Domestic Violence Probation Violation

Anthony A. Arzili is a very effective and affordable lawyer. I spent over a decade dodging a warrant for a domestic violence probation violation out of Los Angeles County. Half way through the program I stopped going to classes and failed to pay the fine and did not meet my 240 hours of community ser...vice. I left the state and started life over again. I knew I would be facing a long jail sentence if I was caught. Many years later I began to research LA lawyers. I am sure I called every reputable one in the county. I also spent hours reading reviews on every web site possible and narrowed it down to 3. Anthony was the only one to respond to every one of my emails (and there were many), he responded to my phone calls himself (most of the firms I talked to the lawyer once and then they assigned a paralegal to do the rest), he was also keen to help me develop a biography of my life after this charge and to highlight my achievements to the judge. When it was all said and done he was able to recall my warrant, convince the judge to reinstate the terms of probation. I did not have to come back to California to appear in court and most of all I did not spend one night in jail! I would recommend you do your research before choosing a lawyer then I would recommend Anthony A. Arzili for your criminal case. Best of luck, Mike

Handled My Case Extremely well!

First of I live in North Carolina but I had a domestic violence case and a DUI from years ago that I left unattended which resulted in two warrants for my arrest. Mr. Arzili was able to help me a tremendous amount by clearing out both charges and removing my warrants without me even having to leave N...orth Carolina! I know ever case is different but I can ensure Mr. Arzili is a great lawyer that will tell you your options upfront and what his plan is.

Great lawyer

I was worried about the outcome wasn't sure if he was going to be able to get the dv case against my ex removed but successfully did. Kept me up to date and negotiated with the DA let me know the results as soon as he knew. Thank you anthony arzili.

Outstanding and Genuine Attorney

As I write this review, the storm has passed and Anthony Arzili helped navigate me to safety after one of the most difficult times of my life. Everything in my life was going well and from one moment to the next, I was staring down a felony as I was involved in a domestic violence case. I do not even... believe that I made it, but only positive things have occurred as soon as I retained Mr. Arzili. I spoke to 2 attorneys before speaking to Mr. Arzili, and to be fair, they were very competent, knowledgeable, and painted a logical roadmap of things to expect. While they were experienced in this area of law, I was not fully confident that they were the best fit for my case. After just one phone call with Mr. Arzili, I sensed a quiet confidence about him, coupled with a highly experienced track record. I just knew in my heart that this was the man I wanted in my corner when the going got tough. Once I met him in person, I decided to retain his services that day and he immediately began the legal process. He began to establish communication with the prosecuting DA in an effort to prevent my case from formally being filed as a felony. He and his paralegal, Alicia Walters, moved quickly and through their proactive actions early in the process, I found out about a week later my case was going to be moved down to the city prosecutors to be filed as a possible misdemeanor charge. It was the first sign of good news and my situation was beginning to unfold as Mr. Arzili envisioned. From this point on, Mr. Arzili said he would not stop until he achieved a positive outcome. I was scared about the possibility of jail time and while he made no promises, he simply said he would not let it get to that. His confidence meant everything and gave me the hope to remain strong. Based on the circumstances, we both felt that the best course of action was to work to release the grip the prosecutors had on me and I knew he was building a strong defense to achieve that. When it came down to this pivotal point in negotiations, I knew in my mind that I had retained him for this very moment, it was his time to go to work and come out victorious. While it was scary what the prosecutors were trying to pursue (jail time among other terms), Mr. Arzili assured me that if not early on, he would extend the pre-trials until he wore them down and got to a point where the terms were much more favorable. Again, I knew he had the right balance between tactfulness and confidence, and he continued to assure me that everything was going to be okay. The day before my second court appearance, he gave me the news that his counter offer was accepted. Just like that, 60 days of being in the middle of a storm had finally passed and we were out. I know he had other cases, but I never felt like my case wasn’t given the utmost attention and focus. Whether over the phone, email, or in person, he always made himself available and his confidence never wavered. I would without a doubt recommend his services to anyone going through a similar situation. While the case has finally been resolved with no jail time and my expectations being surpassed, he assured me that he was still there for me if I had any questions and would be able to help me with the expungement process down the line. I mean it when I say he is with you every step of the way and genuinely cares about your well-being during this very difficult time in your life. God Bless

domestic violence wrap

I was stressed out for my kids mom , she was looking at some hard time for a domestic violence charge that was being pushed to a felony by the d.a . I picked mr arzili"s office and was blown away how responsive and caring he and his staff was. The smartest thing i did was to chose mr.arzili because ...i was only wishing to drop the felony charges , instead mr arzili through his experience and knowledge of the courts had all the charges dismissed. I cant tell u how impressed and so grateful i am to mr arzili and alicia for making this happen.
