“Thank you for being a superb lawyer!”

Sherman S.
client

“Great man! Understanding, excellent at explaining everything, extremely knowledgeable, reliable and definitely shows the effort for the best outcome. He is great at keeping you updated, extremely professional, but down to earth and easy to talk to like a great family member. 10/5 stars recommend.”

Luis M.
client

“Attorney Arnel is a BADASS in court. I have never met anyone as confident and as well versed as Mr. Arnel. He truly is fantastic at what he does. After one of our hearings, someone stopped me in the parking lot to ask for my attorney’s name because he thought he was amazing in court. I proudly gave him Attorney Arnel’s contact information. I highly recommend Mr. Arnel. If you need an attorney that listens, understands, and is willing to go above and beyond, Attorney Arnel is the badass lawyer you want.”

“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.”

George N.
client

“Let me start by saying that you would be lucky to have Phil take on your case.  He is incredibly detail oriented and worked tirelessly to make sure that I felt comfortable.  He has decades of experience and has incredible understanding of the system.  I am a professional by trade and had false allegations made against me.  He was reassuring and incredibly supportive of my anxieties as we went through the process.  Most of all, he went above and beyond even when (especially when) he didn’t need to.  I owe him a huge debt of gratitude for guiding me through the process and holding my hand through some of the scariest moments of my life (with carefully selected and appropriate doses of humor to keep me going).  I did my due diligence before selecting representation, and after talking to numerous lawyers, I feel so lucky and blessed that I was lucky enough to have Phil take on my case.  I’ve rarely done reviews like this, but he’s truly a hidden gem.  PLEASE give him a call, you will NOT be disappointed.”

“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.”

Bradley A.
client

“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.”

Travis P.
client

“Phil is the most responsive attorney I have ever worked with across them legal spectrum (civil, criminal, divorce). He is well regarded by the courts. I was lucky to have him in my corner.”

Bruce S.
client

“I cannot recommend Attorney Phil Arnel highly enough. He is a rare combination of expertise, tenacity, and genuine care for his clients. Specializing in restraining orders, Phil brings a depth of experience and confidence to the courtroom that immediately puts you at ease. From the very first meeting, his no-nonsense attitude made it clear that he was fully committed to protecting my rights and pursuing the best possible outcome. Phil is not only exceptionally knowledgeable about the law, but also deeply passionate about client advocacy. He takes the time to explain the process, prepares meticulously, and represents you with strength and clarity before the judge. His presence in the courtroom is commanding—he is focused, strategic, and unwavering in his advocacy. What impressed me most is how much he truly cares. Phil balances his professionalism with empathy, making you feel heard and supported during what can be a very stressful and emotional process. He doesn’t sugarcoat, he tells you what you need to know, and then he fights tirelessly on your behalf. If you need an attorney with proven courtroom experience, a sharp and practical approach, and a genuine passion for standing up for his clients, Phil Arnel is absolutely the attorney you want by your side.”

Brian L.
client

“If you are struggling with some form of legal craziness like I was and you’ve never been to court, I NEED YOU TO HEAR ME OUT. Don’t go in alone. It’s truly daunting and some things are decided based on so little evidence, and the effects can be severely impactful to your future. Phil is just … amazing. He knows the rules. He understands and has gathered so much experience in this field. I read his testimonials on his website. I truly had hoped that what I was reading was truth. Someone had mentioned that having Phil in your corner “was like bringing a gun to a knife fight.” Truly that describes how hard Phil will defend you. He’s dedicated and he cares. I was amazed with how hard he prepared and built up my defense. He was a real Champion! Things would have gone entirely different for me if I had gone in alone. Honestly human to human … Phil cares. He will fight for you! I will always choose Phil to have in my corner. Thanks Again Phil for everything.”

Adam S.
client

“Dear Phil, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your exceptional work today [04/17/2026]. What you achieved in the courtroom means more to me than words can fully capture. You not only defended me, but you brought this matter to a full and final resolution by successfully terminating the harassment prevention order against me. Your professionalism, confidence, and command of the case were truly remarkable. The way you presented the facts with such clarity, precision and composure made the truth undeniable. You addressed every point with authority, and when necessary, you firmly corrected misstatements and positions that were clearly unsupported by the plaintiff. It became evident that the arguments made against me could not stand under your scrutiny. What struck me most was how you brought balance back into the courtroom. Situations that were being presented as one-sided or for personal convenience for over 4 years were calmly and effectively put into proper legal perspective. You made it clear that the law is not to be shaped for individual preference, but to be applied fairly—and that made all the difference. Your presence was powerful and composed, and it was clear that your work earned the court’s attention and respect. I could truly feel the impact of your advocacy in the room. Beyond your legal expertise, your integrity and the way you carried yourself were equally impressive. You represented me with dignity, strength and honor, and I felt genuinely supported and protected throughout. Thank you for believing in my case and for standing by me with such dedication. Thank you for relieving me from stress anxiety and a big burden that poisoned my life for years. Your work has had really a profound impact on my life, and I will always be grateful. Please believe it. With sincere thanks and appreciation.”

client

“Mr. Philip Arnel is an excellent professional attorney who comes through for his clients. Often interactions with attorneys are bitter or worse. I am writing this review because Mr. Philip Arnel has proven himself to be truly different. I can honestly say that my interactions with him have been the most positive I have ever had with an attorney. He returns phone calls and emails, works day and night to best serve his clients, and does not hide behind a secretary. He values his time and yours so he cuts to the chase to get the required details for determining if he can provide the defense you need with the outcome you desire. He is skilled with case subjects that most attorneys are not and he knows how to get results. Do you have a legal issue that needs a specialist? You need someone who will be honest with you, who won’t pop up with surprises, and who will work hard for the results you need. Mr. Philip Arnel is the guy.”

Michelle M.
client

“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.
client

“Hi Phil, Thanks very much for your EXCELLENT work in representing me in this nightmare. The Old Colony Memorial ran a ‘Manomet man innocent of [criminal charges redacted]’ story. I called them and asked that they do it. The reporter told me that Steve Nelson (former New England Patriot linebacker) was on the jury. How cool is that? Thank you again, and I would like to add my testimonial to the ones on your website. Jim”

James M.
client

“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.”

Brad H.
client

“Philip Arnel is brilliant, hard working, diligent, tall and handsome. He 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. Oh, and did I mention that he’s tall and handsome?! I’m a client now and always will be.”

Mary Lou C.
client

“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. Phil received this huge package on a Friday and by Sunday he had already strategized a winning game plan to successfully overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles and odds that we faced. Phil also asked each of us to provide a detailed chronological summary of events and rebuttals to the false allegations in order to devise a remarkable strategy. He has excellent communication skills and an impressive rapport with all of the court personnel and even the opposing attorney. My son’s record was expunged in all of the local, state and federal databases and the court’s paper file was completely destroyed. Phil even coordinated with the local police chief to expunge all police records and entries of the 258E order. Currently an 18-year-old college student, my son now enjoys a completely normal life without the concern of lost job prospects and crushed dreams, all thanks to our attorney’s due diligence and hard work. We really just want to thank Phil for his priceless work and know that we could have never paid him enough for what he did. We shall always be thankful.”

Dimitri K.
client’s father

“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

“Phil is exceptionally knowledgeable, he was extremely responsive to my case (expungement of a 209A restraining order record), and he was ultimately successful. Throughout the process, it was obvious that Phil is a niche expert in this gray area of law. Phil was also very respectful of all the personal subtleties of my case and helped things go as smoothly as possible.”

Sean M.
client

“Phil helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. He was always respectful, attentive, professional and on top of every issue that came up in my case. I highly recommend to anyone that finds themselves in a difficult legal situation, call Attorney Arnel. Your best interests are his, and you can feel it every step of the way.”

Judith N.
client

“Mr. Arnel is an excellent attorney. Mr. Arnel is very knowledgeable about background checks and updating [FBI] records. Not many attorneys possess the level of expertise in this field that Mr. Arnel has. To my knowledge, there are few attorneys in the country that specialize in updating [FBI] records. Mr. Arnel is attentive, responsive, and professional. Months after Mr. Arnel completed his work, I realized that the state had made a mistake at the end of the process of updating my [FBI] record. Had I followed Mr. Arnel’s detailed instructions for checking to ensure the process was complete, this would not have happened. Regardless, Mr. Arnel reacted incredibly fast to work with the state agency to rectify the situation. I can’t say enough positive things about my experiences with the Law Office of Philip Arnel.”

“I reread the testimonial that I wrote you years back and wholeheartedly believe that you still don’t know the impact you have on peoples’ lives! Forever grateful! You are one of a kind! Thank you!!!”

Lorraine J. (formerly Lorraine G.)
client

“I cannot find the words to thank you enough for what you have done for me. Your defense during my case was relentless, thorough and above all well planned. I cannot imagine having the same results with another attorney. My case was a very difficult one. You went up against a large corporation and fought hard for me. I do not know if you are aware of the full impact you have on people’s lives. I spent many sleepless nights wondering the results and planning for the worse to happen and at the end, that last day in court, I walked away. I made it as far as my car before realizing that I was again a free woman. I then broke down and cried. Two years of heart aches and worry were finally over. The only single person I have to thank for that is you. What other attorney would have worked late to build a strong defense for court the next day? I would be surprised yet happy when my phone would ring as late as 9:00 p.m. to find it was you, still working on my defense. I was so fortunate to find an attorney who cared about the person involved as much as the win. Again, I cannot express how grateful I am. Warm Regards.”

Lorraine G.
client

“I was in a car accident in 2019. It was my first car accident since I got my license. I had a concussion from the accident which was also my first concussion. Then the phone calls started coming in from the insurance companies. One after another and it was really becoming overwhelming to me at that time because of the concussion. From the moment I hired Attorney Phil the calls stopped. He handled the entire process with the insurance companies from the beginning through settlement. I know insurance companies try to take advantage of people and Phil didn’t let that happen with me at all. Phil fights for his clients rights, this may sound odd but not all attorneys do that and they’re supposed to. I would hire Phil again and would recommend him to my family and friends.”

Thomas G.
client

“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! I knew, at our first consultation, that I was in expert hands. Your experience, intelligence, diligence, commitment, perseverance, professionalism and skill are second to none! You were always available, returning my calls and guiding me through those awful and anxious times. You kept me level and focused, bringing me through this to a very happy ending. You expertly constructed my case while taking apart the other party’s fraudulent claims. You we1re able to do this thanks to your legal expertise, research and preparedness.

I am forever grateful for what you did for me and in the compassionate and professional manner in which you did it. When asked by friends and family for the name of a good attorney, I tell them that I know a great attorney, Philip Arnel! You are the finest attorney ever and I am forever grateful to you. Sincerely,”

Jean I.
client

“Philip, Words cannot express how deeply grateful we are to you for the excellent work done. I feel that you have given us our lives back. The work and dedication you gave to my case will be something I will never forget. Best wishes to you as you continue to provide an excellent service to those dedicated in changing for the better. You have truly been a God-send to our family.”

Matt S.
client

“If you are ever summonsed to appear for a clerk-magistrate or show-cause hearing (often called a probable cause hearing) you would be very foolish to go it alone without an experienced attorney. The next mistake you could make would be to hire an attorney other than Philip Arnel. I received a summons for a clerk-magistrate’s hearing for making criminal threats (although I never directly threatened anyone). Philip Arnel will walk you through every step of the process and his calm demeanor and dedication to personally defend you (no paralegals or associates) will give you the best chance of winning your case. If you are successful in the clerk-magistrate’s hearing the incident will not go on your record and it will be as if it never happened. If you go it alone and lose the hearing, the incident will go on your CORI and may even appear in the local paper. Being cheap in a case like this can be very expensive for you personally and professionally. In my specific case, Phil was able to cite a legal precedent that persuaded the police and clerk-magistrate that no crime ever occurred.”

Jeff M.
client

“I want to thank you for the excellent way you handled my accident case. You were very up to date on the status with the various insurance companies. I know this is not the usual case with attorneys. [Chiropractor] Martha McDonald remarked that you would be the kind of lawyer she would want representing her. So thanks again for your support during a difficult time for me. Best regards, Joan”

Joan G.
client

“Phil, I just want to thank you for all you have done for my family and I. For the past 1-½ years I was house bound. I felt lost, but you were there for me. It’s nice to know I have a great lawyer whose diligence and continuous perseverance to help me get through the rough times and not have to worry about anything. I could never thank you enough.”

“Hello Phil and happy holidays. It has been a while since we last communicated. All is well here and I hope all is the same with you. Please know that you will always be in our hearts and mind. We will never forget what you did for our son and his future. Please know that it will now and always be greatly appreciated. Wishing you the best for the holidays and a prosperous new year!”

Julio, Carlota and Javion C.

“Mr. Arnel: I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your efforts on behalf of my brother, John. I am totally convinced that his sentence would have been much lengthier without your support — it must be gratifying to see that your talents can have such a major impact on another person’s life! I am hoping during his incarceration he can start to get some of the help he needs and uses this time to examine the choices he has made. Hopefully, he can make choices in the future that will create a more positive path and draw him closer to his family. Thank you again for all your efforts and counsel to our family. Best regards.”

Nancy S.
client’s sister

“I met Phil when he was representing an opposing client that I was in litigation with. A few months prior, I had been in a serious auto accident and he took my case. Over the years Phil has represented me in a few cases, and he has always been a tireless, no nonsense professional who worked hard for his clients. Not only do I trust Phil as my attorney, but I also value him even more as my friend.”

Stanley J.

“Phil, You’ve been very helpful and extremely kind to all of us. You’ve also had a lot of patience. I just want to thank you for all you’ve done for me. You’re a fabulous lawyer and again I just want to say thank you. Also I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy and safe New year. Sincerely.”

“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.”

William D.
client

“Phil was a life saver. I had never been to court before, and had no idea of what to expect. My fears and anxieties had my brain forming the worst case scenarios. Phil wasted no time getting into my case. He’s experienced, skilled, and honestly the greatest chance you have when walking into a court room. He’s personable and knows the laws and rules and will fight for you tooth and nail. He gathers facts, brings notes, and highlighted laws. He’s truly dedicated and I’m so grateful! Thanks Phil!”

Adam S.
client

“Phil: Just a note to express my humble thanks for your tireless effort on my behalf. To think that I was told by a so-called top-tier lawyer that litigation in a dispute with my tenant would be far too expensive and that I would not stand a good chance to prevail against a multi-billion dollar corporate tenant like Sears. I did indeed take that lawyer’s advice and just wrote it off as a loss. Fortunately, five years later, you became my friend and I thought to offer you this ‘lost cause.’ I am aware of your correspondence and many calls to the Sears corporate attorneys in Chicago and of how you pressed them to respond. That is the kind of effort and aggressiveness that I appreciate. It was no more than a few months when I received my payment in full from Sears for nearly $40,000.00. Thank you for that and it is comforting to know that if I should ever need assistance with any difficult matter in the future that I need only to call a friend whom I can trust. Once again, thank you and I wish you well in your practice. Regards.”

Gregory K.
client

“Dear Mr. Arnel, I wish to express my sincerest gratitude for all you have done in helping win my case in court. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you will have a speedy recovery with your shoulder, and I wish you and your family the most happiest of holiday’s this season. Once again I thank you and God bless.”

Carlton W.
client

“Dear Philip Arnel: Once again I thank you for the great job you did while working on my case. I have dealt with a few lawyers in recent years during my divorce and you top the list as a GREAT LAWYER! You did your home work and knew my case. Therefore, you were ready to go to bat on my behalf. You’re THE BEST. I will recommend you to everyone I know in need of a good lawyer. Thank you.”

Carlton W.
client

“I just wanted to say thanks for all your help and patience at a time in my life when I needed both of them. I also want to express my appreciation for your extra help when I spoke with you about my [subject omitted]. You didnt have to do what you did, so all I can say is thanks again. I will definitely keep you in mind for all legal matters (for both myself and all of my friends) in the future. Best wishes,”

“Please know that you came highly recommended by our dear friend [and your former client] Jeanne Iwata. You have served us beyond and above any Lawyers’ capacity that we have ever encountered. You are a true example of what the Law is, was, and should stand for. We can not thank you enough and would gladly let you use us as a reference. With your permission, we would not hesitate to refer clients worthy of your services.”

Pamela and Bryan L.
parents of minor client

“Attorney Arnel, I wanted to say a big thank you for being such a ‘great support.’ You have been a ‘rock’ when I needed assistance. This situation has made things difficult, but your support, knowledge and care has made it easier!
Thank you for all you have done! Sincerely,”

Heather S.
client

“Phil: I wanted to thank you for all that you did to help me over the past several weeks. I have had limited experience with other attorneys, but you are by far the best one I have ever met. I would have said that regardless of today’s outcome, too. In fact, I probably annoyed my wife with the amount of times I told her how great you are.

You literally saved my career. I can’t even begin to explain how much what you did means to me, my family and my children’s futures. I just hope you don’t brush these comments off as another client who is caught up in the moment after a favorable ruling. Please take it to heart that you do some of the most important work imaginable. You change and save lives. Many attorneys are incompetent, many are lucky, many are good, and you are in a class of your own.

Thanks again for your patience, unbelievable attention to detail and compassion. I will never forget this. And if ANYONE needs an attorney for ANY reason, I will recommend you and you only. Sincerely,”

Jay T.
client

“Dear Phil: You get the best attorney award 2010, from us! Words could not begin to tell you how much we appreciate your time, your words and your fight for Mike. Thank you so very much. Just wanted you to know we appreciate and applaud you! Thanks again.”

“Attorney Phil Arnel is absolutely a person I would use again whether it is a civil or criminal legal matter. Never have I seen such determination and willingness to work on any legal matter that came our way. His knowledge of the law is second to none. Attorney Arnel answers every question with sincerity and always returned any email or voicemail I sent him almost instantaneously. I always felt that I had not just a lawyer who cared in my corner, but a friend as well. Even when I had severe doubts about my case, Attorney Arnel always guided me with sincerity and respect. For that I will be entirely grateful that he was recommended to me.”

Christopher C.
client

“Dear Phil, I want to thank you for having so effectively represented me in my bodily injuries claim. I know it was not easy task dealing with this particular insurance company … although I must confess I very much enjoyed hearing the stories of your dealings with their liability adjuster, as you were able to add humor into the most frustrating situations – you’re truly amazing. I’m very grateful for your remarkable hard work and dedication. I honestly believe that without you in my corner a fair settlement would have never been reached. I would never hesitate to have you represent me, or anyone I care about, if ever in need of legal representation in the future. Best”

“Hi Phil: I want to thank you for your letter enclosing the final settlement check and for your help in dealing with the various insurance companies involved in Nicole’s case. Although I feel that I will never have closure in such a tragic situation, I was always confident that you would get me through this legal ordeal. This was not an easy situation for either of us, but you handled it in a professional and caring manner. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who needed excellent legal representation. Best regards,”

“I came into contact with Phil in 2005 when he represented me in my first car accident claim. He was very professional and officious with my entire case! I was very pleased with the end result, especially considering that I was left with visible scars from this accident. I contacted Phil again in 2008 with regard to yet another car accident that I was involved in because I trusted him enough to represent me. Once again, Phil did everything to help me and made me feel like I was in great hands. He is extremely professional and even called to remind me of all of my medical appointments. He always took my calls and answered all of my questions! Of course my main question was, “How much am I getting?” … lol. I was happy with the result of everything that he did for me. My family and I were involved in an unfortunate five-car accident in 2013 and Phil was the first person whom I thought of as I was placed in the ambulance. He then represented me in my third bodily injury claim because I would not have trusted anyone else. He worked very diligently for over a year on this case, which ultimately settled. I couldn’t believe the amount of money that he got me. I was beyond happy, excited and grateful for the wonderful job that he did and could not stop thanking him. I will definitely call Phil if I ever need a lawyer in the future. Thank you, Phil, for everything that you did for me!”

“Phil, Thanks for representing me at the magistrates court last Monday. You put in the hard work and told me step by step what was going to happen. Your work was eye opening, as far as how you knew how to handle the court system. I cringe at the thought of having hired another lawyer, or worse not having any representation. Thanks again”

“Phil, Your representation on my behalf during today’s clerk-magistrate hearing was flawless. Right from the hearing opening you demonstrated a take charge approach. Your aggressiveness and years of experience were truly evident and a sight to be seen. It was clear to me you were fully prepared and had an excellent understanding of the issues involved. I was very proud to have you as my attorney. Thank you.”

“I met Phil over 20 years ago when he was referred to me. From day one I knew he was the real deal. I have worked with Phil over the years since and wouldn’t have it any other way. He has provided legal services for not only me but for my friends and family, and has made a lasting impression. I am happy to have Phil in my corner.”

Don W.

“Mr. Arnel is a fantastic attorney. You will be more than satisfied with the work ethic, care, and professionalism that he gives to each of his clients/cases. Mr. Arnel always made an effort to reach out to me explaining where we were in the process, and what was going on between the insurance companies. I always felt confident that he had my best interests in mind and that he fought for the highest amount of compensation possible. I highly recommend Mr. Arnel. He is a great attorney and person.”

Christopher T.
client

“We used Mr. Arnel a couple of times. He is so efficient and very helpful in explaining the law to us so that we can understand it. He always treated us with the utmost professionalism. He is extremely ethical and honest. He is a wonderful attorney. We know if we ever need legal assistance that he would be our first and only choice!”

Effie and Michael D.
client

“Phil represented both my wife and I in three separate cases this past summer. While every other lawyer we had spoken to suggested that there would be some repercussions, Phil ensured us that he could get the cases dismissed and clear my record, which he did each time. Outstanding service, 10/10. We are proud to have him represent us and he will be our first call if we ever need a lawyer again.”

“I contacted Mr. Arnel two days before my brother’s court date. With such short notice it was definitely a challenge! Despite the short notice and the challenges faced, Mr. Arnel was able to get the job done successfully. From the moment I contacted him, he was on the case and got the ball rolling. He was prompt, responsive, and thorough. There is no other that I would trust with such a personal matter and very, very happy to have him on my team.”

“Attorney Arnel is a knowledgeable, trustworthy attorney who will represent you in a professional manner. Phil will guide you step by step through the process and provide great legal advice. I would highly recommend Phil without reservation.”

David L.
client

“Philip was on top of every facet of our legal needs. Always did what he said he would do. Something not found very often anymore.”

Wayne G.
client’s brother

“Phil was great with my case – he took it last minute, explained everything to me regarding restraining orders and that different rules applied (as evidence, jurisdiction, etc.) and managed to exclude all the plaintiff’s evidence at the hearing. He also had to read a lot of paperwork, since it was a very convoluted case with multiple cases outside of Massachusetts. The restraining order suit was dismissed.”

Adriana S.
client

“Philip L. Arnel is knowledgeable, supportive to the whole family and worked with all parties to ensure a fair outcome.”

Alicia R-A.
client

“Very dependable, professional, and always reachable during the case. My 86-year-old mother was victimized through a false 258E harassment prevention order. It did not meet the criteria for the order and had three witnesses to verify that the incident did not happen, but was still granted. It was horrific to see my elderly mother being abused through the legal system I had previously thought was fair and just. Mr. Arnel was hired for the one-year hearing and the case was dismissed. He was great throughout this process and was always reachable, finally ending it.”

“Philip, Thank you very much for your help in sealing Kelly’s CORI. Your sped and thoroughness was outstanding. We appreciate your effort. Sincerely.”

Edward and Maureen S.
client’s parents

“I highly recommend attorney Philip L. Arnel. I was faced with an restraining order, filled with false statements and accusations of threatened violence. Phil immediately took an interest in my case and worked with me to disprove each and every one of the accusations, showing that no threats were ever made. We found the proof that was needed to vacate the prior order, despite her attempts to extend it. In my opinion, Mr. Arnel went above and beyond to represent me in this matter.”

Roger C.

“Thank you Phil !!! This was a tough time for us and you were AWESOME! Thanks again.”

Peter M.
client’s father

“I am so glad that I hired Phil to represent me in an auto insurance fraud case which I was falsely accused. Upon talking to him he immediately went into action reviewing the details of the reports and quickly ascertained that the charges were ridiculous, and immediately went to work in my defense. It is very clear to me that Phil is very well respected by all court personnel, very knowledgeable, and was able pre-negotiate a dismissal with the District Attorney! I would highly recommend Phil without any hesitation!”

Michael F.

Brandi H.

He is the most thorough person I’ve ever met, even following through with every single important date that pertained to my doctor appointments. 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.”

Prashanth G.

“Within 96 hours Attorney Arnel was successful in winning a criminal case and vacating a restraining order against me. Mr. Arnel was compassionate towards me, embracing me and all legal aspects professionally and thoroughly. Because of Mr. Arnel’s beliefs, values, and passion for both justice & humanity, justice was served and for that, I am forever grateful.”

Kelley D.
client

“My friend has been targeted by a sociopath whose agenda has been to jam her up in various courts, destroy her financially, and wreak havoc on her professional and personal life. In the midst of this trauma, she found Attorney Arnel. I can’t thank him enough for giving her the support and validation she needed during a time where she felt hopeless. The commitment and passion he poured into her case, in just a couple of days, restored her faith, not only in the system, but also in humanity.”

Lydia S.
juvenile client’s mother

“I was involved in a car accident and was referred to Phil Arnel by a friend. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I never had to meet with a lawyer for any reason. First day meeting with Phil felt like I knew him for years, very professional, very thorough. He gives you answers straight up, which I greatly appreciated. Will recommend him to all family and friends.”

Derek A.
client

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.

Denise S.

“I had several dismissed cases that needed to be sealed, and Phil was able to have all cases sealed and my FBI report updated within a short period of time. He ensured I was completely informed throughout the process, and accurately answered any questions I had, ensuring that he was getting the best results for me possible under Massachusetts law. My personal effort required in this endeavor was minimal, and Phil was able to accomplish everything I needed for a fraction of the price that other lawyers had quoted me for. I would highly recommend Phil to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Tyler R.
client

“Attorney Arnel is a life saver. I have an obnoxious neighbor who has been trying to make my life miserable ever since I reported that her son is a bully. She applied for a restraining order against me and based her application on nonsense and lies. I had two business days to find an attorney. I was fortunate to see Mr. Arnel’s name online and make my phone call to him. He is professional, genuine, reassuring, and above all, an expert in his line of work. He made himself available at short notice for my hearing. He prepared me in detail for how the court proceedings would take place. He took my phone call over the weekend when I was anxious and had many questions. He ripped my neighbor to shreds with his line of questioning when she took the stand. In short, this guy is the one to call when you are in need of an excellent lawyer.”

Charlotte M.
client

“Thank you Phil for taking my case on such short notice and proving that not all attorneys are bad or are out to break the bank. I trusted you immediately because you are so professional. Take care of those dogs. Maybe I’ll bump into you someday at a dog park.”

Trudy S.
client

“I had a great experience working with attorney Philip L. Arnel. He took my case seriously and fought to get me results. Philip is a very methodical and professional lawyer who has a strong background in his matter. He was easy to work with given our busy schedules. Attorney Philip made the process very easy by being flexible with coordinating meeting times. Philip and I were able to communicate via text, email, and phone call. Attorney Philip Arnel built trust with me and I valued the advice given which solved the case. Overall, I would say that I was very happy with attorney Arnel’s service provided and would be glad hiring him again.”

Demetrio L
client

“I have been going through a divorce where my ex attempted to use a 209A [restraining order] as a tool for leverage in our custody proceedings. Attorney Arnel was extremely professional and walked me through the process. Even with the added complication of Covid-19 forcing the hearing to take place via conference call, Attorney Arnel was able to show that the 209A was not legitimate and it was terminated. I couldn’t be more pleased with the representation I received and will recommend him to everyone I know!”

Brent D.
client

“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.
client

“I can say without reservation that Atty. Philip Arnel is an excellent attorney who is truly on your side. A few years ago I had a neighbor who wanted to use a Protective Order to move me out of my apartment unjustifiably. Atty. Arnel handled this issue exceptionally well. He showed that the party had no basis for the action. Application denied for any Protective Order. Don’t think innocent people don’t get charged with unfair, unjust orders; they do all too many times unfortunately.”

Philip R.

“Phil is the best. He is knowledgeable and put my mind at ease. I highly recommend him.”

Kristy S.
client

“Phil was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I had spoken to a few other lawyers in the past to try and get this issue resolved, only to be discouraged with their lack of knowledge. The confidence I sensed from Phil during our initial conversation told me I had found the right lawyer. Phil won my case with ease. 100% would recommend.”

Joshua T.

“Great attorney. Very knowledgeable. If you need any records sealed in Massachusetts, both your CORI and FBI record, Phil is the attorney for the job. Always answered us and very professional.”

Brigid G.
wife of client

“Phil was able to seal several matters from my past including a recent expungement of a single conviction with remaining charges on record. He was able to have an FBI report updated that no other attorney could help me with. I was amazed at how fast and responsive he was as well as how quickly he was able to get results for me. Every action he needed from me was well documented with thorough instructions and he answered every question I could possibly have. I could not be happier with the results he provided me and will most certainly be hiring Phil for any future legal needs.”

Charles (“Chuck”) M.
client

“Working with Phil has been a great experience, he has handled two auto accidents for me and right from the very moment I contacted him till we settled the case he was on everything, from the towing of the car, hospital, xrays, MRI’s, catscans, physical therapy, etc., he even texted me the day before each appointment to remind me it was coming up! Phil is a very attention to detail attorney, be prepared for him to be on top of every little detail of the case, which he will explain the importance of why it is necessary, he worked tirelessly on my cases to get me compensated for the maximin amount which helped turn a bad situation into a feel good at the end! I would call Phil in a moment!”

Michael F.
client

“I had a very traumatic car accident last year [2020]. I contacted a close friend who referred me to Philip L. Arnel and I am so grateful she did that. It was the best decision I’ve made hiring Mr. Arnel as my lawyer! He responds so quickly, very knowledgeable, trust worthy, easy to talk to, and thorough. He always informed me through the entire process. He not only won my case but fought for me to get the MOST COMPENSATION!! 5 figures!! I mean wow! I will only be using Phil from now on!”

Christiane B.
client

“Phillip L. Arnel is the best!!! Settled my case within a year. After being in my first auto accident and unsure of what to do, I was referred to Phillip Arnel by a good friend that knew how well he represented his clients. From the initial meeting and throughout the whole process I was able to focus on my recovery and was updated with legal and financial end. Phillip L. Arnel went above and beyond to insure I received the best settlement.”

Frederick R.

“He provided all he said he would and was very patient. The case was an old one and he walked me though the process. He made the experience much less painful.”

Miguel M.
client

“Phil Arnel helped me to seal my FBI record which was marred after a mentally-ill ex falsely accused me of a crime. He provided me an initial consult which was direct and pressure-free, truly helping me to understand the relevant legal issues prior to moving to the next step. Once I retained his services Phil worked amazingly quickly, keeping me informed at every step of the process. He was always responsive and available to answer my questions along the way. In the end my record was sealed and I could not have been happier with the process. Phil is hardworking, knowledgeable and honest and I would recommend him in strongest possible terms.”

Brian T.

“Phil helped me out in a pinch, was able to immediately walk me through what I was dealing with and all the possible outcomes without overdoing it. Got me through it!”

Henry H.
client

“I sought Phil’s legal services to represent my son who like many young adults, acts without thinking that his actions may lead to serious consequences. Before going to court, Phil told my son the seriousness of his actions and the legal issues he was facing. And once in court, Phil represented my son extremely well due to his vast legal knowledge and experience.”

Robin W.
client’s mother

“Dear Mr. Arnel – I hope all is well, and that you’re continuing to help the public remain free from background entries that persist despite laws to suppress them. I wanted to thank you again for the great [FBI record] work you’ve done on my behalf. I should also note that I have completed three separate background checks for employment since your work on my behalf in Nov 2020. These were all preemployment checks that were completed online and occurred in Feb 2021, July 2021, and August 2021. None of these returned any records, so hopefully this is a good sign.”

Christopher M.
client

“After my first conversation with Attorney Philip L. Arnel regarding updating and sealing my CORI and FBI criminal records, I knew he was the right attorney to hire for the job because of his extensive experience in this particular area of law and his expert understanding of the entire process. Attorney Philip Arnel succeeded in updating and sealing my criminal records and was professional, direct, and honest from start to finish. I would highly recommend Attorney Philip Arnel to anyone looking to do this type of record work.”

James R.

“Phil is a great attorney. He is knowledgeable, organized, punctual and I would recommend him as a lawyer!”

Raffaele B.
client

“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.
client

“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.”

Kayla K.
client

“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.
client

“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.”

Leah R.
client

“Hey Phil, You sealed a record for me a long time ago. I just wanted to say hi. I have changed my email and phone several times so no longer had your details. Good website you have there. You were a Godsend at a difficult time as I am sure you have been for many of your clients, and always respectful and to the point.”

E. Kelly
client

“Attorney Arnel was a HUGE help in helping me get my past records sealed. He is very thorough and makes sure the FBI has done its part. I can’t say enough of how much he was compassionate and communicative throughout the whole process. He really does care about getting his clients the representation they deserve … Thanks again Phil!!!”

Kelsey C.
client

“We both want to thank you very much for your help with my husband’s case. We were both so relieved with the recent outcome.”

Carola D.
client’s wife

“I was served with baseless Restraining Order and retained Phil. He was very professional; direct, clear, concise, and generous with his time, and was a much needed competent and strong ally in my corner to help ease my anxiety. Phil quickly identified in stream-line fashion what was required to successfully defend against this bogus 209A action. Phil is a physically fit, confident, intelligent, well-dressed, well-prepared, and experienced lawyer who gave me the confidence to fight back and prevail. He knows what to say and when to say it. We were victorious in a landslide and my accuser was at a loss for words. None of this would have happened without Phil’s expertise and counsel. He gave me the strength, knowledge, and peace of mind that only an experienced and tough lawyer could have done. I bless the day that Phil Arnel came into my life to right the injustice that was leveled on me. He gave me back my life and restored my calm. Thank you very much Phil Arnel for your dedication to your profession and for sticking up for me when I didn’t have a friend in the world!”

Jose C-P.
client

“My daughter required legal representation for both civil and criminal matters based on false allegations. Attorney Philip Arnel provided exactly what we needed. He helped to put us at ease throughout the long and agonizing processes. He took pains to wade through lots and lots of evidence. He was available for consultation and he strategically laid out my daughter’s case. He demonstrated a breadth of understanding and experience with the legal system and this type of case. We are forever grateful for his assistance in achieving her vindication.”

Judy J-R.
mother of client

“Philip Arnel is amazing attorney and expert at his craft. Don’t use anyone else! He does his homework and the restraining order my wife had on me was removed! Like a giant black cloud removed!!! My wife had got a restraining in order to gain a advantage in a divorce based on lies and false accusations! Attorney Arnel went thru the transcripts and found many discrepancies and lies to falsely obtain it. Great day in the court room. This guy is the best in the area; responsive, fair, honest. Go nowhere else!”

Darrell C.

“He worked on my case in an efficient way. Attorney Philip Arnel was always available to discuss the case. So knowledgeable and compassionate.”

Amir T.

“Phil helped guide us through the intimidating experience of being in court with confidence, compassion and decades of legal knowledge. He was always available to talk and communicated continually throughout the case. Phil is exceptional. I would recommend him 100%!”

Andrew and Annmarie T.
client’s parents

“I highly recommend hiring Phil Arnel as your attorney. My mother was summoned for a Magistrate Hearing following a bad car accident of which she was at fault. I sent a note to Phil through his website and he happened to be on vacation overseas but he called me back that same day to provide advice about her situation. He was extremely helpful right from the start and I knew that having him represent her would be really beneficial to her. On the day of the hearing, Phil defended my mother and was successful in keeping the criminal complaint from going to the next level. He had to negotiate on the spot since the complainant wanted the complaint to be issued. It was intense. They say that you don’t need a lawyer for a Magistrate hearing but we truly believe that the outcome for my mother would have been very different if we didn’t hire Phil. We are so thankful for his services!”

Thomas L.
client’s son

“Philip Arnel is someone you want in your corner. He worked hard to get my criminal issue resolved. Even though my issue was relatively small I felt like I was his only client. More importantly he knew the key people to reach out to get my issue resolved. It was great having him there at my probable cause hearing and he helped guide me through the process. Philip Arnel’s services are worth every penny.”

Andrew R.
client

“For all the right reasons, if you need an attorney, you need Phil. Whatever your situation, he will work to get you the results you need. Thank you Phil! We appreciate you!”

Joanna C.
client’s mother

“I needed my FBI records sealed fast. I did some research online and came across Phil’s website. After picking up the phone and talking to him, my records were officially sealed and updated within a week. He used his knowledge and professional connections to expedite the process. I would highly recommend Phil for his efficient and thorough work!”

Andrew F.
client

“Phil is the only lawyer out of the three previous [very expensive] lawyers that understood what we wanted in our very complex child custody case and advised which lawyer to go to. He did this with two brief phone calls. The three previous lawyers took our money and ran. He is exceptionally honest and knows his area of expertise better than anybody. He also knows most of the lawyers in the Boston area and what they can do. If you have a tough problem in his area of criminal law, he can solve it.”

Frank G.
appreciative caller

“Was very satisfied being represented by Phil. Was very knowledgeable and educated me about the whole process. Phil was able to get case dismissed before going to trial.”

Joshua C.
client

“Needed a lawyer for an expungement matter. Phil’s experience and knowledge of the inner workings of the court system was a godsend. Phil kept us informed of every step in the process. He was very accessible via phone or text. I have used other lawyers in the past but none of them have come close to the personal attention Phil puts into his work. I would highly recommend Atty Arnel for any legal issue.”

Andrew S.
client’s father

“This guy is the real deal. If you ever need your CORI sealed Phil is your man! He will handle your court issues and help you along the way. Very professional and would definitely suggest him. He was able to get everything done as he promised.”

Michael H.
client

“Attorney Phil Arnel, with the win, I went to him in a panic as an ex-girlfriend filed a restraining order against me with a lot of false allegations that made me look like the worst human on earth. Phil went in with a game plan and attacked her in every way possible with all the evidence I provided him with and we came out with a win. When you call Phil, he answers the phone, you will not be talking to the phone operator. He will call you with a game plan, very professional and tell you what you are up against. Phil attacked my ex- girlfriend in every way possible and showed the judge she was plotting on trying to end my career as a police officer and he did not extend the restraining order and I was relieved and the truth came out. He knew it was going to be a hard case to beat but we did it. I would recommend Phil to anyone needing to fight a restraining order.”

Hamilton A.
client

“Mr. Arnel is an excellent attorney. He represented me at a Magistrate Hearing and provided me with an incredible criminal defense. He is great council, and is very nice to work with. He cares about his clients. He’s also the first attorney to expunge a 209A Order in Massachusetts. Phil provided me with excellent representation and I couldn’t be more thankful. He dismantled all of my accuser’s lies. If you’re dealing with something as sensitive as a Magistrate Hearing or a 209A Order, I highly recommend you go with Phil Arnel.”

Alexander R.
client

“When I was experiencing extreme doubts of the legal system, Phillip Arnel did an amazing job of helping me and my case. He not only explained what the process of the legal system is, he was an absolute great support system in each step of the legality of the case. He cared about what case my was, made sure there was clear communication, and guaranteed preparation beforehand. I do not think I could have made it through facing the legal system without the support of Philip Arnel.”

Madeline (“Maddie”) M.
client

“Attorney Arnel represented me in the filing of motions to seal both my Massachusetts CORI and my FBI arrest record. From day one, Attorney Arnel was transparent about his level of experience as well as his expertise regarding the process of having criminal records sealed. It should be noted that Attorney Arnel is the only lawyer in Massachusetts who seals FBI records, and he even serves clients in other states who are looking to do the same. It was news to me that FBI records not only have to be sealed but updated in the system. Attorney Arnel handles both processes and he does so with a deep level of understanding and success. In my instance, having both my Massachusetts CORI and my FBI criminal records sealed is imperative to my being able to obtain employment in my field. Attorney Arnel brought a sense of urgency to my case that is second to none and his level of communication was excellent throughout every step of the process. He is organized and efficient in how he operates, and I felt confident with having him represent me at my court hearing. Attorney Arnel was successfully able to seal both my state and federal criminal records and I am very grateful to have had him as my attorney. If I ever need legal representation in the future, I will certainly go back to him in a heartbeat.”

Nathaniel M.
client

“Phil is a true professional and does 100% justice to his profession. I live on the West Coast, was served with a 209A restraining order, and had to attend the initial two-party hearing. I worried about the outcome and its consequences. We had multiple phone conversations and Phil guided me to get what was needed, identified important points, and collected evidence and exhibits in his thorough preparation for the hearing. Phil asks the right questions and gathers information with a focus in the right direction. He handled my case extremely well and made it easy to get the restraining order promptly terminated, saving me from having to fly back to Massachusetts again. Phil is highly experienced and shows a passion with great acumen in representing his clients and winning cases.”

Ankineedu B.
client

“I recently had the privilege of working with Mr. Arnel who skillfully won my restraining order case. From my first consultation to the final verdict his focus on relevant facts along with a streamlined and solid approach left a lasting impression on me. It was evident that Philip possessed an in-depth understanding of the legal intricacies surrounding the case. His ability to separate the essential from the irrelevant allowed him to build a compelling argument with an impressive streamlined approach. Philip knew how to navigate the argument efficiently, eliminating any unnecessary complexities. Throughout the entire process, Philip displayed an unparalleled level of dedication, responding to my concerns and ensuring that I was well-informed at every step, alleviating any anxiety I had. I wholeheartedly recommend Philip for assured highest level of legal representation.”

Ahmed Z.
client

“Phil is awesome at record sealing. He did the FBI record for me and I honestly feel like he’s the best in the state. Don’t bother with anyone else. Phil even updated the record.”

Bernard A.
client

“Phillip was a straight shooter and extremely detail oriented. He thought of things that never crossed my mind and prepared me for every sort of possible situation we might face in court. I was terrified after having a malicious 258E filed against me but Phillip worked diligently on my behalf and his hard work paid off. His argument made it clear that the accuser’s case fell flat and the judge didn’t even feel it necessary for any cross-examination or for me to even testify myself, which was a major relief as I was the most nervous I had ever been in my life. I HIGHLY recommend Phillip as a lawyer and would trust him with any legal concerns.”

Mackenzie D.

F.C.
client

“A night out without our children ended up becoming a living nightmare ending in one of us being falsely arrested for domestic violence. Our livelihood hung over our heads pending the outcome of the case. From the initial conversation with Phil it was clear that he was the right man for the job. He expertly guided us through the maze of dealing with a broken legal system that tries to force people into entering pleas despite being innocent. His years of practicing in all corners of Mass were incredibly important as he knew all of the buttons to push and people to speak with and as a result we quickly got the resolution we wanted, a dismissal. Phil is a skilled attorney that understands the human element to applying the law. He was compassionate to our concerns, always available, a cunning tactician, and we highly recommend. Phil understands how to sprinkle in just the right amount of humor to ease the pressures and anxieties of the case while staying focused on the tasks at hand.”

“Attorney Arnel managed the emotionally charged process of a false TRO with compassionate but firm advice to focus on the legal elements of the matter and the defenses to same. Very responsive 24/7, via telephone and text, due to the urgency associated with these matters being heard within 10 days. Aggressively defended me in court, entered all exculpatory evidence into the record and properly objected when applicable.”

“I would like to recommend Philip Arnel as a great lawyer for a 209A case. I had a case on me for over 20 years that I did not know existed until a background check was done on me. I contacted Mr. Arnel and explained my situation and he said he would take it. I proceeded with it and in the first session court appearance he won the case for me. I’m happy with the outcome and again for anyone with a 209A case against them no matter how old it’s been, he is the correct lawyer for resolving the issue. Yours truly…”

Anibal P.

Cristin C.

“I found Philip Arnel online through research on sealing my record from many years ago that was just waiting to haunt me again in the future. Philip was very open and honest about the process and kept me informed as events unfolded. He was able to have my state and FBI records sealed in order to ensure they would not negatively affect me in any future employment endeavors. Philip went above and beyond when it came to working with me even though my schedule can become extremely hectic at times. His goal was a complete and thorough job and that is exactly what he delivered.”

Matthew G.
client

“Given limited information about my ancient case, Mr. Arnel was able to do the research, identify a solution, and get the case dismissed. Great communication on resolution strategies and in-depth knowledge of the personalities involved assisted greatly in getting this resolved quickly. In addition, the innovative cost structure for fees helped align incentives away from purely billable hours and towards the best outcome as quickly as possible. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Arnel for any case in the future!”

Dennis W.

“Recently, Philip Arnel, helped me to resolve a difficult legal issue. Working with him over a period of about 3 months led to a successful conclusion of this problem.

“I was referred to Attorney Philip Arnel by another attorney due to the specialized nature of my legal problem and needs. Despite being out of state in the middle of personal matters, Atty. Arnel returned my message right away and stayed in daily contact with me via email, texts, and direct phone calls throughout the case. I was on a tight deadline and Atty. Arnel fixed my problem in just a few days. Atty. Arnel worked throughout the weekend and a Monday holiday and provided the help and relief I needed in just a few days. He did everything he said he would do, and he did it at an extremely expedited pace. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal advice/help with no hesitation.”

“Phillip Arnel is old school in the best possible way. I’m not even a paying client yet, but I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with him, and he was invaluable in providing information on the machinations of the local courts and FBI background checks. I am prompted to write this review in part because I thoroughly appreciate his taking time, whilst in the middle of a visit with his family, to speak with me over the phone regarding a relatively minor issue. To be honest, my review stems more from the fact that he extended this courtesy to me, more so than anything concerning law. Now, concerning law, you might consider him an “attorney’s attorney.” As someone who appreciates dedication to craft, I was genuinely impressed with his accomplishments. This review might sound over the top, but Arnel is over the top. I suspect watching him go to work in the courtroom would be a sight to behold. Legally beneficial, absolutely, but with this sort of person you may more so find yourself walking away both educated and entertained. And that might be worth the price of admission. He just seems like a good person, whether or not I proceed to retain legal services, you might consider this a “review of the person.” Check out his other reviews, they aren’t kidding. Somebody in another review said he treats his clients like family … maybe I’m misremembering that, but either way, that was my impression after talking to him on the phone. He’s a real Bostonian too, if you dig that. For the record, my legal enquiry was concerning the sealing or expungement of FBI criminal history background check (Rap Sheet or IdHS). He is a subject matter expert on this particular topic, nationwide. What can I say, I like the guy and appreciated his help!”

“Mr. Arnel helped me with a magistrate case that I had to deal with when I had an incident out of town in Boston.  I was very fortunate to find him out of Sherlock, but I found him by reading reviews like the one I am leaving right now.  He is an amazing attorney and helped me out tremendously.  He was extremely knowledgeable in my situation and extremely reasonable on how much he charged me for my particular situation.  I highly recommend using him for any civil or criminal proceedings that you may find yourself needing in the court system.”

“Hi Phil.  You saved my life three years ago.  I was wrought with anxiety, and you kept me strong.  You could have easily cast me aside.  I’ve had no problems getting my state OT licenses in Massachusetts renewed.  I applied for my store occupational therapy license, had background checks, and no problem.  I was able to get my license to practice OT in New Hampshire.  It was like a sporting event that day in court.  We shut her down and rightly so.  She lied, fabricated, and exaggerated.  You worked with my anxious mind and I’m forever in your debt.  I’m doing fine now and out of a period of tremendous stress due to a series of bad life decisions.  I thank you whole heartedly.”

Judith O.

“Phil Arnel took my husband’s case when no other lawyer would.  My husband had functioned as his own lawyer, and as a result was convicted of two non-violent crimes.  When he accidentally violated his probation, he finally agreed to have a lawyer.  Thank God for Attorney Arnel.  My 78-year-old husband could have gone to prison, but instead he only got his probation extended and a fine.  Attorney Arnel truly cares about his clients, even the difficult ones (like my husband).  He’s passionate and truly knowledgeable.  He understands the subtleties of the court system.  He argued brilliantly in court for my husband in front of a difficult judge.  I wish we had hired him at the beginning.  If so, my husband wouldn’t be a convicted felon.”

Linda K.
client’s wife

“I had the privilege of working with Philip Arnel as my attorney, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.  From the moment I contacted his office, he demonstrated exceptional responsiveness.  Even while he was abroad, he called me back promptly to gather initial details about my case.  Later, despite being hospitalized for a few days, he kept me updated consistently via text messages and emails, ensuring I was never left in the dark.  Philip’s proactive approach was a game-changer.  He immediately established communication with the police department and worked diligently to reach an acceptable resolution before my hearing, showcasing his strategy of tackling cases early with a clear goal in mind.  His experience shone through, as he leveraged his extensive network of personal connections within the court system to navigate the process smoothly.  Overall, Philip is incredibly responsive, engages with cases proactively, and excels at negotiating favorable outcomes—while being fully prepared to litigate if needed.  His deep experience and dedication made all the difference in my case, and I’m grateful for his support.”

“I am honored to offer my highest recommendation of Phil. His exceptional attention to detail, unwavering dedication, and profound expertise in navigating the legal system distinguished him throughout my case. With decades of experience, he possesses a comprehensive mastery of legal procedure. As a fellow professional, I was confronted with false allegations. From our very first interaction, Phil provided reassurance and steadfast support, addressing my concerns and anxieties with patience and empathy. He consistently exceeded expectations—even in situations where he was under no obligation to do so. For this, I owe him immense gratitude. During some of the most difficult moments of my life, Phil guided me with firmness, compassion, and a considerate sense of humor when appropriate—all of which sustained me through uncertainty. Before selecting legal counsel, I conducted thorough research and consulted numerous attorneys; I count myself fortunate and deeply blessed that I entrusted my case to Phil. I write seldom with such praise, but Phil is truly a rare professional of extraordinary integrity and skill. I urge you to contact him. You will not be disappointed.”

“I cannot express enough gratitude for Attorney Phil Arnel and the truly life-changing work he has done for me. He worked an absolute miracle in court, updating and sealing my entire criminal record of 33 charges at once, as well as updating and sealing my entire FBI arrest record! These criminal charges had built up over years of addiction and disordered mental health. Now, thanks be to God, after more than 10 years being recovered from that hopeless state of mind and body and having completely amended my life, Phil told me he wanted to help restore my past and clear it up.

I would not have been able to do this without his knowledge and help. I now understand how much of an investment this was in myself and has granted me the ability to not be burdened by my past so I can now build my family and future without worry of it sneaking back up to cause a disturbance! He followed through on that promise with compassion, dedication, and unmatched skill! He even kept my file open until I could gather the necessary finances and still gave me an incredible deal for the work he did. He completed everything efficiently and thoroughly, keeping me informed of every step along the way. His communication, professionalism, and mastery of this area of law are second to none! I truly believe Attorney Phil Arnel is the best lawyer in the country for this kind of work and you will not find it anywhere else. I am beyond grateful that God brought him into my life and thankful for the purposeful work he does to help those most in need of restoration and a second chance to regain their standing in society.

“Attorney Philip Arnel recently provided extremely professional and competent legal representation relating to a civil matter in Boston, which I had previously and unsuccessfully attempted to resolve without an attorney. Prior to the most recent hearing, which had a positive outcome, Attorney Arnel provided extremely helpful advice to me concerning appropriate courtroom attire and demeanor. With respect to the quality of his work product, he provided sound a legal argument to support a ruling by the Court that the opposing party’s request should not be granted with which the Court agreed. Based on this experience, it is my opinion that Attorney Arnel is a highly experienced attorney and provides excellent legal representation.”
