Philip L. Arnel

There are few things more terrifying than being accused of a crime you didn't commit. I am grateful to have had a strong defense lawyer like Phil on my side. He explained everything so that I could understand it, and thoroughly prepared me for the hearing. Phil was responsive and made me feel like my case was important to him. I am happy to report that we won my case. I would recommend Phil to anyone.

Working with Attorney Philip was an amazing experience. Before meeting Philip, I was in a panic to do an FBI CORI which required fingerprints for a job offer. I had called the lawyer who had worked on my case and tried to get him to Seal and Update my FBI CORI but his response was “there’s nothing we can do.” That is when I went online to do my research and that’s how I landed on attorney Philip’s website. I read through the testimonies on his website but I had to say, I was skeptical at first because not everything that’s on the internet is real. I followed my gut & called attorney Philip’s office. Philip was extremely knowledgeable about the FBI Sealing and Updating CORI process and he was able to answer all my questions. It felt great working with a lawyer that was confident in his work. Philip returns phone calls and emails promptly. Once I handed all the required documents he needed to work on my case, it took him 5 days to SEAL my FBI record. I highly recommend Philip!!

Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Phil to be your lawyer to represent you and your situation. I was able to quickly connect and talk to him about my specific difficult situation and without hesitation immediately started to work on my case. Throughout the process he was always available to talk and was very proactive in address the situation. He kept updated throughout the process. When it came to resolving the issue, he explained everything in detail and ultimately helped to mediate the case and resolve the issue to my complete satisfaction. He was able to communicate and keep me updated. Very professional and organized.

On September 27th, 2021 I received a summons to appear in court on October 8th, 2021 to defend myself against a 258E. Basically, I had sent some off-taste messages to an old worker who had essentially ghosted me. When I received the summons, I felt as if I had not harassed her, but was not sure how to defend myself. I also have a clean record, and did not want to risk having a restraining order on my record. That's when I contacted Phil. Phil responded within minutes, and had me gather all the needed documents so he could adequately defend me. Within a few days, he knew exactly how he was going to approach the case and he gave me confidence that we could win. The whole trial lasted about 10 minutes, and the judge even took a minute to acknowledge that Phil was very competent and knowledgeable about the law at hand. We won the case, and I definitely think Phil is the reason for that. I now still have a clean record, and have Phil to thank. Thanks Phil!

Phil was an excellent resource in getting my FBI record sealed. I called several other lawyers before I called Phil and they all said it was nearly impossible to seal an FBI record. Sure enough, Phil was able to get it done for me! I highly recommend Phil for any legal issue. He is knowledgable, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients.

Phil is a great attorney. He is knowledgeable, organized, punctual and I would recommend him as a lawyer!

After my first conversation with Attorney Philip L. Arnel regarding updating and sealing my CORI and FBI criminal records, I knew he was the right attorney to hire for the job because of his extensive experience in this particular area of law and his expert understanding of the entire process. Attorney Philip Arnel succeeded in updating and sealing my criminal records and was professional, direct, and honest from start to finish. I would highly recommend Attorney Philip Arnel to anyone looking to do this type of record work.

I had a wonderful experience working with Phil. I was introduced to Phil by a friend who also had a great experience working with him. I had a car accident and wanted to find the best person to represent me, and Phil fulfilled that role by working earnestly to get me what I deserved. Phil is hardworking, trustworthy, dependable, and a great communicator. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an expert at what they do.

I sought Phil's legal services to represent my son who like many young adults, acts without thinking that his actions may lead to serious consequences. Before going to court, Phil told my son the seriousness of his actions and the legal issues he was facing. And once in court, Phil represented my son extremely well due to his vast legal knowledge and experience.

Phil helped me out in a pinch, was able to immediately walk me through what I was dealing with and all the possible outcomes without overdoing it. Got me through it!
