Job well done

I have dealt with a couple lawyers in the past which have left a bad taste in my mouth. Bill met all my expectations and more. Bill kept in contact with me from start to finish. I felt very comfortable with Bill and Built a relationship/friendship with him. I highly recommend Bill and would use him i...n the future. Good job Bill and thank you for everything that you did for me.

Excellent Lawyer

I contacted Bill initially to consult with DUI case in St Augustine. After speaking with him initially I knew that Bill had great intentions and was the type of lawyer I wanted to be represented by. Bill was super attentive and responded to all my questions , emails , texts, and calls really quickly.... He kept me informed throughout the whole process and the results speak for themselves. If I had to go back and do it all over again , I would choose Bill to represent me without hesitation. Hes an excellent lawyer and knowledgeable in his field. My case was resolved faster than I ever expected and rest assured he will get the job done.

Went above and beyond!

Bill went above and beyond for me. He was responsive and quick to follow through. I've found Bill to be a man of his word and will recommend him to colleagues and family should the need arise. Thanks Bill!

Smart hardworking attorney who was able to get my matter resolved in a timely manner

I am a attorney from Tallahassee who was in need of a good attorney in the Jacksonville / St Johns County area and was fortunate enough to find Bill Arnau. My online research showed that Bill had previously worked for the State attorneys office, and had excellent reviews. Bill always answered my ...calls and listened and addressed my concerns and anxiousness. I would call Bill in a panic about my situation and Bill was always there to listen and provide both legal and emotional counsel. I always felt so much better after getting off the phone with Bill. Bill Arnau is not only a smart hardworking attorney who was able to get my matter resolved in a timely manner, he is a wonderful person who is both compassionate and kind.

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.

"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."
