Let’s see…I’ll start off by saying, that I’m a normal God-fearing, taxpaying citizen of the United States. However, my world was suddenly flipped upside down after I was charged with two false criminal charges. Entering a completely new world, I did the best homework I could, including “interviewing” 4 criminal defense attorneys in person, and many more over the phone. I also did extensive online and referral research to weed out prospects. Money was not an issue because my primary concern was hiring the most competent attorney possible; however, through my research, I found that Mr. Arzili’s rates fall toward the middle of the spectrum.
During the “interview” process, I was most impressed by Mr. Arzili’s refusal to make any grandiose claims simply based on the limited information I gave him. Every attorney I spoke to made “promises” on how likely the situation will play out in court. For all you people who are new to the criminal court system, as the defendant, you know NOTHING based on simply a police report and your arrest. In addition, the defendant cannot tell his or her side of the story until AFTER the DA’s side provides ALL evidence and witness testimony.
Based on Mr. Arzili’s track record and my gut instinct, I hired him and he stepped me through the entire process, from the pre-lim to pre-trial proceedings, and finally to trial. Mr. Arzili is extremely knowledgeable in criminal law and provided a fantastic performance during the trial (he had great rapport with the jury). As a result, both my criminal charges were dismissed. Mr. Arzili saved my life, and I am forever thankful. I don’t have experience with other defense attorneys, but I assure you, I did my homework and I’m confident I found the best.
