Philip Arnel is someone you want in your corner. He worked hard to get my criminal issue resolved. Even though my issue was relatively small I felt like I was his only client. More importantly he knew the key people to reach out to get my issue resolved. It was great having him there at my probable cause hearing and he helped guide me through the process. Philip Arnel's services are worth every penny.

I highly recommend hiring Phil Arnel as your attorney. My mother was summoned for a Magistrate Hearing following a bad car accident of which she was at fault. I sent a note to Phil through his website and he happened to be on vacation overseas but he called me back that same day to provide advice about her situation. He was extremely helpful right from the start and I knew that having him represent her would be really beneficial to her. On the day of the hearing, Phil defended my mother and was successful in keeping the criminal complaint from going to the next level. He had to negotiate on the spot since the complainant wanted the complaint to be issued. It was intense. They say that you don't need a lawyer for a Magistrate hearing but we truly believe that the outcome for my mother would have been very different if we didn't hire Phil. We are so thankful for his services!

Phil helped guide us through the intimidating experience of being in court with confidence, compassion and decades of legal knowledge. He was always available to talk and he communicated continually with us throughout the case. Phil is exceptional. I would recommend him 100%!

My daughter required legal representation for both civil and criminal matters based on false allegations. Attorney Philip Arnel provided exactly what we needed. He helped to put us at ease throughout the long and agonizing processes. He took pains to wade through lots and lots of evidence. He was available for consultation and he strategically laid out my daughter’s case. He demonstrated a breadth of understanding and experience with the legal system and this type of case. We are forever grateful for his assistance in achieving her vindication.

I was served with baseless Restraining Order and retained Phil. He was very professional; direct, clear, concise, and generous with his time, and was a much needed competent and strong ally in my corner to help ease my anxiety. Phil quicky identified in stream-line fashion what was required to successfully defend against this bogus 209A action. Phil is a physically fit, confident, intelligent, well-dressed, well-prepared, and experienced lawyer who gave me the confidence to fight back and prevail. He knows what to say and when to say it. We were victorious in a landslide and my accuser was at a loss for words. None of this would have happened without Phil’s expertise and counsel. He gave me the strength, knowledge, and peace of mind that only an experienced and tough lawyer could have done. I bless the day that Phil Arnel came into my life to right the injustice that was leveled on me. He gave me back my life and restored my calm. Thank you very much Phil Arnel for your dedic

Attorney Arnel is a BADASS in court. I have never met anyone as confident and as well versed as Mr. Arnel. He truly is fantastic at what he does. After one of our hearings, someone stopped me in the parking lot to ask for my attorney's name because he thought he was amazing in court. I proudly gave him Attorney Arnel's contact information. I highly recommend Mr. Arnel. If you need an attorney that listens, understands, and is willing to go above and beyond, Attorney Arnel is the badass lawyer you want.

Attorney Arnel was a HUGE help in helping me get my past records sealed. He is very thorough and makes sure the FBI has done its part. I can’t say enough of how much he was compassionate and communicative throughout the whole process. He really does care about getting his clients the representation they deserve…Thanks again Phil!!!!
