I was recently charged with a DUI in Maryland. My questions and concerns were heightened even more, as I am an out of state resident (WV), and did not know what to do. Mr. Phillips is excellent. I was able to pay a $300 fine and complete online courses, thus, not serving anytime in jail. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. All around professional, caring, accessible and informative.

After being charged with a boating under the influence charge with a .07 breathalyzer reading, I was told by the magistrate I could face potential jail time. Hiring Arnie was the best thing I could have ever done! He worked tirelessly to find issues with the DNR's statement, the sobriety test results and the overall charges. Ultimately all charges were dropped! He truly works hard for his clients. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

I was charged with felonies and ended up with a minor traffic ticket. This man will fight for you tooth and nail. Would recommend to anyone that needs professional help!

Arnie is a very professional and personable lawyer and is more than fair. He takes the time to put actual effort into your case and works extremely proficiently. He is very kind, honest, and knowledgeable and diligenty works to get the best possible outcome. I highly reccomend Mr. Phillip's as a lawyer and would most certainly hire him again!

I had an out of state legal matter over 10yrs old (including warrants) that needed resolution, so needless to say I was terrfied. Not only was communication clear and fees fair, but thanks to Mr. Phillips council, the ruling turned out better than I could've imagined. He even assisted with paying the fine in person, due to living out of state. If you are in need of an understanding and excellent lawyer, Arnold Phillips is the one for the job.

I hired Arnold Phillips to defend me in a misdemeanor case. He and his paralegal staff were very supportive and responsive. He's a good strategist and has helpful relationships that he was able to tap into. Ultimately my case was dismissed and now he's helping me expunge it from my record. My wife and I highly recommend hiring him.

I had a court case in the small city of Cumberland, MD, from when I lived there and had moved to Texas. During that time, I missed a hearing and the mail didn’t transfer and a warrant was issued. Upon realizing this I went through the normal emotions of scared, upset, angry at myself and the system but mainly myself. I realized I was in a bad spot and needed someone who wasn’t just a “good ol boy” back in their club in Cumberland like 99.9% of their attorneys back there who hang out with the states prosecutors and judges, and take the easy route. After all, this was my life and my future at stake here. I CANNOT express to you how many “free consultations” I took advantage of from attorneys in Cumberland, all the way to Frederick, Baltimore, DC, etc. even those that said they “specialized in criminal, warrant, and probation, etc”. After calling no less than (no exaggeration here) 25-30 attorneys, I was ready to accept defeat and hire an attorney and face the music as this is what they all told me that I was guilty and the best they could do was argue my sentencing down as minimal as possible. I hopped on here and found Arnold Phillips out of Garrett County, MD. I decided it couldn’t hurt to make one last call, and this was the best call I’ve ever made in my life. Mr. Phillips was asking me questions during this consultation NO one else did, and suggested a path that wasn’t the least resistance but that would actually benefit me. There were lawyers that wouldn’t even return my calls that I almost hired numerous times who I guess just shrugged me off. NOT Phillips. When I tell you this man answered me day and night within minutes, I’m not kidding you. He probably got sick of me. And every time I lost confidence, he was there telling WE had this, not I. I really felt like it was both of us in this situation and I knew him for years (never met him previously as I lived in Texas). He had me get documents to support what I was saying and read them and even had me take out parts (told me he was paying a lot of attention). Finally, came the hearing. The states attorney wanted blood, as I was an out of towner and not part of their club. Phillips always remained calm and collected and reassured me, keep focusing on what I’ve done right. I’ve unfortunately had to hire 2 other lawyers in my lifetime. I’ve yet to see ANY attorney argue and present facts and data and be so well prepared and argumentative on someone’s behalf as he did for me. Even before my trial. I watched 7 other attorneys help their clients, and none of them went like mine did and I was facing significantly more consequences than these other ones. Mr. Phillips not ONLY got me out of what seemed like imminent incarceration, without a shadow of a doubt, but I got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. No fines, no probation extension, no community service, no jail time, no NOTHING. Not only did he erase my probation, they CLOSED IT that day. That wasn’t even an option according to EVERY single attorney I’ve ever talked to. He knows every single prosecutor, and judge, in this area, but he doesn’t use that to make a quick buck and get in and out of court, he used those relationships to MY advantage. No one in my family or friends could have expected this and I firmly believe had I hired anyone else, this would not have been the outcome, not even close. I owe the rest of my life forever grateful for having Phillips on my side. His retainer and fees were not only reasonable and fair and average, but what he did for me from the time I hired him until the hearing, (about 3-4 months), was worth at the very least thousands upon thousands of dollars if there’s even a price you could put on it. If you need any help, please for your own future, stop looking and call Mr. Phillips, and tell him you saw this review and the guy from Texas sent you! Let him send you home free!! P.S, this man even answered my questions on Thanksgiving when I only emailed him to ask to call me after Holiday

My son had a case against him in other state and away from home. At first, It was very difficult for us to decide to chose big city lawyers or local lawyers. I searched different lawyers from Mc Henry, Cumberland, Hagerstown, Frederick and all the way to Baltimore and talked with many lawyers. After talked with Arnold, I immediately felt comfortable and willing to give the case to Mr. Arnold. Mr. Arnold is very patient, experienced and knowledgeable. He was very helpful and resolved the case toward our satisfaction. I learned that his office is one of the biggest and best lawyer firms in Garret County. He and his office are definitely the best choice if you need a lawyer in local area.

My "case" was not a very big "case". I never went to court. However, the rates were reasonable for the work done. All my questions were answered. I was so impressed with the way Mr. Phillips handled a case of my friend's that I just had to have him look at a legal matter for us. This is how I came to use Mr.Phillips as a lawyer.

I was so impressed with the way Mr. Phillips handled a legal matter for one of my friends. I knew I had to hire him to look at a legal matter of my own. The rates for the work he did were reasonable. I appreciated that he explained everything very patiently. Thankful!

Mr. Phillips was helpful from the very first phone call. He explained everything thoroughly, always answered any questions I had, and was always available. He is very knowledgeable, reliable, fair, and goes out of his way to help. He was honest with all the facts and did all he could to make the court process as painless as possible for my son. He ended up not having to go to court. I don't know what I would have done without him and I highly recommend his services!

I've had the pleasure of working with Mr. Phillips on two occasions. I couldn't get him to commit to the case I wanted him to, but I'm sure he has legitimate reasoning for that decision. I'm extensively glad to have contact with Mr. Phillips. Thanks for reading.
