Review Jay Arnesen

Excellent Attorney

Posted by

I hired Jay Arnesen in a great time of need because my insurance company denied our insurance claim. We really needed the money to fix our house but the insurance company refused to help us even though we've been paying insurance premiums for years. Jay was very understanding and sympathetic to our position. He worked tirelessly to help us. After months of litigation, Jay was able to recover the money we needed to repair our home and get our lives back together. I don't know where we would be without his help. Simply a great attorney.

Jay Arnesen's response: Thank you for your kind words and support. Insurance cases are tough and I'm very happy that things worked out well for you!! All the best.

Ethicial and an industry leader in getting things done

From Day one Jay communicated extremely well regarding the process of getting insurance companies to pay legitimate claims. The process took longer than I wanted however Jay and Jay's team always picked up the phone and helped me get over my anxiety. He lived up to my expectations exactly as contracted and I now consider him a friend. One final comment- after discussing the adventure that connected me with Jay's firm I've discovered that I was paid in a shorter amount of time then other people in my situation by sometimes greater than 30 days. Thanks Jay,

BEYOND MY HIGHEST EXPECTATIONS!!!!!!

Posted by

Jay's experience as a former police office and public defender, coupled with his educational background and courtroom experience were the combination that won the day in my case. In addition to those skills, Jay always returned my calls and answered all of my questions no matter how many times I asked him the same thing. My gratitude to Jay Arnesen for his hard work can't be explained in words. I was given another chance to make good.

A lawyer you can trust!

Posted by

Jay was open and honest from the moment we spoke. He informed me what to expect when in court. Once in court, he commanded the room and got the results he expected.

Simply a Great Attorney

Posted by

Jay represented me for a DUI and I can't say enough good things about him. Every other attorney I met with told me how hard the case was and how I would be lucky to stay out of jail. It wasn't my first arrest but the others were a long time ago. Now I am married and have children who rely on me for everything. Jay was different because he explained how he would attack the case without giving me false hope. I knew he would give it his best effort. His experience as a police officer really showed as he worked the case and he followed through with everything he said he would. The result of his hard work ended with a great outcome. I'm glad I met him.

Driven, Focussed, Excellent DUI Attorney

Jay is a great attorney and he helped me through the most difficult time in my life. I was charged with DUI and was facing jail time and the loss of my license. I didn't know where to turn but somehow found Jay. Just talking with him gave me comfort because I knew he would be the best man for the job. He's a former cop and knows police procedure better than anyone else I talked to. Once my case got underway, I spoke to him often and always knew what was coming next. The decisions I had to make in my case were never easy but I was always well informed. In the end, Jay's knowledge of DUI saved me from having a criminal conviction on my record. I am indebted to him for what he did for me and recommend him to anyone who is in need of help.

Hard fighting No Nonsense Defense Attorney

Posted by

Hiring Jay to defend me was the best decision I could have ever made. He was easy to talk with and comforted me during a very difficult situation. He is extremely knowledgeable in the law and confident in his abilities to help me. I trusted him and he delivered. Being that he was a former cop, he knew more about street arrests than anyone else I spoke with. If you are arrested and facing jail time, I strongly recommend you speak with Jay before hiring someone else.

Great DUI Attorney

Posted by

Jay was relentless in defending my DUI case. I was scared I would go to jail, lose my license and have a criminal record. Hiring Jay was the best decision I could have made. It was clear from the beginning that he had the knowledge and skills necessary to bring me safely through this ordeal. He was always accessible, encouraged me to participate in my case and made sure I was well-informed as to what was going on. My case turned out much better than I expected and I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a DUI attorney.
