Former Employee w/ Contractual Issues

I hired Aaron to looking over my employee contract because my former managers were trying to prevent me from taking another job opportunity. Based on what my manager did, he put my job opportunity in jeopardy. Aaron went to work and didn't waste any time. Not only did he share with me what my rights ...were, but he also showed me how my former employer broke the law. He immediately sent out a cease and desist letter to my managers and within a week, my employers let me out of my contract and I was able to take my new job opportunity. Aaron is a professional who's proven he's about getting results for his clients, and in a timely manner. If it wasn't for Aaron, I wouldn't be in my new role with my new employer. If you want an attorney who is personable, multifaceted in many areas of the law, and drives to get results immediately for their client, then choose Aaron Butler.

Divorce Gone Wrong!

I hired Mr. Butler to represent me during my divorce which should have been a simple job. I paid him good money to handle my case and he let the opposing lawyer completely run the show. I also learned from a friend that Mr. Butler was also going through a divorce at the time and he didn't bother to m...ention that fact to me, otherwise I would have never hired him in the first place. He was obviously not concerned with my case and because of his negligence and poor counsel I ended up losing thousands of dollars. I had to fire him and hire someone else to represent me which cost even more money out of my pocket. My divorce could have been over quick and painless but because of his lazy attitude it ended up lasting over a year. It's amazing what people will do to earn a quick dollar these days.

Outstanding lawyer- highly recommended.

Aaron is a very competent lawyer. My wife and I hired Aaron to complete our bankruptcy. Not only did Aaron take the case for a reasonable price, he also agreed to stick to his original quoted price once the case began to sprawl. Aaron did an outstanding job of protecting our assets through the... process of the bankruptcy. We came through with our house, our cars, and our retirement accounts intact. He is a masterful attorney who really puts his client's needs first. I also like Aaron as a person- he is honest and will give you a straight answer to a straight question. Long story short: hire this man if you are seeking bankruptcy relief.

Great help with a home repair contract dispute

Mr. Butler was a wonderful assistance to my family as we were dealing with a home repair contractor who was unwilling to fulfill the contract we signed but also wanted to charge US an exhorbitant amount of money to withdrawl from the contract. Mr. Butler was very helpful when consulting with him abou...t the issues and was willing to be very flexible with his schedule to conference with us when it was convenient for us. His knowledge of consumer protection law was excellent and very informative. As soon as we authorized him to contact our repair contractor he had the whole matter settled within less than 24 hours. We have every intention of using Mr. Butler's services whenever we may need professional legal assistance in the future. We can't thank him enough for helping our family get through a stressful situation. Also, his prices are very reasonable.
