        Overall Attorney Sei-Hee was a great attorney for my case she gave me a full run down of what to expect potential options that could happen, but most importantly she provided a sense of trust in her that made me feel confident that I made the right decision on having her as a representative.

        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 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. Arii is an incredible lawyer – she is smart and helped guide me through a DUI charge. I knew from our first conversation that I would be hiring her. She is readily available and answered all my questions, even giving me the worst case scenarios (upon my request). Her tenacity is admirable. I cannot recommend Mrs. Arii enough.

        I really cant find the right words to express my gratitude to this formidable woman, for her conducts and professionalism and how through her expertise ,the very serious charges leveled against me were dismissed.She’s a maverick.She’s the best at what she does. I ATTEST THAT YOU ARE IN THE SAFEST HANDS WITH Ms SEi-HEE.
