Attorney Sei-Her Arii has a 360 degree bird?s eye view of the legal system and the courtroom.I was facing very serious charges with almost certain jail time if convicted. I initially thought of defending myself but my family compelled me to seek council. I reached out to Attorney Arii the day before my 1st trial date (don?t be like me, make contact now) and requested her counsel. She was extremely understanding, honest about the situation and the possible outcomes but above all VERY RESPONSIVE! I immediately knew I was in good hands and could trust her. Best decision I?ve ever made! In court she laid out a multi-point strategy that accounted for every possible scenario the prosecutor or judge could present and sure enough it went as she planned. During court I witnessed someone with an almost identical case as mine (yet with a better driving record) be found guilty and sentenced to jail time, however Miss Arii got ALL of my charges DISMISSED! I went home a free man! I am extremely grateful! Miss Arii?s great reviews are one of the reasons I chose her as counsel and I?m proud to now add my own testimony of how effective, resourceful and dedicated she is as a lawyer. Thank you Attorney Arii!

Sei-Hee is a skilled, passionate lawyer who truly cares about her clients. Best in the business when it comes to traffic & DUI. She is straight-forward and will always fight for you. I had a tough case but Sei-Hee negotiated extremely well pre-trial and nearly all of my citations and charges were dismissed!

I am very grateful for the help I received from attorney Sei-Hee Arii. She guided me the entire way to make sure I was as prepared for all my court hearings. She made an especially nerve racking situation as comfortable as possible and did all the ?heavy lifting.? What really made Sei-Hee stand out amongst the other lawyers in the court room is how hard she fought for me to make sure I got the best possible outcome in my case. She went above and beyond for me and I am so thankful of that.

Ms Sei-Hee Arii is a powerful, caring and knowledgeable lawyer. On 01/01/2022 at 11:57pm, I had DUI/DWI and Negligent driving vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner which are three charges. I was confused, frustrated and thought my whole life had come to an end. I contacted several lawyers, they told me that it will be difficult to win the MVA hearing and that I should go and put in the ignition interlock device, which I will have to blow before the car will start and that will show that I have alcohol in my system. That device will have to be in my car for one year. And that they will handle the case in court. I went online again and I saw Ms Sei-Hee Arii profile / review and I called her, she listened to my case and told me that I should not worry, and that she is going to handle both the MVA hearing and the court case for me. She gave me hope when there was no hope. I had confidence in her based on her profile review and case records. So, on 14th-March-2022, we went for the MVA hearing, behold, Ms Sei-hee Arii Presented a wonderful defense and I won the MVA hearing. Today 06 -September-2022, we to court for the DUI,DWI and Reckless driving case and Ms Sei-Hee Ari did wonderfully well and all the charges were dropped. That is, I won my case. Ma'am, I am short of words, I am so proud of you. Please, if you have a DUI / DWI, I highly recommend Ms Sei-Hee Arii to handle and solve the case(s) for you.

I highly recommend Ms. Sei-Hee Arii. From the start, she calmed me down, and told me to focus on school and that everything would be okay. I trusted her and she fought for me. I was found not guilty on all 5 charges and am now walking away free from all charges. She also represented me in my MVA hearing and helped me avoid getting an interlock. She is literally a miracle worker! She did not give up on me and I couldn't be more grateful. She was also kind enough to fill out my expungement papers and it was an enormous weight off my shoulders knowing I would be free of this situation and have nothing on my record. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and more than capable of doing the impossible. Hire her now!

After being pulled over and charged with a DUI, Sei-Hee Arii was recommended to me by a friend who Sei-Hee had represented for a similar case. From our first conversation Sei-Hee was honest with what I was facing and laid out a clear path to follow in order to get the best possible result. Her proactive measures helped me face my mistake head on, and then make a plan to attack it. Once we got to the day of court Sei-Hee was more than prepared for everything that was thrown at us. She was very clear with what the worst case scenario could be and articulated her plan if we were to go to trial. The confidence gained from Sei-Hee's knowledge of the Maryland court system gave me the certainty to fight my case instead of accepting the reduced offer of the State's attorney. As a result, Sei-Hee successfully litigated my case and all charges I faced were subsequently dismissed. Sei-Hee then showed why she is above and beyond other defense attorney's by staying and filling out my expungement paperwork with me on the spot. She didn't have to do this, and it goes to show that she truly cares about her clients. I honestly cannot recommend her enough!

I had been arrested and charges with DUI, DWI and failure to remain at an accident; I contacted Sei-Hee Arri about my case and she agreed to represent me. Her professionalism, empathy and helpful advice were invaluable. Taking her advice and trusting her with my situation was very successful. She was able to get the DUI abd DWI nol pors and the accident charge reduced to negligent driving with 0 points and a minimul fine. I highly recommend her services to anyone dealing with DUI's and/or DWI's; she will fight for you and give sage advice due to her years of succesful experience.

I highly recommend in hiring Attorney Arii to represent you in your legal situation. I made a horrible mistake one night and decided to get behind the wheel after consuming A LOT of alcohol. I was stopped by the police and was facing three DUI charges. I also had an extremely high BAC level (2.5 times the legal limit) and I had different circumstances in my case that was not in my favor. I was very worried how my case was going to be handled and I consulted with 4 different attorneys and in the end, I chose atty Arii. Our first phone call, she told me the worst possible outcomes that can happen in my case (which is great to know the reality of all this) but she also told me different proactive measures I needed to take in order to successfully overcome this. She was supportive from the moment we spoke and truly does show care in her clients and to get the best possible outcome. My court date arrived and Attorney Arii was able to get all my DUI charges dropped and dismissed. She spoke with the State before my case was called and they had a proposal that she did not agree with and she used her expertise to have the judge rule in her favor and got my case dismissed. If that doesn?t show her dedication in wanting to fight for her clients then I don?t know what does!!! Right after my case was dismissed, atty began filling out the paperwork in order to expunge this matter and have it completely removed from my record. It was such a relief to know I was free from this situation and didn?t receive a conviction nor a probation before judgement ? all thanks to Attorney Sei-Hee Arii!! I will always be grateful for her professionalism, knowledge, and experience with the law.

Ms. Arii was professional, honest, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. Before the first consultation was over, I felt comfortable and confident that she would be able to get me a positive outcome, even though some of the details of my DUI case weren't so favorable for me. She was very realistic, yet put me at ease with her professional opinion on how she thought the case might go. She walked me through everything, helped me gain a true understanding of the law and how we could navigate it, and gave me some specific recommendations to prepare for my court date -- I could tell that she was very experienced with these cases. My court date was postponed over a year because of COVID, but she remained available for any questions or concerns throughout. At the end of the day, ALL the charges filed against me were dropped. It's a HUGE relief, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone fighting a DUI!

After I was being charged for DUI, I was the most scared person alive but after talking to a couple of lawyers I had recommendations to talk to Mrs. Arii. Upon consulting with her I felt an instant relief as she was compassionate and very detail oriented. She outlined everything and made it so clear to me and today I am proud to say she help me by getting my DUI and many other charges dismissed. She is just amazing. Always reaching out and so patient with her client. I will definitely recommend her to anyone out there in need of an attorney to represent then with Sei-Hee you are well represented.

I received a DUI and reached out to two DUI attorney's. 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 your pissed off about the ticket, go with Sei-Hee and avoid Attorney #1.

Getting a DUI was incredibly scary. I was clueless about what to do, or how to properly handle the situation. I talked to a couple of lawyers, but Sei-Hee stood out. She was friendly and explained everything thoroughly. I was frustrated and anxious dealing with this whole situation, but she did make it better. When my court date finally arrived, Sei-Hee managed to get my DUI case dropped down to a PBJ negligent driving case. She's amazing and if you're going through this situation, go to her! She'll work to get the best possible outcome for you. She did for me!!!

I had spoken with a handful of lawyers and am glad I went with Sei-Hee Arii! What stood out about her was her attention to detail. She asked me questions that none of the other lawyers did and THE DETAILS MATTER! I loved her aggressive approach to helping my case. Although I was anxious at first, she assured me throughout the way, was honest about things to expect, responsive to questions and really there wasn?t much I had to do but trust her. While I am not happy that I had to go though this, I am happy that I picked Sei-Hee to represent me. She was able to get my DUI charges dismissed and prevented the suspension of my license. I recommend!
