Paul M. Aaroe II

I made a big mistake and drove after drinking, got caught. The first attorney I turned to was Paul and the search didn't need to go any further. Paul was extremely knowledgeable and upfront and honest. Long story short, Paul and his team worked on my case and were able to get me minimum penalties and... all other tickets dropped. If you ever make a mistake call Paul he will not disappoint.

I made a huge mistake and crashed my car after I had been drinking. I ended up getting a DUI, Reckless Driving, and Failure to Maintain Lane Charge. It was my first offense and a situation I never thought I would put myself into. Nonetheless it was my fault and I had to try and figure out the best op...tion to try and help my case. Paul was recommended to me by an aunt and I am SO glad I decided to retain him as my lawyer. Paul and his assistants are extremely professional and never made me feel embarrassed about anything. He listens to you, tells you straight up what some of the possible ramifications are and what he thinks he can do. When it came down to my case, there were a few other circumstances that could have affected the penalties I was going to receive. However, Paul was great and he was able to get the Reckless Driving, and Failure to Maintain Lane charges dropped while pleading guilty to a first offense DUI . In addition to that, he was able to convince the court to give me the very minimum penalties I could possibly receive! If you ever find yourself in a situation similar, I HIGHLY recommend looking into Paul's legal services. It certainly made a big difference and I'm very grateful for that, and that I can finally move on with my life and get on track.

I'm 40 years old, have 2 sons - a nice house, work from home, coach baseball ... live an average, middle-class American everyday life ... and it was almost all ended - due to a traffic stop via a license-plate read. And I was actually GUILTY of said charge. I was driving under suspension, DUI relat...ed. However, there were multiple mitigating circumstances ... I hadn't been in a stick of trouble in 18 years, was the stop valid, why was the license suspended ... I could go on and on about the case, I won't. What I will elaborate on is the fact that Mr. Paul Aaroe is not in it for the 'paycheck'. He's not going to simply take your retainer fee / attorney compensation, do the paperwork and get you a basic 'plea'. Paul Aaroe is an attorney that will get to know his client, your case / personality, etc. and will steadfastly stay on top of your case per getting the best resolution .. and this is with 100% truth-be-told - as I’m sitting in my living writing this, if not for attorney Aaroe, I'd be in NCP's finest]. So, my story: we had our trial at the district court in March 2017, I was facing a 2 year county stint for driving under suspension DUI related 3rd offense, albeit, the first 2 were from 2001, and the 3rd was from a chemical refusal [in 2014]. I was then pulled over in October 2017 from a license-check plate read. Paul suggested I plea out to a driving under suspended DUI related 1st offense, instead of 2 years, I'd only face 90 days ... UGH 90 days, and attorney Aaroe could have ended it right there, and I'd have been dismayed, but 90 days is obviously better than 2 years ... BUT, it didn't end there ... he said we'd appeal ... March 2018 - appeal number 1 in June, nothing resolved, continued {Paul could have simply said, listen, Don, you went from 2 years to 90 days work release, be grateful ... he didn't, he stuck by me and was confident he'd get a much better resolution] ... another continuance in July, which the Judge vehemently said "no more continuances" ... again, Paul could have easily pled this out to a 90 day work release ... he didn't - he worked and worked to get the case on the DA's radar ... and then, he called me ... "Don", he says, "are you having a good day" [in a most disparaging of tones - as he knew he had GREAT news, but just wanted to make me think about it ] ... TRUE STORY ... and I said, well, not sure Mr. Aaroe I'll be having a really shi#@y day, or a most wonderful day since you're calling me regarding the DA's decision ... $200 fine, no loss of license, end of story ... Paul could have easily had me plea to a 90 day work release and sent me up s@#%t's creek months ago [and that's WAY BETTER an outcome than 2 years in County prison], instead, he diligently fought to get my case / our facts - disposition, etc. on the District Attorney's radar [Paul will at the very least get your plea heard … and in my case, he was extremely diligent and very successful] in laying out the facts, going to bat for his client / my case, and now I can continue raising my sons, coaching their baseball / football teams, doing homework, getting them ready for school in the morning, etc. AND, moreover, I didn't even lose my Driver's License [1501a ... anyone reading this will probably know what that is, if you don't it'll be your best friend]. If you're in a jam, and a lot of us are, there's no better an attorney that will fight for you tooth and nail for the best possible resolution for your case than Paul Aaroe. I'm now out of the system, and will NEVER get back in there. Thanks to Attorney-At-Law Mr. Paul Aaroe. Forever thanks for not settling, but sticking by me, and getting the best resolution for me and my family. Sincerely ... DF

The bottom line is that getting caught drinking and driving, and in my case twice, puts you in a situation that harms your record, your finances, and your family. The laws in regards to DUI cases are very clear and the penalties are absolute, specifically in PA. I was facing going into a program to d...o 30 days in jail in leu of 90 days as per the law (ASP). I never in a million years thought I would be facing any type of jail time in my life, as I believed I lived honorably. The realization the drinking and driving is a crime hit me hard. I decided to hire Paul Aaroe, and he laid out everything from the first meeting. He was direct, professional and reasonably priced compared to other attorneys. I decided to focus on treatment options to ensure after this case was over, it would never happen again. Paul made sure that I benefitted from all the laws offered to make the results as minimum as possible. He told me that he would fight for me and he did exactly that. I didn't have to do jail time at all, nor enter into the ASP program which was my biggest concern. I was able to keep my license with no suspension time. My fines were minimal and all the other supporting charges were dropped. I was charged with the highest BAC as a second offender, settled for lowest BAC, with an ungraded misdemeanor instead of a misdemeanor 1. All of this, because of Paul Aaroe. He looked at every avenue to fight my case, and as a result, I can move on with my life without too much damage from me drinking and driving. Not everyone's case is the same and not all results will be. In my case, I was blessed with an attorney who kept his word to fight for me. Now I can move on, honorably.
