Thank god I got the pleasure of meeting Arun,Maini I was referred to him from a friend who had nothing but good things to say about him. I later thank them both. Arun is a very knowledgeable lawyer who looks out for the best outcome possible for his clients he is very honest he told me right from the beginning what he could do and what would be the final outcome. I was very scared/stressed as my charges were very serious. Arun did everything said he would and much more there was no surprises with costs or work I was totally satisfied with his work he provided me with the best service possible if I had questions I called text and e-mailed him and he always got back to me within the hour he was always the one waiting for me to get back to him very patiently. He always provided me with a lot of information and very well-detailed I highly recommend Arun,Maini for anyone looking for a good serious and professional lawyer I can’t thank him enough. Thank you once again Arun,Maini

Arun Maini has represented me twice now as legal counsel. Both times I have been more then satisfied with the outcome. He has extensive knowledge of the criminal law proceedings, and will make sure there are no surprises going into court. In my cases he was able to do this by reaching a joint agreement with the crown avoiding the possibility of trial altogether. In my most recent case he was able make an agreement with the crown prior to the negotiations stage of the court, saving me time and money avoiding a longer court case. He will always listen and pursue the outcome you seek in court, not what’s easiest. I have also herd story’s from friends of mine who sought for legal representation and got overcharged or promised results that were not achievable. This will not be the case if you hire Mr. Maini to represent you, he has a high level of integrity towards his clients which is evident in his work. I would highly recommend Arun Maini to anyone facing criminal charges.

I highly recommend Arun Maini! After meeting with many lawyers I chose to go with Arun. I’m very thankful that I chose him because he WON my case before it went to trial. He’s very professional and always responded to my calls and messages. He explained the breakdown of the case with great detail and provided support throughout the journey of the case. After winning the case he even took the time to follow up with me to see how my family and I were doing. I will forever be grateful for Arun’s genuine care, honesty and ambition to win a case. I wholeheartedly recommend Arun and I promise you will be very happy with his work ethics.

Arun is awesome. He does not sugar coat anything. He will explain the whole process in details and will describe the most likely outcome of the case. He has very high level of integrity and is always available to discuss anything that is on my mind. He will always find time and is very cooperative. He understands how I feel and is very sympathetic. I strongly recommend Arun based on his approach and results.

Like the other people said, don't use this lawyer. After losing money with him I went to Brian Starkman and he did the job for me.I can't put two reviews so I will just write here who is good and who is bad.

After speaking with a couple lawyers I found Arun to be the most honest with me and realistic about how my case could turn out. I never felt he was trying to oversell the outcome in order to book a new client. In the end he worked out a better resolution to my case then he had even promised me much to my satisfaction. He was always quick with an update after crown negotiations and with how my case was proceeding after I handed him the reigns which I appreciated. Best of all for the services he provided he is affordable and is provided me with an very reasonable payment plan. I highly recommend contacting and meeting with Arun when considering a lawyer for your case.

There were three charges laid on me in this tragic journey. Arun has assisted me since the beginning in resolving these potential serious matters. In this one and half year of time, he has consistently demonstrated his excellence as a professional and ethical criminal lawyer, including precious opinions and judgments , in-depth knowledge and analysis capability, empathy and care for his client, and great attention to details. As a result, the truth can be presented fully in the trial, and the charges were either dismissed or discharged. In addition, I found out Aurn is very reputable and respected among his industry peers. As his client, it's definitely very positive experience working with him. I truly appreciate what he has done for me and would like to recommend him for helping you walk through the difficult time you may have.

Arun is an excellent lawyer. He is professional and works hard for his clients. I found him to be honest and very accomodating with respect to appointment location and time. Arun negotiated the best possible results for my son. I highly recommend Arun to anyone who requires a criminal lawyer.

I was involved in a domestic situation where my spouse set me up to gain an advantage in a divorce proceeding. I have never been in trouble with the law before and was shocked when I was charged with a domestic violence charge. Arun was the fourth lawyer I interviewed. He promptly returned my call and my first impression was that he was very well spoken, very knowledgeable to the law and a very nice individual. The few months I dealt with Arun, he was very professional, knowledgeable and supportive. There were some twists and turns in my case as my spouse was playing the victim card to the hilt but Arun could see right through that and came up with a strategy to give me the best possible outcome in my case which I was satisfied with. Call Arun and learn for yourself what an amazing criminal defense lawyer he is! Don't understand some of the few negative reviews as he responded to many emails and calls promptly and kept me in the loop of the next steps. Call him to find out!

I had a criminal case with CCRA t had been dragging for yrs. their investigation yeilded a lot of evidence and witness testimonies and the odds were not in my favor. I found Arun online after a strict condition of bail resulted in a 24hr house arrest. Arun explained the process and what he can achieve for me. He listened to me and my concerns-I had little babies and jail was not an option . Arun handled my case beautifully. I never set foot in the courthouse until the very last day. He also discounted his fee when he realised I couldn't pay the amount agreed upon. He kept me informed throughout. Ccra was looking for a jail sentence and mr maini took that off the table. Now I get to be with my kids. He is worth every penny. His experience and contacts are priceless. I would recommend Arun in a heartbeat. Thank you Arun

I received a very disturbing (and convincing) phone message from a woman claiming to be from the CRA Criminal Investigations branch. I was told to call a 1-877 number immediately to avoid having a warrant issued against me for tax evasion. The story gets worse from this point as I actually called the number, but there isn't room to tell the whole story here... Thank God I contacted Mr. Maini. He has dealt with a number of these cases and knew right away that the call was fraudulent. He was very knowledgeable about the procedures that CRA goes through and took the time to thoroughly explain them to me and how they differed from what this group was doing. I can't thank him enough for the peace of mind he imparted and how quick he was to respond. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Maini!

Arun is caring, knowledgeable, and always has time for people- whether they are his clients or just people seeking advice. He gave me some advice regarding a matter involving the CRA and I feel confident going forward. Go with Arun and you will get the best results

Mr Maini represented my son on a number of charges related to a domestic situation. His performance, his professionalism and his negotiation skills resulted in having virtually all of the serious charges withdrawn providing my son with the best possible outcome. In addition, Mr Maini kept our family informed throughout the process and was timely and thorough in his replies to all of our inquiries. I recommend Mr Maini highly.

I was helping a friend with a criminal matter and Arun Maini was referred to me. I am so very glad for the referral. I have met dozens of lawyers over the years - defense and crown attorneys alike - but only in a professional capacity. Of all of the defense counsel I have met, I would only consider hiring perhaps 2 of them. However, I can now add Arun Maini to that list, the top of the list. Very Knowledgeable, compassionate, caring, patient, always available by email or phone, extremely reasonable rates (no nickel and diming) AND HONEST. Very refreshing. He obtained the best possible outcome for my friend based on the circumstances. He was realistic, and explained the process so that there were no questions that went unanswered so there were no surprises. Paperwork was filed in a timely fashion. I am very happy to know that there are lawyers out there that still work with integrity and do not treat you like just another number. I would highly recommend Arun Maini.

Pros: Really good knowledgable lawyer that works for you, communicates very effectively back and forth even on weekends. Cons: Expensive, sometimes will not budge on rate. At times I thought trial was not needed due to lack of evidence, and he could get it dropped before. Overall, very good lawyer worth a referral.

When my brother was falsely accused of Domestic Violence, our family was shocked and afraid. None of us had ever been in trouble before, and we had no idea what to do. We were terrified of the possible decimation the family could face should he be convicted.
Arun guided us through the process seamlessly. His extensive knowledge of the law from both the Prosecutorial and Defense perspectives is invaluable!
He evaluated our situation, thoroughly laid out the process, explained everything thoroughly, and outlined what we needed to do. His knowledge and instincts were correct all the way through the process. Everything he predicted did materialize as he said, and because of his foresight, we were able to be proactive to navigate the process successfully.
His extensive knowledge and thorough preparation at the negotiation phase resulted in a withdrawal of charges!
If you need a knowledgeable, thorough, responsive defense lawyer on your side, Arun is your man!

Arun is very professional and easy to work with. We had a recent issue with a family member and Arun was very clear from the beginning about what to expect in the legal process and what we needed to do for support (we were new to it!!). Throughout the process he was always giving us updates and explaining the situation going on in the court, which was much appreciated. Arun is efficient and effective at getting his job done. In our case, he fought right to the end and we had a really good outcome in a potentially bad situation. I have a lot of respect for Arun and would highly recommend him.

I am very pleased w/ Arun Maini's work on behalf of a family member. He handled the case with great attention to detail as well as care for the defendant. I felt calm and relief from our first communication. The outcome was that the charges were dropped by the Crown. I feel this wouldn't have been possible without Mr. Maini's knowledge and experience both as a former Crown Attorney and as a first rate Defence Attorney.

Arun Maini is an excellent lawyer. He is very empathetic and understands his clients. Mr. Maini is able to communicate the law in a clear manner so that his clients have the knowledge and foresight to fully be aware of the steps involved in the judicial process. Arun is personable and has made great contacts with fellow lawyers as well as relations with prosecutors over the last twenty years. Mr. Maini is fair and reasonable with the fees and by no means is he greedy which is quite opposite to the norm in this field. I'm quite impressed with the character and honesty of Mr. Maini along with the results he was able to produce. If you are in need of a remarkable laywer. Do not hesitate to contact Arun. He will not disappoint you with the results. And he will not over charge you with ridiculous fees.Mr. Maini will also take his time to answer any questions or concerns which you may have. The law is quite overwhelming and you may feel confused but rest assured you can't go wrong with Arun.

I researched a number of lawyers online until I came across the Defence Group's website. I read Arun's background as a former Crown Attorney and decided to contact him. After our first phone conversation, I immediately knew he was an excellent lawyer and the perfect choice for my case. He answered all my questions, remained professional, and most importantly was not judgmental of my situation. He was extremely knowledgeable having dealt with a number of similar situations in the past. He was always reliable throughout the duration of the case. He made himself available via phone or email at any time, which gave me great peace of mind. Finally, he truly showed his incredible character as a caring lawyer when the case was finished. Arun remained right until the very end to make sure all ends were tied. Despite the time pressing very close to the prior engagement he had to attend, he remained with me to ensure everything was finished. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Arun.

I found Arun Maini through the Defencegroup.ca website. I had previously talked with two other lawyers. My first impression of Arun is that he is an experienced lawyer with a calm demeanor. He talked about his strategy and he assured me from our first meeting that we had a very good chance of winning my case. He believed that I was innocent from day one and is non-judgemental and committed in his approach. He had a strategy to combat the prosecution witness testimony. In each meeting he was prepared and confident that we would win this case. He dissected the prosecution witness and closed out the trial with a 1.5 hour long summation to the judge. I was found not guilty of all charges!
I don't understand some of the negative reviews posted here, because that is not the lawyer that worked with me over several months. After a hard fought trial we won and I would recommend Arun Maini to anyone!! He understands what you are going through and works with you every step of the way.

This lawyer did NOTHING for me. I had to hire another lawyer to try to get my case back on track. It cost me extra money.

There are those periods in life when families face unfamiliar situations like criminal charges. It is always a frightening situation when lawyer is a main hope for family to get back to normal life.
I believe Arun is one of those who offer more than a legal advice. He goes beyond and above the expected. Besides explaining the process in the first meeting as a free consultation he advised us on steps to help the judgement.
He made us feel hopeful and confident in positive outcome. It helped us to calm our feelings. Arun clearly explained steps he was going to take to accomplish our goal.

I certainly appreciate Arun Maini and his ability to provide clear and honest advice. He extended himself over and beyond through his quick responses to all inquiries (include Sat & Sun). Family had questions that were asked over the weekend expecting a response the next business day however Arun responded within 30 minutes in some cases on a Sunday. Was flexible to make arrangements to meet with after working hours. Fantastic availability and response time. Our first sessions went on for 2 hours!! (not standard 30 mins) as he educated us on the court process and what to expect. Was upfront about over cost and what to expect over the during of the case based on what information he was told. That was extremely helpful. I would certainly recommend him. Thanks so much Arun!!!

He is not just a lawyer, but a professional that you can rely on his words when he says everything would be fine. I was totally unfamiliar and frightened with these charges, he explained that the charge is at the least rating of crimes (not trying to exaggerate things, convincing me to hire him). He explained the process and how is expected to be resolved, in the first meeting, which was a free consultation. He prepared us to establish some positive volunteer activities to recover the fault to help the judgment. And of course the case was withdrawn.
I was referenced to one of his co-workers who accepted much lower legal fees. When he noticed that she is not available for that period of time. He accepted my case within my budget.
He is fully dedicated to his job and reachable when you need him. He always returned my calls or messages in an acceptable time, mostly within a day.
I think His experience as a prosecutor has made him an outstanding lawyer.

Arun is the most knowledgable ,understanding ,compassionate lawyer I have come across .Even though I am in U.S.A I needed a lawyer in Canada for my nephew's case found Arun on the internet in my first communication over the phone he made me feel as if I knew him for years.He accepted the case [which was dragging for over a year]on a very short notice which was a jury trial and I had lost hope but he made me feel at ease and made this case his priority without any demands for high fees .He won the case for us ,I still cannot beleive goodhearted people like Arun who do not run after money but truly beleive in caring for people still exist in this world .I sincerely wish him all the success in the world and truly hope his efforts are recognized not only in Canada but all over the world.I highly reccomend Arun for any case he fights for truth with honesty and gets justice for his clients .Prepairing for a 5 day jury trial in 20 days and wining the case speaks for itself GOD BLESS .

ABSOLUTE DISSATISFACTION, DISSAPOINTMENT, WAIST OF MONEY AND TIME to deal with this particular lawyer.
Cannot comment on his knowledge or professionalism since never had a chance to observe him doing any kind defence. It seems like his main goal is just to receive retainer funds; he would definitely find time to meet with his client for that reason. He also mentioned, after 5 month of doing nothing, that his is not a trial lawyer so he can only support his client with his presence if they plead guilty in court. In some cases he just simply send a note to the court without even be bothered to show up. Good luck to the clients to see this lawyer if in detention, hard to reach him on the phone as soon as money for retainer received.
STAY AWAY, VERY UNPLEASANT AND HARMFUL EXPERIENCE!!!*****
