Consult Aaron before anyone else

First off, Aaron and I discussed my case of a hit and run an careless driving. He called me on a Friday evening after I emailed him to discuss the incident so I would not be worrying about it over the weekend. He responds quickly to emails and phone calls. It is these small details that set him ap...art. When it came to court, Aaron talked to the prosecutor and set up a deal. After that, he walked me through the process, exactly what the judge would ask me, and coached me on how I should respond. It definitely helped reduce the stress before going in and standing in front of the judge. We were able to get offences that would have been 9 points, close to $1000, and a viewable misdemeanor to a misdemeanor that would only show up if someone went to the court and pulled the file, around $700 in fines, and 1 point on my record. This deal far exceeded my expectations. He saved me money in the short term, long term (insurance cost spikes), and the extra peace of mind of not having to worry about the misdemeanor being viewable to others. Do not hesitate to contact Aaron. You will not be disappointed

Thank you so much for the awesome review!

Posted by anonymous | June 23, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Aaron is amazing - 3rd DWI with zero jail time; 18 months later...back on road!!

Our family has hired other attorneys in the past (all were non-criminal situations like workers comp, estate, etc.), and in every situation, in the end we had positive outcomes. However, our experience with Aaron was entirely different; he's not cut from the same cloth. Not only was he outcome driven..., but he genuinely cared about our situation and our family's future. My husband was charged with DWI, 3rd offence. When I first called Aaron, we talked for close to an hour. He listened to everything I had to say (I never felt rushed), asked questions that indicated he was truly trying to understand our circumstances and then offered words of encouragement. I really don't know what the going rate is when you hire an atty for a 3rd DWI offense, so I'm not sure if Aaron's rate was high, low or average...but it was a big chunk of change. Let me tell you how he was worth every penny: 1) He was incredibly responsive and available, 2) He ALWAYS listened to our concerns and addressed them immediately, 3) He patiently explained to us what was going on, in clear terms, so we understood everything; we always knew the status of things, 4) He clearly has a strong working relationship, and is highly respected, in both Plymouth and Allen Park courts (I imagine more, but that was where he represented us), 5) My husband was arrested for the DWI in Plymouth, and that's what I hired Aaron for. When Aaron discovered that he also had a pending issue in Allen Park, he offered to represent him in that situation at no additional charge, 6) He drove my husband truck from the impound at Plymouth to Allen Park because I couldn't drive a stick (this clearly extends beyond the call of duty!), 7) My husband ended up with 'Sobriety Court', and no jail time. The arrest happened in December 2015, it's now June 2017 and he recently got his license reinstated and he's driving again. NOTE: My husband got his first DWI about 20 years ago and then the second about 10 years ago. So while it was his third, they were spread apart by approximately 10 years each offence. He was VERY intoxicated with the 3rd offence and was rude to the police (we were so horrified and embarrassed by his behavior). My husband suffers from a previous brain injury and has some mental health issues. I wrote a letter to the judge (per Aaron's recommendation) that perhaps helped with the very compassionate sentence. Despite those mitigating factors, there's no doubt in my mind that it was Aaron's expertise, dedication, his reputation as a fair, respectful (and respectable) atty at Plymouth and Allen Park, combined with his hard work that led to our amazing outcomes. As a bonus, he's a down-to-earth person, who is compassionate and will treat you with respect. I highly recommend him.

Better call Boria!

Disclaimer: I don't write reviews but Aaron is an exception. I was impressed even before speaking and/ or meeting with Aaron. He is not just your "knowledgeable attorney" but WAY beyond that. He made the worst experience of my life very manageable. Fact: First timers are SCARED. I had not experie...nced anything more traumatic!! But Aaron made me feel comfortable, something i thought i wouldn't be feeling for a long time...aahh. - His responsiveness and professionalism are unmatchable. He is prompt, and accessible. The rate of communication was crucial for me, so i appreciate that a lot - great service. - His ability to empathize and communicate makes the process so much easier (trust me). Very personable, and humble individual who will explain and, walk you through the entire legal process, set your expectations and get you results. - He is well connected and a very resourceful professional, who has your best interest (loyalty/agency- relationship game: Strong). Bottomline: Aaron is a genuine, fun guy. He is very good at what he does. He looks out for you. He is honest. Gets things done. Plans a strategy with you. Gets you out. As long as you do your part, you should be fine. I am so grateful and so appreciative of my experience with Aaron. I HIGHLY recommend you call or e mail him right now, if you are in trouble and reading this. It is a horrible feeling..shock, anxiety, panic, guilt - a lot of emotions. But really, It is all about being comfortable; and congratulations - you have landed yourself in a good spot. Thanks for making my life normal again Aaron! You are Awesome!!

I love the title. Whoever wrote this will have to email me and let me know. Thank you very much! Glad you are happy with the outcome.

Posted by Annastacia | May 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Forever Grateful

To say that I was happy with the outcome would be an understatement!! Right from the beginning Mr. Boria made himself available for any of my questions and concerns. After my second violation on probation I was looking at jail time. That would mean possible loss of employment and it raised concerns s...eeing how I am a single mom of a six year. Mr. Boria was a pushing force in me getting my community service done and having me be prepared for any outcome. He kept it real with me, and although it was scary at times, it made me feel prepared for whatever the results may have been. I tend to get tongue tied and extremely nervous when dealing with law enforcement and court but I need not to worry. Mr. Boria spoke with my probation officer and to the judge for me. I felt confident for the first time in court knowing that he was representing me. At the end of the day, Mr. Boria was able to keep jail time out and I ended up with only a few days of work duty. I am forever grateful for everything he did for me!

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 18

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."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
