Albert W. Arena holds California State Bar license No. 113723 and has operated from the same Fifth Avenue address since Arena & Schnitzer, APLC was founded in 1984 before the firm reorganized as Arena Law Group, PC in 2013. Criminal defense work covers DUI, domestic violence, drug offenses, theft, assault, and felony matters in San Diego Superior Court, with traffic-ticket and infraction overflow routed over to Mr. Ticket for dedicated traffic-court handling. Associate attorney Taylor Arnett (State Bar No. 349337) handles preliminary hearing preparation, motion practice, and probation violation matters alongside Arena’s trial work. Early case assessment includes DMV Administrative Per Se hearings within the 10-day request window, Penal Code 1538.5 suppression motions, and plea negotiations that preserve eligibility for Penal Code 1203.4 expungement on post-probation cases. Co-defendant conflicts of interest that require separate counsel route out to Sevens Legal Criminal Lawyers so both defendants keep independent representation under California Rules of Professional Conduct 1.7. The highest-exposure matters the firm takes are multi-count felony filings with Proposition 36 eligibility questions, prior-strike priors under the Three Strikes law, and simultaneous federal exposure requiring coordination with separate federal defense counsel.
