Phil is absolutely amazing. The whole process was done with precision and knowledge. I was explained what would happen and what was expected of me every step of the way. Phil is a straight shooter and not a force to be reckoned with. Phil is persistent and you will not be disappointed i promise. If you want anyone in your corner it's Phil.

I would reccomend Phil to anyone who needed representation, as my experience with him was great. The outcome was better than I even expected and that is thanks for Phil’s knowledge, communication and support! It was a painless process from the first date of contact. He is super responsive and gets things done

As the defendant in a civil restraining order case, I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome after hiring Attorney Philip Arnel to represent me. He was professional, and extremely thorough throughout the entire process. I’m truly grateful for Phil's support and would highly recommend him to those in need of legal assistance.

Working with Phil has been a great experience. He is very highly regarded and reputable. He did exactly what he said he would do and when said he would call me and the time he did exactly that. He is very detailed and explained every step clearly and asked if there were any questions. If there was a lag of time it was explained and he was very empathetic about my time and his. I liked working with him because early on you knew what you were getting with him and he delivers as promised. He was the best decision I made for my case. Definitely don’t think twice about selecting or calling him. He is worth every cent and then some!

Mr. Arnel helped me with a magistrate case that I had to deal with when I had an incident out of town in Boston, I was very fortunate to find him out of Sherlock, but I found him by reading reviews like the one. I am leaving right now. He is an amazing attorney and Helped me out tremendously. He was extremely knowledgeable in my situation and extremely reasonable on how much he charged me for my particular situation. I highly recommend using him for any civil or criminal proceedings that you may find yourself needing in the court system.

Phillip Arnell is old school in the best possible way. I'm not even a paying client yet, but I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with him and he was invaluable in providing information on the mechinations of the local courts and FBI background checks. I am prompted to write this review in part because I thoroughly appreciate his taking time, whilst in the middle of a visit with his family, to speak with me over the phone regarding a relatively minor issue. To be honest, my review stems more from the fact that he extended this courtesy to me, moreso than anything concerning law. Now, concerning law, you might consider him an "attorney's attorney". As someone who appreciates dedication to craft, I was genuinely impressed with his accomplishments. This review might sound over the top, but Arnell is over the top. I suspect watching him go to work in the courtroom would be a sight to behold. Legally beneficial, but also educational and entertaining. Check him before he retires!

I was referred to Attorney Philip Arnel by another attorney due to the specialized nature of my legal problem and needs. Despite being out of state in the middle of personal matters, Att. Arnel returned my message right away and stayed in daily contact with me via email, texts and direct phone calls throughout the case. I was on a tight deadline and Att. Arnel fixed my problem in just a few days. Att. Arnel worked throughout the weekend and a Monday holiday and provided the help and relief I needed in just a few days. He did everything he said he would do and he did it at an extremely expeditated pace. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal advice/help with no hesitation.

Given limited information about my ancient case, Mr. Arnel was able to do the research, identify a solution, and get the case dismissed. Great communication on resolution strategies and in-depth knowledge of the personalities involved assisted greatly in getting this resolved quickly. In addition, the innovative cost structure for fees helped align incentives away from purely billable hours and towards the best outcome as quickly as possible. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Arnel for any case in the future!
