Would definitely recommend!!

Aaron represented me in my divorce case, and from the start, I knew he had my best interests at heart. He worked hard to make sure that my divorce and settlement was fair, and was professional during the entire process. He also related to me on a personal level, which made me feel that I wasn't jus...t "another client"; he was available to talk to me personally any time I needed him or had any questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking a divorce attorney.

Posted by Chris | October 09, 2011 | Child Custody

Fathers seeking rights

I sat down with this guy today for a free consult to adjust my visitation and all I can say is I wish he was around when I was seeking custody of my daughter. Especially if you are a father who has been dicked over by the system and you are looking for the right attorney i just found him for you. I... have interviewed and hired a lot of attorney's in the last 10 yrs in the Montgomery and Greene county area. From John Rion (waste of money) to the cheapest attorney and all the ones in between. Straight shooting attorney who has yet to lose his passion and who has also experienced what the rest of us men have been through. With this said, I did not hire him. A little to steep for an adjustment of visitation, but if things get worse in my situation I will invest my money in this guy. Bottom line, if you are a father or a good mother for that part in search of a good attorney, go in debt on this guy because I sincerely believe he will be worth it.

Just WOW!!

Aaron took care of my child custody case not only did I have no real relationship with my son but I also had to deal with trying to get him from another state. Now I have custody of my son and he is at home with me in MY state. I have never been more happy with a lawyer. he is top notch
