I couldn't have been happier with Aaron! He is a class act and will work extremely hard for you. I went from DV & Disorderly Conduct x 2 to Diversion for DC x 1 only!!!

So I guess I had to much fun and made a bad decision. Aaron made sure I never felt like a criminal. He always dealt with me personally and effectively. He did the most he could and Drastically reduced my DUI sentence. I felt like everyone else was against me... the judge...the cops...but it was OK cause I had Aaron. I felt that he was always available even when I knew my questions where monotonous. Hiring Aaron was the best decision I made.
