Very Communicative and resolved all issues!

We may be biased coming from a not so great experience with our previous attorney for landlord tenant cases in DC but Aaron and his team we've dealt with have been the exact opposite in a very positive way. I came across Aaron on an internet search, we were running short on time and options to resolv...e some of our active cases so we gave him a chance. Aaron and his team have resolved not only outstanding issues we had from our previous representation but we have developed a confidence with their offices that we have yet to have a case where we were not fully represented. We have come across some 'interesting' cases where it is not a cut and dry approach but Aaron has always given us great advice with alternative approaches to achieve the same results. Bottom line, Aaron has accepted anything we've thrown his way, he's never turned us away and his pricing structure was upfront and honest. I'd recommend Aaron to ANYONE!!

Outstanding legal services

I was lucky to find a lawyer of Aaron Sokolow's caliber, dedication, and competence. I had a family based legal problem that I wanted resolved quickly within the regulations and laws of the District of Columbia. Mr Sokolow listened intently and provided outstanding legal strategy and guidance for my... problems with great legal insight and foresight.. The predicted timeline for legal resolution was fairly accurate and I concluded Mr Sokolow was an outstanding lawyer that cared greatly about my legal problems with intelligence and perseverance. Mr. Sokolow is outstanding and a great reflection of the legal profession, I would not hesitate for his legal services and advice in the future.

Mindful, quick, budget conscious, and trustworthy

I worked with Aaron on many landlord needs. He worked with me on identifying things I could do on my own and helped me find a cheaper consultant for permits etc and only took on work that he absolutely needed to do on his own. He was good about explaining all my options, and was through at making s...ure all of our my needs and protections as a landlord were taken care of detail by detail. I'm very grateful to Aaron for also being available for a phone or email consult (billable) when I was in court or in the permit office and needed something clarified urgently. He has treated me with utmost professionalism and kindness. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
