Trusted Criminal Defense And Personal Injury Representation

 “Thank you for being a superb lawyer!”

 

 — Sherman S.

 

“I would recommend Phil to every one. He is my attorney for the rest of my life. He did the impossible. I spoke to many attorneys and they all said it could not be done. Phil did what he set out to do with ease. He kept us informed of his progress. All I can say is thank you, Mr. Phil.”

“I had an charge on my FBI background check that was from 20 years ago when I was a juvenile that should not have been there. I asked a dozen local lawyers to get it removed and had a range of responses from: “I have no idea how to help you” to “don’t even try, it can’t be done.” When I found Mr. Arnel online, I was extremely skeptical as I don’t trust the internet at all. And despite being out of state, he was really great and got it done ahead of schedule. I was so mind blown that this is practically the only review I’ve ever written about anything.”

“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.”

— Bruce S.

 

“This lawyer was amazing to work with. He responded to my original inquiry quite quickly. He then kept in close contact with me during the whole process, carefully explaining each step to me. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions and concerns. He went above and beyond in helping me with my case. I was fortunate to find such a driven, trustworthy, and professional lawyer.”

 

— Jill D.

 

“Working with Phil was an excellent experience from beginning to end. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly he got to work gathering documents. Communication was excellent and varied including phone calls, text messages and emails. He was patient and thorough with all questions we asked and even answered the questions we didn’t ask. Working with Phil, it was clear that he was very knowledgeable about the law and that he is well thought of by persons in the court system.”

 

— Robin W.

 

“Philip Arnel did a really good job in my case by getting three times the amount that I thought I would get for my injury. He’s very good at what he does and he’s compassionate.”

 

— Mary Lou C.

“We were truly blessed to have Phil in our corner. He’s brilliant, patient, experienced with unparalleled knowledge of the law and legal system, works 24/7, and always tells it like it is. A malicious neighbor made false allegations to obtain a one-year 258E Harassment Prevention Order against our then 16-year-old son in the Hampden County Juvenile Court (Springfield). After several attorneys told us that there was nothing we could do and our son would just have to live with this devastating permanent record, we fortunately found Phil and sent him police reports, photos, text messages, town official letters, and prior hearing transcripts…Read More“

 — Dimitri K.

“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.”

“Its been a long road! Thank you Phil, for everything. I really appreciate the amazing job you did – esp talking me off the ledge a few times.”

 

— Bruce S.

 

“Thank you Phil for returning me to my profession and restoring my life! You are the one and only attorney with the tried and true experience in litigating fraudulent restraining orders that could have won this case for me!”

 

— Jean I.

“He was always available to discuss any questions that I had. Phil is an honest and caring man who clearly knows what he is doing. Thank you.”

“On September 27th, 2021, I received a summons to appear in court on October 8th, 2021 to defend myself against a 258E [Harassment Prevention Order]. Basically, I had sent some off-taste messages to an old worker who had essentially ghosted me. When I received the summons, I felt as if I had not harassed her, but was not sure how to defend myself. I also have a clean record, and did not want to risk having a restraining order on my record. That’s when I contacted Phil. Phil responded within minutes, and had me gather all the needed documents so he could adequately defend me. Within a few days, he knew exactly how he was going to approach the case and he gave me confidence that we could win. The whole trial lasted about 10 minutes, and the judge even took a minute to acknowledge that Phil was very competent and knowledgeable about the law at hand. We won the case, and I definitely think Phil is the reason for that. I now still have a clean record, and have Phil to thank. Thanks Phil!”

 

 —Daniel M.

“Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Phil to be your lawyer to represent you and your situation. I was able to quickly connect and talk to him about my specific difficult situation and without hesitation he immediately started to work on my case. Throughout the process he was always available to talk and was very proactive in addressing the situation. He kept me updated throughout the process. When it came to resolving the issue, he explained everything in detail and ultimately helped to mediate the case and resolve the issue to my complete satisfaction. He was able to communicate and keep me updated. Very professional and organized.”

“Working with Attorney Philip was an amazing experience. Before meeting Philip, I was in a panic to do an FBI CORI which required fingerprints for a job offer. I had called the lawyer who had worked on my case and tried to get him to Seal and Update my FBI CORI but his response was “there’s nothing we can do.” That is when I went online to do my research and that’s how I landed on attorney Philip’s website. I read through the testimonies on his website but I had to say, I was skeptical at first because not everything that’s on the internet is real. I followed my gut & called attorney Philip’s office. Philip was extremely knowledgeable about the FBI Sealing and Updating CORI process and he was able to answer all my questions. It felt great working with a lawyer that was confident in his work. Philip returns phone calls and emails promptly. Once I handed all the required documents he needed to work on my case, it took him 5 days to SEAL my FBI record. I highly recommend Philip!”

 

 —Mary K.

“There are few things more terrifying than being accused of a crime you didn’t commit. I am grateful to have had a strong defense lawyer like Phil on my side. He explained everything so that I could understand it, and thoroughly prepared me for the hearing. Phil was responsive and made me feel like my case was important to him. I am happy to report that we won my case. I would recommend Phil to anyone.”
