100% Recommend Bill

I could not imagine a lawyer handling my DUI case better than Bill. I'm so grateful I chose him. He and his staff were always there to help when I called and they made what was otherwise one of the most stressful experiences in my life, relatively quick and easy. In the end, the outcome with the cour...t could not have been more favorable to me. 100% recommend Bill.

Your reading this because your in Real Trouble , look no further.

This is the lawyer you need and are hoping to find. First , these people are AWESOME, they are qualified, competent, caring and understand what you are going through. I was in trouble for Marijuana, something I need medically and can't discontinue, nor do I feel bad about having to use it to functi...on and keep up with my taxing lifestyle. William and Mary are great, easy to talk to and you don't need to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable explaining your Marijuana arrest with them. They truly care and are ready to help you ! Bill was a prosecutor here formally and knows both sides of the situation, who better to understand you and get you out of the mess your in? My case went very well and I could not imagine anyone doing a better job, they saved us. Professional all the way. Extremely generous and easy to work with. I am an under employed homeless man and they treated me with respect, proffessionalism and kindness. Most important they cleared up my problems completely. THANK YOU, Jeffrey Martin

Bill Arnau was excellent!

We hired Bill to help with a charge of marijuana possession of less than 20 grams. First of all, Bill took the worry away. He was calm, confident, and reassuring. Bill kept us advised on his progress in working with the Prosecuting Attorney. He answered any and all questions and explained his app...roach throughout the situation. Bill also answered emails, calls, and texts very promptly - even on weekends. Thanks to Bill's experience and hard work, the charges were dismissed. I would not hesitate to hire Bill again.

Simply the best

Mr. Arneau Is a professional in every aspect of the word. He not only can deliver results in the court room, but has excellent bedside manners. He is easy to talk to and spends as much time as you need to explain things to you. He took a difficult situation and mitigated it down to almost no conseque...nces. I'll never use anybody else but Bill.

The best Juvenile Attorney

Bill Arnau is amazing! If you have a juvenile that needs an attorney Bill is the best. Bill drove hundreds of miles to help my son. He worked diligently with the detectives and prosecuting attorney to get us an amazing outcome. He is always available and returns texts and calls quickly. He is patien...t and caring. His rates are very reasonable and his firm works out fair and easy payment plans. I can not say enough good things about Bill. We are fortunate to have him in our corner.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Bill initially when I was asked to mentor him as a fellow prosecutor with the Office of the State Attorney. I quickly discovered that Bill was a gifted attorney; bright, personable, and practical. During his time as a Prosecutor, Bill was a zealous advocate for justice, whether that meant arguing for a prison sentence for a multiple-offender, or defending a decision to a nolle prosse a case when justice demanded it. As a defense attorney, Bill is known as a zealous advocate for his clients, ensuring diligent, cost-effective, honest representation. Now, many years later, I am still proud to call BIll my friend and colleague. He is among the top tier of lawyers I will call when I need to know a referral will be handled with competence."

"I have had the opportunity to work with William Arnau at The State Attorney’s office and as a defense attorney. Bill has handled misdemeanors, felonies and traffic tickets as a defense attorney and prosecutor. Bill is an aggressive advocate for his clients with extensive trial experience. He has a reputation for being tough, honest and having an excellent work ethic. If you are accused of a crime or traffic offense Bill will give you an honest evaluation of your case and will get you the best possible outcome. Many other attorneys are tempted to tell clients what they want to hear to make a quick buck but Bill will always give you an honest evaluation of your case."

"Having worked with Bill as both a prosecutor and now a criminal defense attorney, I can state with confidence that he is a top notch lawyer. I consult with him regularly regarding many issues, but when it comes to criminal traffic and infractions, few are as quick to know the answers as he. His experience and preparation reward his clients with great results."

"I first met Bill when we worked together as prosecutors at the State Attorney's Office. I was quickly impressed with his work ethic, level of preparedness, his knowledge of the law and trial skills. Since leaving the State, he has worked in private practice handling traffic matters. I have had to call him for information/help on a number of occasions and he has continued to impress me. I would gladly refer anyone in need of this sort of representation to him."

"I first met Mr. Arnau when he was a Prosecutor in Daytona Beach. We had dozens of cases together and I always admired his knowledge of the law, his hard work, and his ability to do the right thing on each and every case. He subsequently left the State and began representing clients in criminal and traffic court. I routinely refer traffic cases to Bill and believe he is at the top of the list in our legal community in that practice area. He works hard for his clients and achieves great results. I have a ton of respect for Bill both as a lawyer and a person."
