Aaron Marcellus Rochelle

Aaron Rochelle was assigned to my son by the judge for and underage consumption charge. He did not return any phone calls leading up to the court hearing. My son and his mother both left messages to let him know that my son was in the hospital and would need a continuation. He did not return their ca...lls nor asked the judge for the continuation which resulted in a warrant being served for non appearance and my son being booked into jail. The bail cost $2500 and was totally avoidable if Aaron Rochelle simply cared enough to do his job. His clients may not be rich but they are people.

First of all, I was not able to get in touch with him at all. I had to schedule a phone call a month and a half out and when that phone called rolled around it was maybe 5 minutes and that was it. No other contact before my court date. I had no way of getting a hold of him to ask questions. And on th...e day of my court date apparently there had been some issues with what he said he was going to submit to the court but did he contact me to let me know that? No so I was blindsided I had no time to think about my options, and when I seem flustered at the courthouse he told me I needed to hurry up and decide and stared me down and then when I told him I didn't really understand what my options were that he had just spent all of three and a half minutes explaining, he rolled his eyes and huffed at me. Then after I sort of kind of made a decision he got up and stormed into the courtroom and started filling out paperwork, shoved a piece of paper in front of me to sign and then a minute later I was in front of the judge and I literally had to look at him when the judge was asking me how I was answering the questions cause I didn't know what to say. More eye rolls. More huffing. I'm devastated because now I know that had I looked into it further and had actual representation I could have gotten out of the charge but instead I'm stuck with a year of probation and a charge on my record that's going to severely impact my future employment options in my career field of 20 years. Like the heading says he's absolutely worthless. He should be disbarred. Don't waste your time.

I called to set up a appointment 2 MONTHS before my court date. Which would have been 1 week and 2 days after he was appointed to me by the judge. The judge said to call a week from the day he was appointed to set up a appointment. But apparently those 2 days I waited (holiday) made it to the point t...hat he got so busy with other clients that he couldn’t meet with me to discuss my case. I have not talked to him one time since he was appointed I have left over 30 messages begging him to give me 2 minutes of his time. Begging him to please call me because I’m going insane about this court case. Begging him to please just call me back. But I guess that’s too much. I don’t believe he should have been paid for my case even if he does show up to court. I haven’t talked to him I don’t even know what he looks like and at this point I have court in the morning at 9 and I haven’t slept in 3 days. I can’t remember the last time I ate anything . I haven’t showered in days. I haven’t been able to work because I am so depressed and scared that I’m almost feeling like the better option will be to skip court and run. This “man” is the real scum of the world and after this is over I’m about to sue the crap out of him because in the contract I received he is required to talk to me atleast once before my court date .
