Reviews (page 3)

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.

Very knowledgeable, professional and an attorney who fights to the end for you and your well being Highly recommend her for any services that you would need legally

This was my first time in any kind of situation involving me going to court. Sei-Hee was able to put me at ease about the whole thing. She is knowledge, aggressive, timely, and responsive. I really appreciate hard work and dedication. She was able to get my case dismiss and I’m extremely grateful. I would recommend her to anyone.

Sei-Hee was a tremendous attorney throughout my entire process. I was charged with a DWI and and DUI in Rockville, MD. From our first meeting, Sei-Hee was a careful and strategic attorney. She provided me with exceptional counsel that allowed me to prepare myself not only for the trial, but also the MVA hearing. As a result of her expert counsel, I was able to win my MVA case and prove to the judge that I indeed made a legitimate attempt to provide my blood alcohol content. Her expertise also allowed me to obtain 6 months of unsupervised probation before judgment. As a result of a continuance which was granted to the prosecutor due to the police officer not being available for the first trial, this journey for me lasted 10 months. Throughout this long process, Sei-Hee was phenomenal in keeping me calm and on track. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an honest and skilled lawyer. You can’t get much better than her.

My case was complicated involving out of state license. She worked with me in very polite and responsive manner, listened to what were my concerns with my case and came to a conclusion together. Every penny I spent was worth it

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!

I enlisted the services of Ms. Arii when I got slapped with 7 tickets – 1 being a DUI. Ms. Arii was very responsive and helpful during the whole process. When it came to my court date, she successfully convinced the prosecutor to strike a plea bargain. My 7 tickets were dismissed and I ended up with a PBJ for reckless driving. I am in the process of expunging that from my records. I am very pleased with the outcome and am thankful to Ms. Arii for helping me move on from this.

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.

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.

Sei-Hee was very effective at putting our minds at ease. She told me to stop worrying and let her handle my wife’s case. She was responsive and quickly resolved an issue when my wife’s license was inadvertently suspended. She is the consummate professional. She showed that she cared not only professionally but, she cared about my wife as a person who made a mistake. Hiring her was the best decision we could’ve made.
