Paul Aaroe is the best!!!!

Paul Aaroe handled two DUI caes I had within a month of each other!. I was so pleased with the outcome of my case. He really worked magic for me! Paul is hard to get a hold of at times, but I GUARANTEE, even though you may not always be anle to speak with him, he IS working on your case without you e...ben being aware of it. Not only did he surprise me in court with a 33 day jail sentence for TWO offenses, but he also had my fines lowered from $10,000 to $4,000. This also came as a surprise. I had no idea he was working on this without me knowing it! Ive had other DUI offenses over yen years ago, and no attorney even came close to his professionalism, understanding, and true fesire to help and honestly get the best putcome he can for you! I eould reccommend him to ANYONE in a heartbeat!! Call Paul and let your mind be put at ease knowing you have the BEST dui attorney on your side and everything will turn out the best it possibly can! Thank you Paul for giving me this last chance to be sober and live an honorable life!!!❤

An amazingly confident, competent lawyer with vast knowledge of the judicial system and so true to his word and his clients !

When our loved one who had a pending matter, walked into Mr. Aaroe's office, we were immediately relieved by his pleasant demeanor and his promise to fight the matter as diligently as he could. He had a strong knowledge of the judicial system, and after reviewing the facts, told us how best to proce...ed. He was reliable, reachable, kind and most importantly, fought tooth and nail for his client. For Mr. Aaroe, this is just not a business, but it is apparent that he is a family man and also one filled with a sense of compassion and cares about the clients of whom he represents. His small, personal law office, assisted by a highly effective secretary , Ms. Barb. is the best we came across. Clients here, are just not a " name,' Aaroe is passionate about his job and confident ! Even though we did not have his cellphone number, messages were relayed clearly and promptly and both he and his secretary, responds to email. PAUL AAROE IS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST LAWYERS in North Hampton County !

Nightmare

Hired Mr Aaroe in January 2018 to represent me after a 2nd DUI, highest rate of alcohol. Don't be fooled by the (probably fake) positive reviews, there's just about a 0% chance of getting a favorable outcome from a 2nd DUI in Northampton county, no matter who you hire as a lawyer. You either apply (...if eligible) for the Alternate Sentencing Program that they offer, or you fight your case and lose. It's not fair or just, but it's the way it is in Northampton county. If you really want to get anywhere you have to take your case to the higher courts which is very expensive. I wish I knew all of this at the time, instead I paid Mr Aaroe more money to fight my case. (Big mistake) Because of the questionable circumstances of my arrest, we were hoping they would either drop my case completely or offer to lower me down to the second tier rate blood alcohol level (a much lesser sentence). Of course I knew that nothing was guaranteed. Mr Aaroe told me there was at least a 50/50 chance, and if we lose he was confident he could get me immediate work release. Because of that, it sounded like it was worth taking a shot. We lost the motion, but that's not why I'm giving Mr Aaroe an unfavorable review. On my court date, the judge did grant me immediate work release. However, a box was not checked on the paperwork. Mr Aaroe didn't catch this critical mistake until several days later. He then emails me a letter from the judge, which I thought meant that he corrected the error. (Mr Aaroe always communicates through short, vague, impersonal emails) So I report to Northampton County Prison on my commit date, thinking everything was in order, and I'll be going to the work release program. This was not the case...the letter that the judge sent back did not say the right thing. I wound up in a Northampton County Prison cell block and spent the whole 90 days there. Mr Aaroe was unable to do anything to get the mistakes corrected and have me moved to the work release facility where I was supposed to be. I spent all that money on a lawyer just to end up with a worst outcome then if I didn't hire anyone at all. The fact is, Mr Aaroe was in a huge rush on my court date. (he was always in a rush) He should have been more thorough and looked over the paperwork immediately after the judge sentenced me. I should have at least gotten that much from him. The only positive thing I can say about the Aaroe law office is their secretary was very helpful and responsive. She even responded to one of my questions while she was on vacation. I wasn't going to take the time to write a review for this guy because I'm trying to put all this in the past. But I can't help but think back to how I was fooled by so many of the good reviews for him online. (They now seem very fishy to me) I hope that sharing my experience can help others facing the uncertainties after a DUI charge. You made a mistake by deciding to drink and drive, don't make another one by choosing Aaroe law.

Posted by anonymous | November 09, 2017 | Expungement

stay away

If you want to spend $1,500 for absolutely nothing, hire this guy. He was late to court(yes it was snowing, but a heads up would have been nice), only stayed for about three minutes because he had to be somewhere else, and didn't even sign the necessary paperwork. I emailed him multiple times after... the fact to see if anything else was required from me to have this expunged from my record and he never responded. Waste of money!

This client obviously would be disgruntled regardless of the outcome. Clearly, I made sure that everything went well for him and he was successfully admitted to the ARD program. If he didn't get a response from the email, maybe it went into spam and he should have called the office? The funny thing is, his expungement process would've been explained to him at our first consultation before even paid me any money. I go into all the details of the process and give all the information at the initial conference - FREE! It's only after the conference that the client decides whether they wish me to attend there are three court appearances and help them through the ARD process to ensure that they don't have a criminal record until they turn 70! Read further down in the comments and you will see what normal people do and say when someone helps them achieve their goals!
