The most needed dui lawyer Maryland Let me start off by saying thank you so much Ms. Sei Hee. You were amazing and I will literally never forget you a day in my life. I had gotten a DUI charge a few months ago (October) and it was with an accident (I had hit a car and I was so confused). Anyway, it was homecoming and we know how that gets and I was driving home (do not drink and drive) and I spaced out and the next moment I was in the back of someones car. I ended up refusing a breath test and I was told I'm under arrest. I quickly agreed to do the test but the officer told me it's too late but ended up taking me to the station to do the test. I blew a highh number :) and had to get picked up from the station but I did not have a mugshot or anything. Anyway, we had phone calls and she was straight forward as to what my case was looking like with what I was telling her (was not looking too good especially since I was in PG county...) She told me she will send me a list of things to do and to get them done BEFORE my court date. I did get everything done but I was still waiting to hear back on what is next. I was in a panic because duh, why would I not be after they tell you you can go to jail. I had started some of the request before even getting a lawyer (I was just smart enough to know I had to get started the same day after I got released) but she put the cherry on top so I can get the best result. So if you feel like you don't need a lawyer take it from me and get one. You do not know the terminology they are using or even if that is going to result in your best outcome. Moving along, it was getting closer to my court date and we were still waiting on my police report and the videos and this that and the third and they never came so now I'm panicking again because this is the evidence that can make or break my case. I remember stress shopping while talking to her literally the day before my court date.. Like 6 pm and I had to be at court at 8 am the next day. (I got my court date literally less than two months after the accident so work quick with getting her as your lawyer)(I had less than 50 days to do everything needed) and they were uploading the documents LESS THAN A DAY BEFORE MY CASE. Sei Hee told me not to worry because it is not my fault they waited till the last minute and she's going to fight this in court (that is a main reason you need to do everything she tells you to do, so they can't really say you did not learn anything from the situation). Going into court she told me get there early and dress nicely (please dress up guys) so I'm there as soon as the judge is there because he likes to start early (only someone who is working in the courts would know a judge likes to start early.. and once we got in the room people were saying hello to her and smiling). When I got there the officer also showed up and they were trying to postpone my date (my heart was beating so fast because I wanted it to be over it so bad) and Ms. Sei Hee talked to the needed people and she told me and my mother once again do not worry she's going to fight as she did. When I tell you guys I was standing up there for no more than a minute and thirty seconds I kid you not I only say "yes" and "thank you, have a good day" to the judge after him telling me I'm on PBJ !!!!!! I did have to pay $200 but that was nothing compared to the 2000 it was before hand. I got no points, no record and my life back. She's amazing. I got her a month before my court date and I'm so glad I went with her. She has a flat rate which is fair compared to others in the area. She guides you on what needs to be done. She gives you a speech on never do this again and gives you the warmest smile. I got the best outcome for my situation because it was looking rough at first but thank you to Arii Law Firm. <3 (Sorry for any spelling errors guys, just read the story :D). View More

Kind, Compassionate Attorney who gets results I recently had the opportunity to work with Sei-Hee Arii on my DUI case, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance and expertise. From our very first conversation, she demonstrated professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for my situation. She personally answered my calls, took the time to listen, and reassured me that sometimes good people find themselves in tough situations. That level of compassion made all the difference during a stressful time. Sei-Hee was incredibly thorough in her approach—she meticulously reviewed every detail of my case, patiently explained my options, and kept me informed at every stage. Her deep knowledge of DUI law and strategic approach gave me confidence that I was in the best hands. She was always well-prepared and proactive in addressing any concerns, ensuring no detail was overlooked. What truly set Sei-Hee apart was her communication and dedication. She kept me updated throughout the process, making sure I always understood what was happening. Her professionalism, combined with her empathy, made a difficult situation much easier to manage. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my case had a favorable outcome, and even after it was resolved, she continued to provide guidance when I needed it. I highly recommend Sei-Hee Arii to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate attorney. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to achieve the best results. Thank you, Sei-Hee, for your outstanding service and unwavering support! View More

She really cares about you. Not just the case. Ari resolved my issue on two separate occasions. The results were better than I expected. She kept me up to date on the process. Has an online checklist to make sure I stayed on task before the court date. Most importantly she was very empathetic. Even though she was swamped with cases I felt as if I was her only case. Sent me to classes not only to help with my case but to help with my mental. I would recommend her to anyone seeking counsel.

Best Lawyer in Maryland Sei-Hee Arii was an amazing lawyer throughout my DWI/DUI case. She spent endless nights working my case, reviewing footage, and other evidence. She is extremely knowledgeable about the law, and went above and beyond to make sire she has every plan was set. She resolved my case by getting my case dismissed and expunged. She got me a PBJ on a citation which prevented me from receiving any points on my license She always kept me informed of any new information that came out. Even if the information was small, she would give me a call and explain the information given. She helped me with every single process during the case. Not only was she professional and courteous, but she was also EXTREMELY caring and empathetic. I, myself am a student and she would always reassure me to not worry and to continue focusing on my studies. When she tells you she will work your case, she will work your case day and night. I will HIGHLY recommend anyone who is currently seeking legal advice to contact Sei-Hee Arii and have her be by your side. View More

Best Lawyer for Your Case Ari is the best lawyer to handle DUI/DWI cases. If you're like me, the idea of court, trial, etc. creates a lot of anxiety. However, I had the best lawyer who not only handled my legal needs but also cared about my mental state. I would not have won without her!
W. S. Recommends April 9, 2023
She is a detailed oriented lawyer She advocates for her clients and represent them well, she send email reminders to her client before court.

Thank you very much.

The most important thing to understand is follow her advice and things she ask to do. Overall Attorney Sei-Hee was a great attorney for my case she gave me a full run down of what to expect potential options that could happen, but most importantly she provided a sense of trust in her that made me feel confident that I made the right decision on having her as a representative.
Chris J. Recommends February 3, 2023

Seihee worked efficiently and was extremely communicative. Lawyer Seihee was extremely understanding and communicative while working with me and my case. She was able to get my case dismissed successfully without the need of my appearance in court which saved me a lot of time and pressure. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with her and I’m extremely grateful for the outcome and her help!

Honest, Knowledgeable, Reliable, Reachable, and Affordable LISTEN!!! I got in trouble with the police recently while driving after a night of celebrating. Yes I had been drinking( most of us have done this a time or two). I got pulled over by a MONTGOMERY COUNTY STATE TROOPER late at night. Omg when I tell you I was scared, you couldn’t understand unless you’ve been in this situation. Long story short charges and fines were bought against me by the STATE. I have NEVER been in trouble with the law and I was facing a few different charges with hefty fines and penalties. I was worried out of my mind in the consequences Re my actions that night. I could loose EVERYTHING behind this bad choice in judgement TO DRIVE WHEN I KNOW I HAD CONSUMED ALCOHOL but in my mind I was good to drive. I had talked to at least four Lawyers and was so disappointed to learn to them I was just a CHECK. I got depressed, couldn’t sleep, etc.. for two weeks I PRAYED PRAYED PRAYED PRAY and CRIED CRIED CRIED asking MY HEAVENLY FATHER to help me and send me the right lawyer. November 2022 while online Ms. Arii’s website came up and I AM SO SO SO GLAD I LOOKED AT IT plus reasonably price (not trying to rob you like some these other Lawyers. Her response back was fast (like next day fast). Her demeanor and tone is pleasant and calming. She understood everything I was going through criminally and emotionally and she talked to and with me reassuring me if I chose to have her as a Lawyer she wouldn’t let me down. I listened and followed her instructions re different things and was successful re those things leading to my court case. Ms. Arii never leaves you on standby. She responds to texts, voicemails, emails, PHONE CALLS are answered. She listens without interrupting. ALWAYS positive vibes and thoughts throughout this process. She will be honest with you re the seriousness and outcome of your cases. ALL CHARGES WE DISMISSED BY THE JUDGE!!! Prayer works!!!! LESSON LEARNED AND WILL NOT BE REPEATED. MS. ARII IS A GEM and SHE DEFINITELY KNOWS THE LAW . She fights hard for her clients and I mean that. I’m very satisfied with the representation and results received re my Criminal cases. Thank you !

Exceptional and Compassionate Lawyer I am very grateful for the help I received from attorney Sei-Hee Arii. She guided me the entire way to make sure I was as prepared for all my court hearings. She made an especially nerve racking situation as comfortable as possible and did all the “heavy lifting.” What really made Sei-Hee stand out amongst the other lawyers in the court room is how hard she fought for me to make sure I got the best possible outcome in my case. She went above and beyond for me and I am so thankful of that.

Ms Sei-Hee Arii is caring, compassionate and knowledgeable in DUI/ DWI cases. Ms Sei-Hee Arii is a powerful, caring and knowledgeable lawyer. On 01/01/2022 at 11:57pm, I had DUI/DWI and Negligent driving vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner which are three charges. I was confused, frustrated and thought my whole life had come to an end. I contacted several lawyers, they told me that it will be difficult to win the MVA hearing and that I should go and put in the ignition interlock device, which I will have to blow before the car will start and that will show that I have alcohol in my system. That device will have to be in my car for one year. And that they will handle the case in court. I went online again and I saw Ms Sei-Hee Arii profile / review and I called her, she listened to my case and told me that I should not worry, and that she is going to handle both the MVA hearing and the court case for me. She gave me hope when there was no hope. I had confidence in her based on her profile review and case records. So, on 14th-March-2022, we went for the MVA hearing, behold, Ms Sei-hee Arii Presented a wonderful defense and I won the MVA hearing. Today 06 -September-2022, we went to court for the DUI,DWI and Reckless driving case and Ms Sei-Hee Ari did wonderfully well and all the charges were dropped. That is, I won my case. Ma'am, I am short of words, I am so proud of you. Please, if you have a DUI / DWI, I highly recommend Ms Sei-Hee Arii to handle and solve the case(s) for you. View More

Excellent Attorney I had been arrested and charges with DUI, DWI and failure to remain at an accident; I contacted Sei-Hee Arri about my case and she agreed to represent me. Her professionalism, empathy and helpful advice were invaluable. Taking her advice and trusting her with my situation was very successful. She was able to get the DUI abd DWI nol pors and the accident charge reduced to negligent driving with 0 points and a minimul fine. I highly recommend her services to anyone dealing with DUI's and/or DWI's; she will fight for you and give sage advice due to her years of succesful experience. View More

Trustworthy Ms. Arii is an incredible lawyer - she is smart and helped guide me through a DUI charge. I knew from our first conversation that I would be hiring her. She is readily available and answered all my questions, even giving me the worst case scenarios (upon my request). Her tenacity is admirable. I cannot recommend Mrs. Arii enough.
K. Fra Recommends November 22, 2020
Represented me in my DUI Case Prior to my DUI arrest I never imagined I would be facing being convicted and possibly serving time in jail and it happened I knew I needed someone with experience in handling DUI cases to represent me, so I started researching. After talking with other attorneys, I didn’t feel comfortable with their presentation and not sure of their strategies. I eventually came to Attorney Sei-Hee Arii. In the initial consultations she was clear and made sure I understood her approach. This made me feel comfortable with her representing me in court. Sei Hee always kept me informed and ensured I knew every step she would take. The end results were, all charges of DUI, DUI per se, DWI, and failure to control vehicle speed on highway to avoid collision were dismissed. I highly recommend Attorney Sei-Hee Arii services for others who face similar circumstances. View More

Will fight for you! Getting a DUI was incredibly scary. I was clueless about what to do, or how to properly handle the situation. I talked to a couple of lawyers, but Sei-Hee stood out. She was friendly and explained everything thoroughly. I was frustrated and anxious dealing with this whole situation, but she did make it better. When my court date finally arrived, Sei-Hee managed to get my DUI case dropped down to a PBJ negligent driving case. She's amazing and if you're going through this situation, go to her! She'll work to get the best possible outcome for you. She did for me!!! View More
