Review John Aaron

Relief!

Posted by

As a parent and a professional, I thought things could not get worse. Not only did he offer to see me on a weekend, Mr. Aaron advised me about the cost, how to handle the matter- with family and work. Very calm and confident he asked me questions that I would not have thought would affect the influence that one glass of wine would have on my body- medications, etc. THANK YOU

Happy and grateful client

I made a horrible mistake. The mistake included the most important person in my life. Truly, I felt my life was over. Mr. Aaron, from the beginning gave me my confidence back. Not to mention his staff are wonderful, too. I needed my confidence back and to stop treating myself so worthlessly. He encouraged me to get back to my normal life while he took care of everything else. I was aware of every step of my defense. I had lots of questions. He was honest in all aspects. I really can't explain how awesome he is, but know I will forever remember him and his staff for their genuine concern. Don't miss an opportunity to retain him as your attorney. You will not be sorry. I believe he truly cares about you as a person while working diligently to get the best outcome possible. My outcome was better than I imagined.

Great outcome!

HIS SECRETARY IS GREAT SHE DID A AWESOME JOB RELAYING ANY MESSAGES AND QUESTIONS I HAD. I COULD EVEN REACH OUT TO MR. AARON ABOUT ANOTHER CASE I WAS DEALING WITH AND HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WOULD AND HE WOULD STILL PROVIDE ME WITH GREAT LEGAL ADVICE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM IF YOU NEED ANY HELP!

Easied worry

Posted by

I hired Mr. Aaron to assist me with a DUI case. He gave me plenty of his time and did not charge an exorbitant amount to take on my case. Mr. Aaron always answered my questions and calmed me when worried. His professionalism was very good but he also treated me like a person without any judgement. I would highly recommend his services to another person.

Outstanding Service

Posted by

Mr. Aaron has been a huge part of our organization. When we met him we had no idea when we would be able to start offering services. We had some guidance that sent us in the wrong direction. As soon as we met him he began working and had us ready to go by the end of the week. He cares about his work and clients. I would send anyone i know needing legal service to his firm.

Don't lose hope

Awesome!!!! Confidential, professional, honest and confident!!!!! That's from the beginning to the end. In life we all have experiences good or bad. This was one of the worst and involved my family. I was scared to death. Mr. Aaron came to my home, walked me through every detail and was concerned about me as a person. I couldn't have asked for anything more and the outcome was better than I ever imagined!!!
