. In the end, Sei-Hee was able to spin her magic and got the prosecution to essentially drop all charges. I would highly recommend Sei-Hee because she will a) believe in you b) be dedicated to getting you the best outcome c) be extremely patient and d) apply her magnificent knowledge and talent to the case.

I contacted Sei Hee Arii regarding my first DUI do to the review I read here, and I’m glad I did. I was nervous because my BAC was 0.15 which is right at the threshold of a more serious charge. She was able to help talk me through the process of what I needed to do as soon as possible, and attend the appropriate classes. This helped reduce my sentence from supervised PBJ to unsupervised PBJ. She was also able to talk to the counseling center and reduce the time I needed to be there (typically 26 weeks). I would definitely hire her again.

Due to my own procrastination, I reached out to C. Sie-Hee Arii on a wednesday when my court appearance was that monday. I was arrested for a dui (.15 bac) and about 7 consequent charges which added up to almost $2k in fines. Immediately I felt as if I was putting my case into the proper hands. After going through my original arrest paperwork she found mistakes made by the officer which would help our case. Ultimately all charges we dropped and are going to be expunged. This is better than best case scenario in my opinion and I feel extremely lucky/blessed to find a great attorney at a affordable rate.

Sei-Hee is an amazing lawyer that helped me get through a very difficult situation (2nd DUI offense). She provided expert advice and gave me the tools I needed to help mitigate my legal situation. I would definitely recommend hiring her!!

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.

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.

I chose Sei-Hee after reading all these positive reviews and they were right! I thought my case was hopeless after a relatively good performance on the field sobriety tests but over a 0.08 BAC on the breathalyzer. I had zero experience with the law or how to choose a lawyer but after reading every single review for her and multiple other lawyers, it seemed like she would give me the best chance. More importantly, she was the only lawyer I met with who read my all papers in depth and gave me real advice about my individual case. I still remember her saying “I feel good about this case” and describing a similar case that she won, which gave me hope from my first meeting with her instead of the vague “we’ll see what we can do when we get more details” approach like every other lawyer. I went through 6 months of hell until my trial, thinking my life and career were over because I would get a PBJ no matter what since I agreed to the breathalyzer. However, we got a good judge and she was able to get a NOT GUILTY verdict for me for all DWI/DUI charges and helped me get them expunged immediately afterward!! I ended up only paying for the traffic ticket. I was truly shocked and overjoyed by this outcome. Getting arrested for a DUI a horrific situation to be in and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but if you are reading this just choose her!

Hiring Sei-Hee could be the difference between your case getting dismissed or not. That was my experience. In my DUI case I mentioned early on that the officer was using dash cam and asked that we recover the footage. Sei-Hee requested the footage and when my court date came, we hadn’t received anything. She made sure that the judge set a deadline for when the prosecution had to present that information and then filed immediately for the case to be dismissed the very next day after the footage wasn’t delivered. On my next court date, the (different) judge dismissed my case in it’s entirely. If I would have had an attorney who didn’t make a point to get the other side to commit to a date or didn’t follow up immediately to file the paperwork when it didn’t arrive, I would probably have had a different outcome. Sei-Hee knows what she’s doing and will do what it takes to win the case. Follow her instructions exactly and you’re in good hands.

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.

Not only she kept me out of jail but her advice during and after my case helps me to put my life back on track. Her deep professionalism and skill is so amazing. The way she [prepared] me for my case with a constant follow up and consultation was wonderful and final presentation during my court date was [unbelievably awesome]. Thank you C.Sei-Hee 0
