Larry Arnkoff was assigned to my case by the Chief Judge after another attorney abandoned me while I was appealing my case to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. I am hoping to set aside my guilty plea and conviction. He has revived my case and placed it back on solid legal footing. Larry is a creative thinker. My case is a difficult one and he is thinking out of the box to help me find a favorable resolution. He is well respected by the U.S. Attorney's Office and that benefits me as his client. Larry is truly a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you, Larry, for your efforts and interest in my case.

Larry worked with my father for several years on a serious federal criminal case. Larry worked hard to help my father and our family with this matter. Even after the case was done Larry even reached out to check on our family. He was highly professional and truly cared about the work he was doing!

Mr. Arnkoff represented me on serious federal cybercrime charges. This was the first time I had ever faced anything like this and from the beginning I was extremely nervous about possibly being sentenced to prison. Mr. Arnkoff went above and beyond, making it a point to communicate with me often and ease any anxiety or doubt I had about my upcoming charges. He is extremely well respected by the judges and others in the system. His knowledge and confidence helped make the process very smooth and got me the best results I could have asked for, a probationary sentence. I now have high hopes for the future. I would highly recommend Mr. Arnkoff

Excellent Federal Criminal Attorney:
Larry was referred to me by an attorney who did not practice in federal court. At the time I was concerned that an ATF investigation might lead to criminal charges so I really needed an experienced federal criminal lawyer to help advise me. I had never been in trouble before so I was very concerned how things might turn out. For more than a year Larry helped guide me through the investigatory phase. He assured me that he could find a positive resolution despite the seriousness of the matter. He used a proactive approach to push towards that positive resolution. His experience and credibility with the U.S. Attorney’s Office allowed him to negotiate a settlement for me that resulted in a probationary sentence of one year. He always kept me advised of the status of the case and was generous with his time. When he told me something, it happened. He told me I could appear in court without being arrested. He told me I could remain on pre-trial release while the case was pending. He told me he could work out an agreed sentence recommendation to probation rather than prison. He made all that happen for me. Whether it was speaking to the Judge or the Assistant U.S. Attorney Larry was always prepared and confident. My case result could have gone in a lot of different directions with a less experienced attorney. Larry made sure that didn’t happen and I credit him for that. I would recommend him to anyone facing serious federal criminal charges.

I would highly recommend Mr. Arnkoff for anyone looking for a criminal defense lawyer. I was being represented by another attorney in Williamson County who advised me the best plea offer I would get would send me to jail , give me a felony conviction, and have me pay over $30,000 in restitution. I was upset and scared so I did some research and found Mr. Arnkoff online. His experience and confidence were apparent at my first meeting with him.He always kept me informed and returned my calls promptly. His fees are fair and he worked with me on a payment schedule. He was able to negotiate a diversion for me with no jail time, no conviction, and less than $500 in restitution.

Larry Arnkoff was friendly and very personable from the moment we met him in his office. Larry treated our case like his first and only. He pulled out all the stops and goes. He worked tirelessly on our son’s case. He had an associate named Bill. Later I found out his last name, Shockley. Protocol was not the issue but professionalism was the order of the day. Larry and Bill are a team to be reckoned with. I would recommend Mr. Lawrence Arnkoff to anyone who wants to be treated fair and just. In times of trouble you need knowledge and wisdom as tools for success. Larry has both. It’s never his first rodeo. He has a track record of working hard and working harder when he has too. He was not just a lawyer in the courtroom but a friend and parent outside the courtroom. He listens and he cares.

My son was convicted of a very serious drug crime in federal court. Mr.Arnkoff fought hard for him .The government wouldn't file a waiver of the mandatory 10 year sentence he was facing. Mr. Arnkoff always knew the Judge would have given him a lesser sentence if she could have and he was very upset with the government lawyer. My son has now spent almost 5 years in custody. Recently Mr. Arnkoff contacted me about filing a petition for my son's release due to health and Covid.He told me the Judge was no longer bound by the 10 year sentence and she would most likely reduce his sentence. He put everything in motion and brought in his friend Attorney Michael Holley.The Judge agreed with them that my son deserved to be released and he will be returning home in a few weeks. I can't thank Mr.Arnkoff and Mr.Holley enough for their efforts on behalf of my son .

Mr. Arnkoff represented my brother-in-law on federal homicide charges. This was a very emotional case for the community. The penalty was mandatory life in prison and Mr. Arnkoff was able to negotiate a waiver of the mandatory punishment. The Government recommended a sentence of 25 years. After a very lengthy sentencing hearing the Judge leaned heavily towards Mr. Arnkoff’s arguments and imposed a sentence of 13 years. He was extremely prepared and it was obvious the judge had a lot of respect for him. My family would recommend Mr. Arnkoff for anyone in need of a federal criminal defense lawyer. He communicates well. He returns calls promptly. He is very knowledgeable in the law. He gave my brother-in-law and my family hope for the future. He never stopped encouraging my brother-in-law and I suspect he will continue to follow his progress long after the case is over.

Mr. Arnkoff represented me on federal drug charges. The case lasted several years but recently he called me with the best news possible- my case had been dismissed. That is rare in federal court. I could have gone to prison and had a felony conviction but he never stopped working towards a dismissal no matter what the government told him. He was available when I had questions and when there was a lull in the case he would call me to bring me up to date. His determination and creativity made this happen for me. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a federal criminal defense attorney.

Mr. Arnkoff represented me in a federal drug conspiracy several years ago and not only did he represent me in a way no other lawyer ever has, he also helped get me the shortest sentence possible due to my situation and I was beyond grateful as well as impressed; so when it was time for me to hire representation for my motion of early termination of my supervised release I didn’t hesitate to hire him again. The federal system isn’t an easy system to deal with but it helps to have someone that has your best interest at heart and goes the extra mile to make sure you have as fair a shot as you possibly can have and Larry Arnkoff does just that.

Larry represented me in a white collar federal case. His communication with me was excellent. His legal skills and knowledge of federal law were great. There was nothing that came up in my case he couldn't answer. His fees were fair and reasonable. He helped me obtain the best result possible. The court and the government had the utmost respect for him. I would recommend Mr. Arnkoff to anyone looking for counsel in a federal criminal case.

From the beginning to end, when the Federal Government started investigating us (5 years to indictment and 5 years to sentencing) , Larry always provided me a sense of comfort and confidence, knowing that he had the knowledge and communication skills needed to process my case through to the end. This was a very complex case involving the FDA and the Big Pharma companies. Although we hoped, from the beginning that we could fight the charges and avoid any prison time, that did not happen. It was disappointing that we had to accept the plea deal, but it was with confidence and understanding that we made the absolute right decision. Larry was there every step of the way over the years. He was responsive and engaged more than the the most expensive, highly touted lawyers in the USA that I could have hired. Due to his ability to negotiate with the US Attorneys office and ultimately even after serving only 20 months of a 72 month sentence at a Federal Prison he still was there for me in 2020 when Covid 19 broke. At that point he was no longer retained but still provided my appointed Counsel with the information and background necessary to file a petition for compassionate release. Thanks to Larry and attorney Mike Holley I am now on supervised release.

I was facing a serious investigation by the FBI for possible involvement in a fraud and money laundering scheme. At that time, I was not sure what to do so I started searching through the internet for a lawyer expert in federal criminal cases. When I found Larry's profile, I was impressed about his experience as well as the positive comments made by other clients, so I called in his office and ended up in hiring him after I had an insightful conversation with him. I gotta tell you that I absolutely made the right choice! Larry was an active listener who quickly understood my position in the case and he was able to make a good initial assessment for my situation. Larry began providing potential solutions based on his vast knowledge in the legal system of similar cases. Larry walked with me every step of the way during the investigation for the best outcome. Over a year and half, Larry constantly stayed in touch with me to genuinely keep me informed about the progress in my case and clearly answered all my questions. His excellent communication was a key to help me know what was going on. In addition, his fees were quite reasonable for the amount of care and insight that kept me stay on top of things at all the times. In the end, my case resulted in non-prosecution agreement and a financial settlement. I am truly thankful for Larry' service and I highly recommend him for anyone facing serious legal complications. Thank you Larry for the great work.

I was facing felony charges that most likely would have prevented me from obtaining my citizenship. Larry used his experience and confidence to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the charges. I never had a problem communicating with him and his fees were very reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Mr. Arnkoff recently defended my son in a case involving several juveniles and adults. He walked us through a very tense period of our lives and kept us informed and calm throughout the process. He was reassuring, confident and extremely effective and in the end, he saw that my son was cleared of all charges. The combination of his vast experience, seasoning and personal attention make him very effective and great to work with. My entire family is grateful to have had Mr. Arnkoff represent us.

When we asked Mr. Arnkoff to help us with our legal problem, he noted that he did not usually take a small case like ours--it was not a federal crime and he had not worked in the county where our son was held. However, he gave us a very fair rate and took the time to learn about the locals so he could best represent our son's interests. I live in another state, but he kept us apprised every step of the way. He smoothed out a process that could have been very painful. He was honest and very clear about the process and prospects. And he got the best possible outcome for my son. I am very thankful for his services.

I was facing very serious federal drug, guns and money laundering charges. Larry was chosen from a special group of private lawyers by the Court to represent me. My family initially spoke to several other private lawyers but Larry had more experience and confidence than any of them. I made the right decision keeping Larry as my attorney. He has the respect of the U.S. Attorneys and the Judges. He fought hard for me for more than three years going above and beyond what the other lawyers in the case were doing for their clients. Larry always kept me and my family advised of what was going on in the case. He always returned calls promptly to my family and he visited me often. I was facing life in prison but through Larry’s experience, determination and negotiating skills he eventually got me a 65% sentence reduction from the sentencing guidelines. I would recommend Larry for anyone facing serious criminal charges.

I was arrested and indicted for a federal immigration crime in Nashville. Larry brought in his partner and his team of investigators who were very nice and pleasant to deal with. I never felt alone and always felt cared for and protected knowing that Larry and his team were fighting for me. Larry and his team are very experienced federal criminal attorneys. We went to trial and I was found not guilty. I was cleared of all criminal charges and released to immigration. Instead of getting deported I was able to return to my family in California. I am very thankful for all the support and very grateful for the amazing great and hard work he put into my case. He is the best attorney in the world. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent criminal defense attorney.

Federal Grand Jury Target- No Prosecution –No Deportation

In June of 2016 I received a grand jury target letter from the United States Attorney's Office advising me I was under investigation for bankruptcy fraud. At the time I could not afford to hire a federal criminal defense attorney and fortunately for me the Court appointed Larry from a special experienced panel of private federal criminal defense attorneys. The prosecutor was very confident that I had committed the offense at the outset. I was facing the possibility of prison and deportation. Larry’s extensive research and investigation got him the ammunition to convince the prosecutor there was insufficient evidence to seek an Indictment. It was a great relief. I am very grateful for his efforts on my behalf. He is confident, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!!

I came to know Larry Arnkoff under the circumstances that we all hope to NOT encounter one day - needing legal representation. Larry was very pleasant to deal with and his vast knowledge of the legal system was an added bonus! My husband and I came in contact with Larry when my husband was slammed with some serious charges out of Nashville, TN. In fact, it was a very serious federal heroin case. Larry quickly assessed the situation and immediately began to offer solutions. My husband was facing 33 years in jail but Larry assured me that he could get my husband a lighter sentence. After months of preparation, phone calls, gathering evidence and speaking to other resources within the justice department, Larry was able to pull a rabbit out of his hat. My husband is detained now, and has been for 2.5 years now. The courts had no desire at all to speed up his case. We just came from court in Feb 2017 where the decision was made to settle for time lesser than 33 years. He received 3 years and 5 months and with time served compensated, I can expect to see my husband by the summer of 2018 vs. 2045. Because Larry rallied family members together, provided proof of stability outside of jail and other pertinent information to aid the case, my husband will be able to start fresh soon. I owe it all to Larry. Thank you for your service and I would recommend you to anyone!
Matt- Williamson County Criminal- Aggravated Assault

I hired Larry to represent me after I had been convicted by a Williamson County Jury of Aggravated Assault. My first lawyer mishandled my case to the point where I was unnecessarily facing a significant prison sentence. Going to prison would have been a terrible hardship for my family. Changing lawyers was a wise decision. I went from having an unprofessional and unprepared lawyer who I rarely saw or heard from to Larry who is a tremendous communicator and extremely experienced. His preparation for my sentencing hearing was very impressive as was his presentation to the Court on my
