Satisfied Clients

“Phil was an excellent resource in getting my FBI record sealed. I called several other lawyers before I called Phil and they all said it was nearly impossible to seal an FBI record. Sure enough, Phil was able to get it done for me! I highly recommend Phil for any legal issue. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients.”

Satisfied Clients

“Just before a long weekend I was served with false and malicious 258E Harassment Prevention Order. However it contained some serious allegations, and a hearing was in 4 days. I contacted several attorneys and wasn’t impressed until I spoke to Phil Arnel. He’s clearly the Massachusetts expert on 209As and 258Es. He took charge of the situation by getting to know the facts and ultimately the order was not extended. Phil is relentless and has a no nonsense attitude. When you want to bring a gun to a knife fight, Attorney Phil Arnel is your man.”

Satisfied Clients

“Atty Phil Arnel was a godsend in a time of fear and confusion when our son, a minor, was falsely accused of sexual misconduct. From the very first contact, Phil was a calming force and guided us through the legal process with ease, working to confirm our son’s innocence and seek a dismissal, which he achieved [prior to arraignment]. His doggedness in defending our son, the care with which he treated him from day one, and the results he achieved for us have made us life long clients.”

– AnneMarie D., mother of minor client

Satisfied Clients

“Phil, I fell off a roof 30 feet and three lawyers told me I had no case. You said I did and we settled for $90,000 and had all my hospital bills paid. When I was in the hospital for those 10 days it was a nice feeling knowing I had the best lawyer working for me and keeping my spirits up. I don’t know where I would be today if not for your professional and sincere work habits. I’m proud to say you’re my lawyer and friend. Thanks again.”
