Extremely helpful
I had a case from many years ago that I never took care of as I am from out of state. I contacted Scott to help me with the process while still being out of state. Scott was patient, kind, and answered all of my many questions to help me get through the process as much as possible. It was a very scary experience to go through but Scott reassured me that he would take care of everything and he did. I felt that we were in good hands and I trusted him, which is surprising since I don't trust anyone. Thank you Scott for the help we really appreciate all you did for us.

So thankful for Scott!
Scott was able to help my boyfriend and I with some recent incidents that happened. We are both from out of town and Scott assured us that we were in good hands and he was SO right. He was so polite and patient with us and explained everything thoroughly to help us understand what would happen. He got our misdemeanor charges reduced to almost nothing and helped us through the process. If you are thinking about hiring Scott, do your self a favor and DO IT! He’s great and will help out in any way he can!

Highly Recommended
I was flying through Detroit and ended up with a ticket for abandoning my bags. A very big deal in this day and age. I live in TN, so I was pretty nervous when I had a court date in Michigan. I called Scott and he assured me he handled many similar situations. After a quick phone call and a few texts, Scott appeared on my behalf and had it reduced to a parking ticket. So relieved. Scott knows his stuff and was incredibly easy to work with. If you're in a similar situation don't hesitate, call him today!

Great Experience
I was out of state when I called Scott, and he handled everything for me. Never had to step a foot into the courtroom through the entire process. Scott was always readily available to discuss, never had to wait for a response from him. Would highly recommend and definitely use again.

He tried when the others wouldn't and I won because of him
Scott Aaronson has been a lifesaver for me. He always listened to me and went the extra mile that the other attorney I had never even considered. When he pushed to help me, the judge granted our request. The other attorney never even tried and my situation would be much worse without Scott. He is The Best!

Dependable, price is great
Had Mr. Aaronson do an expungment for me. I was always kept up to date on everything there was no guessing game. He did not over charge like a lot of others and after 2 years I found out there was a clerical error filing my expungment. I called Mr. Aaronson and within a few days he had it corrected. I highly recommend Mr. Aaronson to anyone that needs legal counsel.

Reliable, affordable, professional
I hired Scott Aaronson after receiving an open intoxicant ticket. After meeting with Scott he assured me he would help me get this misdemeanor removed from my record. I had been parked with an open can of beer in my cup holder and ticketed. I hired Scott at our meeting. After two short court appearances and communicating well with the prosecutor and the officer that ticketed me, Scott was able to get my ticket reduced to a minor traffic infraction. I'm very grateful , and I highly recommend that everyone keep any open containers of alcohol out of their vehicle. Thank you, Scott !

OWI CASE
I hired Scott for my OWI. I was very happy with the service I received. I would hire him again (but hopefully I will NEVER EVER HAVE TO!!!!!!) He eased a lot of my fears and seemed to know what he was doing.
