Highly recommended

Anthony was a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable about my tickets and charges and informed me of what I needed to do in order to right my wrongs. He was friendly and patient as well. His secretary Kathy was also very kind and timely with answering emails and questions. Hopefully I have ...no further legal issues but if I do I would use Anthony again in a heartbeat.

JN Review

My family and i recently hired Anthony Arbore for a very serious Criminal matter that one of my children was unfortunately involved in. I learned of Mr. Arbore's firm from a personal reference who had in the past had the same type of issues with one of his children and had hired Mr. Arbore for his so...ns defense. After an initial phone conference i was asked to provide any information i had to his office so he could review it before we actually sat down to discuss hiring him for the case. Once that was done we scheduled a meeting with Anthony at his office to meet in person and hear what he had to say. Anthony was very compassionate but also to the point. He laid out what the charges meant and the possible penalties attached to each one without sugar coating them (which i like). He then proceeded to explain to us an abbreviated plan of attack and what it would take to execute this plan should we hire him, which we did. Our particular case took approximately 9 months to get resolved and went very smoothly thanks to Anthony and his support team. Im very happy to say that our case came out with a very favorable result again thanks to Anthony's expertise. Above that Anthony never gave us any false hope but was always upbeat and supportive throughout the process which helped us cope with situation. I highly recommend Anthony Arbore and his firm for any of the legal services he provides. You will not only have gained a very accomplished counsel but also someone who you can actually call and have a conversation with as opposed to someone who never calls you back.. Thanks again Anthony! Cant wait to buy you that beer!! KN

My knucklehead son

I needed an attorney for my son who was arrested for possession of marijuana under 50 grams and drug paraphranalia, as well as receiving several MV summonses. These violations occurred several weeks apart in two different jurisdictions. Mr. Arbore was able to merge the violations into one court appea...rance as well as getting the summonses and paraphranalia violations dismissed. My son is "gladly" on a conditional, 1 yr. probation period whereas everything will be dismissed if he abides by the court's orders. Very pleased with Tony and do recommend him to anyone with similar charges.

Loss of Licsence

Having Anthony Arbore represent me was one of the best business and personal decisions I have made in my life. Sometimes people talk about a Dr. having bed side manners when they visit. On my visit and all consultations Anthony had a very calm and understanding, caring manner. He was direct, hones...t and laid all the facts right in front of me and knew exactly what he was talking about. My case was rather difficult and for him to conduct the research and prior case histories to combat my charges I would had suffered a great deal more in my situation. I am very confident that if I chose someone else to handle my case my overall situation would not have turned out as well as it did. Let's just say we pulled an elephant not a rabbit out of the hat. At the end of our last meeting I felt like I was saying thank you to a friend and not a professional business deal. He is a very caring person and intelligent lawyer who knows exactly what he can and can not provide under the laws of the state. I would recommend him to any family or friend that needed assistance in his expertise of the law. Can't say enough about my experience. Best! K

Posted by Kevin | March 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Best Attorney Ever! Highly Recommended!!

I had two concurrent DWI charges. The first DWI charge, the more serious one, also had associated charges of reckless driving, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice. The second DWI charge had associated charges of reckless driving and possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the motor ...vehicle. Mr. Arbore was able to get the second DWI conditional discharged with only a year probation. Regarding the first DWI charge, I plead guilt to the DWI but all other associated charges were also conditionally discharged. Because of Mr. Arbore's knowledge and expertise of the DWI laws, instead of losing my license for two years and having criminal charges on my record, I only lost my license for three months and ended up with a year probation on all other charges. I always felt that Mr. Arbore had my back. I could see from the court proceedings that he was highly regarded by the prosecutor and the judge. While checking in with the bailiff prior to my last appearance, he asked me who my attorney was. When I mentioned Mr. Arbore, he commented that I had the best attorney. Thank You Mr. Arbore! You are by far the best attorney ever!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Tony Arbore for 30 years. During that time I have worked with him in different capacities (defense attorney, municipal prosecutor, lecturer at legal seminars). I have the highest regard for Tony both as a person and as a professional. He is smart, principled, diligent and tenacious. He cares deeply about the outcome of each case. Tony has extensive experience in all areas of criminal and municipal court defense (including DWI, drug offenses, and other serious motor vehicle infractions). Although caring and compassionate, Tony is a straight shooter who will tell the client what he believes, not what the client wants to hear. Fellow lawyers call Tony to seek his opinion about various issues and he invariably picks up the phone to try to help. Tony is rightfully held in high esteem for his ability and character by the judges he appears before and the colleagues he practices with. He is, in short, the real thing."
