Phil is the best. He is knowledgeable and put my mind at ease. I highly recommend him. I was a nervous wreck and he made me feel more comfortable and he was very patient with me and my anxiety. I couldn’t recommend him more.

This lawyer was amazing to work with. He responded to my original inquiry quite quickly. He then kept in close contact with me during the whole process, carefully explaining each step to me. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions and concerns. He went above and beyond in helping me with my case. I was fortunate to find such a driven, trustworthy, and professional lawyer.

I had an charge on my FBI background check that was from 20 years ago when I was a juvenile that should not have been there. I asked a dozen local lawyers to get it removed, I had a range of responses from: "I have no idea how to help you" to "don't even try it can't be done." When I found Mr. Arnel online, I was extremely skeptical as I don't trust the internet at all. And despite being out of state, he was really great and got it done ahead of schedule. I was so mind blown that this is practically the only review I've ever written about anything.

I have been going through a divorce where my ex attempted to use a 209A as a tool for leverage in our custody proceedings. Attorney Arnel was extremely professional and walked me through the process. Even with the added complication of Covid-19 forcing the hearing to take place via conference call Attorney Arnel was able to show that the 209A was not legitimate and it was terminated. I couldn't be more pleased with the representation I received and will recommend him to everyone I know!

 
Automobile Accidents

Hired Attorney

I was in a car accident in 2019. It was my first car accident since I got my license. I had a concussion from the accident which was also my first concussion. Then the phone calls started coming in from the insurance companies. One after another and it was really becoming overwhelming to me at that time because of the concussion. From the moment I hired Attorney Phil the calls stopped. He handled the entire process with the insurance companies from the beginning through settlement. I know insurance companies try to take advantage of people and Phil didn't let that happen with me at all. Phil fights for his clients rights, this may sound odd but not all attorneys do that and they're supposed to. I would hire Phil again and would recommend him to my family and friends.

I had a great experience working with attorney Philip L. Arnel. He took my case seriously and fought to get me results. Philip is very methodical and professional lawyer who has a strong background in his matter. He was easy to work with given our busy schedules. Attorney Philip made the process very easy by being flexible with coordinating meeting times. Philip and I were able to communicate via text, email, and phone call. Attorney Philip Arnel built trust with me and I valued the advice given which solved the case. Overall, I would say that I was very happy with attorney Arnel's service provided and would be glad hiring him again.

I retained Attorney Philip L. Arnel to seal a court appearance the resulted in a non-conviction. Although there was not a conviction, I felt as a professional it was critically important to protect my privacy, reputation, for potential employer background checks. Phil has extensive knowledge in this area as well as criminal law. I am completely satisfied with Phil's expert advice with his responsive and excellent results. I highly recommend Phil.

Attorney Arnel is a life saver. I have an obnoxious neighbor who has been trying to make my life miserable ever since I reported that her son is a bully. She applied for a restraining order against me and based her application on nonsense and lies. I had two business days to find an attorney. I was fortunate to see Mr. Arnel’s name online and make my phone call to him. He is professional, genuine, reassuring, and above all, an expert in his line of work. He made himself available at short notice for my hearing. He prepared me in detail for how the court proceedings would take place. He took my phone call over the weekend when I was anxious and had many questions. He ripped my neighbor to shreds with his line of questioning when she took the stand. In short, this guy is the one to call when you are in need of an excellent lawyer.

Attorney Arnel is the only attorney I would recommend. I didn't give him much time to assist me with my case and with no hesitation, he uprooted what he was doing to get things done. When he met with me, the first thing I noticed was how professional he is. I couldn't have had a better experience at such a stressful time in my life. You can trust Phil Arnel to be honest and do his best to make sure you are informed of everything throughout the courts process. He's tough and thats exactly what I needed.
