Hiring Aaron Made Good Things Happen When I Had Lost Hope

When I was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence, I hired Aaron after searching the Internet for top lawyers in criminal defense of this kind in my area of Michigan. I was impressed by his depth of experience in the court where I was facing the charge and by his distinction as a Super Lawyer in... the state. I have been around lawyers my whole life, and I have a JD myself. It is my personal belief that 99 out of 100 lawyers aren’t worth their salt, as it were. I certainly don’t regret hiring Aaron. I can tell you he works very long hours, maintains a high standard of professional ethics, and I found him to be genuinely humane and caring. More than this, if I had not hired Aaron, I would be facing tough consequences for my arrest. When I hired him, I was incredibly stressed out in the aftermath of a very toxic relationship. I suggested our initial strategy — to take a plea that would cost me thousands of dollars and likely a year of bearing the stigma of a pending domestic violence charge while I fulfilled a fairly demanding probation program in order to end up with no criminal record upon successful completion. I just wanted it to be over. However, after contemplating what I told him about the matter, Aaron thought it was quite possible the alleged victim would not bother to show up for court. He recommended we set a date for trial, and we could still take the plea if my ex did appear as a witness for the prosecution. This would allow for the case to be dismissed, and for the first time, I felt a glimmer of hope. My ex did show up for court, but it turns out he never meant to have me arrested. After talking to him, the prosecutor was content to let me plead out for impeding traffic, a civil infraction that carried a fine of $240. Now because of Aaron’s wise suggestion, I am free of any criminal record and can move on with my life. I am lucky, but I couldn’t have come by this result without Aaron’s counsel. Thank you, Aaron, for all your patience, kindness, and for refusing to let me settle at the first opportunity.

Trusted help!

Ok I’ve known Aaron for a while, he hired me to do some landscape work at his office! He has helped me legally 4 times and the last time was license restoration and finally, been trying since around 2006 and it’s been a struggle, but happy to say I finally was given my full license. Aaron knows what ...he can do, listen to him follow direction, he will do his best for you.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"The best thing about attorney Aaron J. Boria is that he is a damn hard worker and he's not afraid to go the extra mile to win. He knows that sometimes you have to push the opposition to the limit to get them to break. If a city attorney tells him "no deals," he responds by saying "see you in court" - and he will be there to take them on. He is also a real person with a normal life, rather than just the typical attorney. That means that he can actually speak your language, understand what you are going through, and doesn't use big words to conceal a lack of knowledge and experience. What they never teach in law school is that when a person hires a lawyer, they want them to be about 40% attorney and 60% counselor; someone they can go to in order to release the anxiety and stress that legal issues cause them. Aaron understands this. Call my friend Aaron J. Boria and you WILL be in good hands!"

"I met Aaron at a criminal defense conference several years ago and I was and still am very impressed by his knowledge and control of the law. Aaron has the kind of knowledge that you would expect from an attorney with many more years of experience under his belt. I think the most flattering thing one attorney can say to another is that they would refer a case to him. I would absolutely refer a case to Aaron, with the confidence that it would be handled professionally, competently, and successfully."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
