Paul M. Aaroe II

Everyone does dumb things; some are just dumber than others. I contacted Paul because he was a lawyer in my area who had knowledge of both PA and NJ DUI laws. As fate would have it, my choices one autumn night let me to a situation where I required an expert in that field. The problem with irrespo...nsible decisions is that you may not realize the consequences until the dagger has already fallen. The first step in addressing your DUI issue is to realize that there is no one else to blame in your situation but yourself. You made the choice that led to your predicament and you must suffer the consequences. Admit you were wrong, accept the punishment and move on. Paul told me as much and more when I had my first consultation with him and highlighted the fact that even though I didn't have a drinking problem, I apparently have problems when I drink. Paul laid it out straight that in this day and age there are mandatory minimum penalties that accompany such arrests. There is no such thing as 'getting away with it' unless the police really messed up. And when it comes to DUI/DWI, police tend to be mercilessly thorough. Upon receiving the discovery from the police department, Paul made sure I understood what the consequences would be if I accepted the minimums or tried to fight the case. He maintained that I could fight it but it would take time and money and would not necessarily guarantee a successful outcome. He offered an honest assessment that I had little to no ground to stand on given my situation. I trusted his advice and accepted the situation for what it was and decided to move on with my life. At the end of the case, my penalties included some costly fines, court costs, as well as stringent requirements for interlock devices and license suspensions for set periods; mandatory minimums given the offense. The outcome resulted in three of four charges from that night being dropped and the absolute minimum penalties that accompanied the most heinous charge. I learned some valuable lessons that hurt my pride and pocket, but most of all my integrity. Paul helped me through this dreadful process with a candor and commitment that helped to make a terrible situation a little more bearable.

I feel i should give a real review. Its up to you if you hire Paul Aaroe . First, I take full responsibility because i was guilty . I thought hiring an attorney could minimize the penalties . Im taking the time to write this review because if i can help you from wasting your money on this lawyer the...n I feel it was worth the investment . Paul's lack of knowledge in the field of DUi almost made me end up in jail . When you get a DUi the arresting officer will add a bunch of additional tickets that had nothing to do with the stop . The officer already knows most if not all the tickets will be thrown out all they want is the DUI to stick . The only thing Paul can do for you is get those tickets dismissed a public defender can do that for you . In your first appearance he will tell you cant win and will tell you to plead guilty to the DUI and he will have all the other tickets dismissed . That's his game plan and he will stick to it . He will take your money and lie to you until you plead guilty . I've paid a heavy. Price please if you need a DUi attorney dont hire Paul Aaroe . You can do better . I promise you .
