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.

I am beyond blessed to have found Sei-Hee online. This has been the best couple thousand I’ve ever spent. A great investment in my future as well and totally worth it. She was thorough, and explained in detail the complexities of my case. Through her council and expertise, she was able to get all of my DUI/DWI charges dropped. She is worth every single penny and I would highly recommend her. If you are still searching, don’t second guess it. She’s the real deal. Highly professional and very responsive as well. Court is a very unpleasant experience but I was truly pleased with her commitment and the resolution to my case.

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.

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.

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

She gave me great help for my case. She knows how to get the best result. I just followed what she told me to do, and it comes out with the unexpectedly good result. I strongly recommend her.

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.

I was faced with a legal situation (DUI) this summer and immediately turned to Google. After many searches for the Montgomery County area, Sei-Hee’s name kept popping up. I called her and after our initial phone conversation, I knew that she was the lawyer I wanted to hire. She made the process smooth and made sure that I understood all of my responsibility on my end. It was important to me to know what all I could be doing towards my case as far as which classes to take and how to proceed with my 90 day driving suspension. When it came time for my court date, she eased my nerves talking me through the process and what to expect. When I met her in the courtroom that morning I was immediately eased with her knowledge of the proceedings. I personally had a favorable outcome that was not anticipated. Sei-Hee did a fantastic job in preparing me for all outcomes because you truly don’t know what to expect prior to the courtroom. Regardless of what outcome I would have received that day, Sei-Hee was by my side and made me understand everything. I highly recommend her based on her skill, knowledge, and personal skills.

Arii was very friendly and heplful. She looked into the case very keenly and provided mutiple options. She did a great and commendable job in my case.

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.
