Review on service for First-time DUI LA County - City of Long Beach I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Anthony Arzili and his assistant, Alicia, during the very unfortunate circumstance I found myself in earlier this year in May. I had the added challenge of having refused the Breathalyz...er test at the time of my arrest and therefore submitted to a blood test. A blood test, that leaves you facing an impending court date with not even knowing the results of your blood test by the time of our first court date. This left me vary concerned and the night of my release, I began searching for the best lawyer to take my very unique case. Having researched as much as I could, I found that I really wanted to find a lawyer that was specific to the LA County and knew that special system and the people that worked in it. I was able to meet with three lawyers the next day and Anthony was one of them. Anthony and Alicia were very welcoming and accommodating to my schedule to see me. This was different from the other two lawyers that I had met with. During my meet with Anthony, he was very straightforward and did not make any promises. This was something that I was expecting and only got from him. It is hard to make promises without knowing the BAC one has at the time of arrest. I decided that after reviewing all of the potential outcomes of the situation, the many questions that I had about every part of the process (first court date, working with the DA, the DMV hearing, getting my license back after the verdict) and the costs associated with obtaining his counsel, Anthony was the prime choice for me. From keeping me updated on his progress with working with the DA, to making payments arrangements with Alicia and exchanging questions, Anthony was informative, details and responsiveness. I had never had to seek the counsel of a legal service provider before, so I was unsure on what to expect in terms of communication from them. I know that I was experiencing a lot of anxiety and I will be honest in that my expectation was to getting updates everyday, but in reality, those expectations are unrealistic. I had even expressed to Anthony that my anxiety was high and he had very sympathetic words and always kept things straightforward. Having a lawyer like this helped me keep my feet on the ground and my mind in order. Which I am sure that many in this situation, can relate to experiencing. Looking back on the experience with Anthony, I see that I got more than what I asked for. On our last day to meet, the final court date, Anthony showed up on time and really helped to take the reigns in the courtroom. He was calm and his demeanor really helped me stay positive and keep my nerves down. He assured me that he would be there to make the next appearance to show I was doing what the court asked, so that I did not have to miss work. This was very helpful. I intend to keep Anthony a part of this case to help me see it expunged from my record for good, in due time. If you want a lawyer that is going to keep it real, know the answers to literally ALL of your questions (I had a million, I promise you), and have a great support team like Alicia (it is just Anthony and Alicia that work for you!), then I definitely recommend Anthony. You get personal service and will be employing someone who knows the LA County system like nobody else could. He is a great person and helped me tremendously through this tough time in my life. Good luck to you out there reading this, you are good hands if you choose Anthony!

I’ve never had to hire a defense attorney before and I’m glad I hired Anthony. He and his paralegal, Alicia are a dedicated team helping to defend innocent victims from a confusing and unforgiving legal system. Anthony’s knowledge of the law, years of experience working as a defense attorney, and r...elationships he has forged with other attorneys and the DA’s Office made him the obvious choice to represent my case. Anthony’s style is upfront and honest. He doesn’t sugar coat the issue and explains to you all of the pros and cons of the case before you make any decision. I really appreciated both his and Alicia’s promptness in replying to all emails and Anthony’s legal advice in answering all of my questions. His dedication to the well-being and positive results for his clients is admiring. While the DA was a little harder on our case, Anthony worked out the best deal he was able to negotiate through his contacts in the DA’s Office and we were eventually able to expunge the record which Anthony and Alicia also handled with utmost expediency and care. I appreciate their hard work, diligence, and commitment to their clients. I highly recommend Anthony and Alicia if you are looking to hire a knowledgeable, well-experienced, and honest defense attorney who is really committed to your case and ensuring only the most positive outcome for you and your family.

I wanted to volunteer at my son's pre-school and was required to get a Livescan. The Livescan results revealed a conviction for having a fake ID some 20+ years earlier. As I thought this had been taken care of long ago, I didn't know what my options were or where to turn for help. I did my researc...h and fortuitously chose Mr. Arzili to represent me. Mr. Arzili explained my options and aggressively pursued the relief I was entitled to. We communicated via e-mail and phone and the resolution did not even require a personal court appearance. Thanks to Mr. Azili's efforts, I no longer worry about the embarrassment of a mistake I made many years ago.
