Impressive Attorney

Mr. Arena is an outstanding attorney, he is worth every penny. He has represented multiple family members with different scenarios and has impressed us every time.

Satisfied Client

I have retained Anthony on 2 occasions, each time I was met with compassion and given the confidence I needed to get me through it. Anthony took my calls anytime I needed him, always took the time to answer all of my questions and is great at thinking outside the box. I would highly recommend Antho...ny if you are faced with any sort of criminal charge, he's wonderful.

great job

Mr. Arena listened to my concerns, dealt with the health providers and insurance company taking a great deal of stress off of me so I could concentrate on healing. There is no amount of money that equates to the injury & healing, he settled my case for the most I could receive from the insurance carr...ier & got many medical bills reduced. Very please with his professionalism and explanation of the entire process at each step of the way.

Posted by anonymous | December 13, 2013 | DUI & DWI

Very reasonable charges! Even kept me from a suspended license by informing me of a administrative hearing w/ the state.

Anthony helped w/ a DUI and expired tags charge. He had it downgraded and one of the charges dismissed. He knew the prosecutor and arresting officer well. He is great at what he does!

"Anthony is one of the most personable and engaging people I know in the local Tampa Bar. I have referred my clients to him who have a need for personal injury representation, knowing not only will he give them honest and exemplary representation, and get the best result for them possible, but that my clients will personally like and trust him, which I believe is essential to an effective attorney-client relationship. Anthony is my "go-to" guy for any issue having to do with personal injury cases."

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 04

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Arena is the best criminal defense attorney I have had the pleasure of working with. At one time I was a prosecutor and I dreaded going to trial against him due to his extraordinary trial talents and knowledge of the law. I now work in the private sector and I observe how diligently he works to zealously represent his clients and how reasonable his fees are. He's extremely ethical, honest and that reputation is well perceived in the legal community and works to his clients' advantage. I highly recommend Mr. Arena not only for criminal defense cases, but personal injury cases as well."
