I have consulted with Aaron Schlossberg on many legal questions over the past few years — from reviewing contracts to advising on my aging mother’s affairs to figuring out how to handle a threatened lawsuit. I have never been disappointed. Aaron listens carefully, assesses the situation, and gives ...excellent advice. He doesn’t just know the law well, he also understands what is important and what isn’t. He presents you with your best options to get what is best for you. Sometimes he has advised a somewhat aggressive approach — demanding something in a contract, for example, that I wouldn’t have thought of. I’ve been amazed at what we have been able to negotiate following that advice. Another time, he advised the opposite and suggested I take a passive approach to aggressive behavior on someone else’s part rather than escalate. I was so glad I followed that advice, too, as I watched a situation I thought was exploding simply go away. Aaron is a thoughtful, intelligent, reasonable, and wise attorney, and I’m very grateful for his counsel.

Our company, located in Ontario, Canada, makes license plate recognition equipment that is used by cities and towns across the United States and Canada to manage parking. Our product monitors and encourages parking compliance and provides insight into people’s parking habits and their patronage of sh...ops, restaurants and night clubs, dentists, doctors and lawyers and other commercial activity in downtown business areas. The general goal is to encourage parking turnover which makes a significant and positive impact to an average business’s revenue increasing the vitality, vibrancy, and desirability of the downtown core, and more generally, a city’s cachet and appeal. We are a niche engineering-oriented company, and have a good reputation for quality, ease of use and customer service. A new client on Long Island, New York, approached us about our product. They liked what they saw and what it could do for their town and issued a Request for Proposal (RFP). Our company won the RFP and the town council approved the purchase, with the Mayor stating emphatically and publicly that they were very excited to have our equipment operational in their popular downtown. We were also very excited! We had a firm contract in a new area and their down payment in the bank. It takes about 12 weeks to build, customize and deliver our product. After installing our equipment (during the peak of Covid19 in the fall of 2020), the town began to use it to monitor and enforce parking compliance and expressed complete satisfaction with their purchase. Around this time, a new Mayor and new councilors were voted in. The new Mayor soon made it clear that he did not like the look of the equipment, and stated they would not pay the remaining money, about $50,000. This was a body blow to us. The amount of money was substantial, but equally so was the arbitrary and unethical behaviour of the town’s mayor and colleagues. We had won the RFP, had a purchase order, a contract, and this was a fundamental breach of contract. Initial discussions with the town went nowhere. I searched online for New York lawyers skilled in business litigation and with my daughter (a lawyer by training) teased out the type of person we thought most likely to succeed against a well funded town such as our misbehaving client. Aaron Schlossberg quickly rose to the top. We spoke on the phone, and he immediately grasped the significance of the breach of contract. Moreover, Aaron brought energy and passion for justice which resonated with us. Internally we discussed and debated whom should we pick, and Aaron won hands down. So we started down the long and winding road to a just conclusion. Aaron’s qualities as a lawyer are many. Besides his intense passion for justice, Aaron is extremely knowledgeable, and proposed strategy, tactics, and analogous experience from his many years of practicing, listing legal principles, examples, and case studies. As the case dragged on, and the town continued to thwart, block, and frustrate a constructive conclusion, Aaron worked with us, listening to our concerns, advising and picking initiatives that reduced our legal costs. He demonstrated resilience and tenaciousness, researching precedents, shredding and deflating our opponent’s claims and counter arguments and presented overwhelming evidence in our favor. Moreover his writing was lucid, compelling, powerful. The court certainly agreed with him! We won our case, settled the legal action, and got paid. As you can see, we highly regard Aaron and, facing similar circumstances, would reach out to Aaron in a heartbeat. If you are considering hiring a lawyer and need a skilled and resourceful practitioner that will listen carefully and passionately defend you with tenaciousness and grit, integrity and professionalism, Aaron would be an excellent choice.

We are a small business being taken advantage of, we reached out to Aaron for his services and he treated our company as if it was his. Not only were we able to be sucessful in our matter but we were also able to scale our business. Aaron is very knowledgeable in law and he often would email often af...ter business hours which showed us his dedication. Thank you Aaron we recommend you to anyone we know in NY.
