Lawrence James Arnkoff

The FBI unexpectedly appeared at my door, which was very frightening. I had no idea why they were there or if I was in any trouble. However, it turned out that my name and one of my financial accounts had surfaced in an FBI investigation. Another attorney, who didn't practice federally, referred me t...o Larry. As soon as I contacted him, Larry took charge of the situation. He happened to know one of the agents and was able to buy me more time to respond. I never had to meet with the agents myself. I gave Larry the authority to handle everything, and after several months, he was able to negotiate a serious federal matter down to a warning instead of an arrest. Throughout the entire process, I never had any difficulty communicating with Larry. He is confident, knowledgeable, and obtained a great result for me. Moreover, his fee was very reasonable. I would highly recommend him to anyone with criminal problems, particularly federal ones.

My 16 year old step-son recently was charged in Rutherford County with very serious crimes. I knew that Larry handled mostly federal cases but I reached out to him for guidance because we have been friends for a long time. My wife and I were out of the country at the time so we were in a bit of panic.... Larry and his associate John Webb got right on it reaching out to the police and the district attorney to prevent the case from mushrooming into adult charges. Larry met with the family and gave us confidence he would find a positive resolution. He related well to my stepson, firmly impressing upon him the seriousness of the situation while encouraging him his life would not be denied by this mistake in judgment. Whenever we had questions Larry made himself available to answer them. As expected Larry and John negotiated a sweetheart deal where my stepson performs some community service hours in return for a dismissal of all the charges. Upon completion his record gets sealed and he can realize the bright future he deserves. As to the fees, they couldn’t have been more reasonable considering we had two experienced attorneys working for us. I would highly recommend Larry if you are looking for a first rate criminal defense lawyer.

Mr. Arnkoff represented me on serious federal cyber crime charges. This was the first time I ever faced anything like this and from the beginning I was extremely nervous about possibly being sentenced to prison. Mr. Arnkoff went above and beyond, making it a point to communicate with me often and eas...e any anxiety or doubt I had about my upcoming charges. He is extremely well respected by the judges and others in the system. His knowledge and confidence helped make the process very smooth and got me the best results I could have asked for, a probationary sentence. I now have high hopes for the future. I would highly recommend Mr. Arnkoff.

Excellent Federal Criminal Attorney: SH Larry was referred to me by an attorney who did not practice in federal court. At the time I was concerned that an ATF investigation might lead to criminal charges so I really needed an experienced federal criminal lawyer to help advise me. I ...had never been in trouble before so I was very concerned how things might turn out. For more than a year Larry helped guide me through the investigatory phase. He assured me that he could find a positive resolution despite the seriousness of the matter. He used a proactive approach to push towards that positive resolution. His experience and credibility with the U.S. Attorney’s Office allowed him to negotiate a settlement for me that resulted in a probationary sentence of one year. He always kept me advised of the status of the case and was generous with his time. When he told me something, it happened. He told me I could appear in court without being arrested. He told me I could remain on pre-trial release while the case was pending. He told me he could work out an agreed sentence recommendation to probation rather than prison. He made all that happen for me. Whether it was speaking to the Judge or the Assistant U.S. Attorney Larry was always prepared and confident. My case result could have gone in a lot of different directions with a less experienced attorney. Larry made sure that didn’t happen and I credit him for that. I would recommend him to anyone facing serious federal criminal charges.
