Paul M. Aaroe II

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

I have been barred as an attorney in two states for nearly three decades. In that time I have dealt with hundreds of attorneys in myriad practice areas. I can state without reservation that Paul Aaroe is as fine an attorney and advocate as I have ever known. Paul's knowledge of DUI law is unmatche...d. But it is as much his compassion and character that helps a client through what is invariably a very dark time. Further, Paul has built a level of respect with judges and prosecutors that I have rarely seen. He invests himself in not only your case but your life. I made a terrible mistake to drive while intoxicated. Thank God I made the best decision possible by hiring Paul Aaroe as my attorney. If you are dealing with a DUI, my advice is "you better call Paul." Thanks Paul.

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 !

Paul went to extreme lengths to ensure I stayed out of jail and was given the least possible punishment possible, and succeeded. I was facing a minimum year in jail, felony conviction, and thousands of dollars in fines. This man found every loop hole he could, fought tooth and nail, and I never seen ...the inside of a jail cell. Considering the penalties I was facing and priors on my record my minimal punishments were the result of a hard working attorney who cared about me and my families welfare.
