Trust your instinct!

I initially hired Aaron for legal representation at a reduced rate. At the beginning, he managed my case with professionalism. However, over time, there were several instances where boundaries between professional and personal interactions were not maintained. Communication became challenging, and... there was a noticeable lack of responsiveness to inquiries about my case. At one point, there was an inappropriate reference to my mental health in a manner that seemed unprofessional and dismissive. I felt personally attacked. Given these experiences, I decided to seek new legal representation. My intention in sharing this is to provide an objective account of my experience for the benefit of others seeking legal support. Failure to File Documents: “There were multiple instances where necessary court documents were not filed within the required timeframe, which caused delays in the proceedings and added stress to the situation.” *Missed Appointments: “There were occasions when scheduled appointments were missed or rescheduled at the last minute, leading to a lack of continuity in handling my case.” Lack of Transparency: “At times, there was a lack of clear communication regarding the status and progress of my case, which made it difficult to understand the next steps and to make informed decisions.” Unprofessional Conduct: “There were instances where the tone and manner of communication felt dismissive, which impacted the professional relationship and made it challenging to feel supported.”

Semaja, While working with you, you have had several outbursts while I have been in court including a car accident that we have no involvement in, we spent hours speaking with you as well as opposing counsel to try and resolve your matter. We have additionally tried to find you services to assist you and your child. Overall, it is difficult to work with someone effectively who has issues with a busy schedule and requires texts back. You accused me of blocking you last year when we initially spoke, you accused me of blocking you again this year. You made personal insults as well. I even responded that I believed you should find new counsel given the overall issues in less than a month of working with you. I apologize if your expectations were not met, but it is extremely hard to work with people that demand immediate attention and don't realize that the contract even states that we will return communication within 48 to 72 hours. It is additionally hard to work with someone that isn't grateful for the kindness we show the outside of the usual scope of work given your significant needs.

Scammer

Dear Aaron Korson, This guy really sells his words to get you to hire him, making you feel as if he is really interested and worried about you and your case. Gives you ever excuse, as to why you haven't heard back from him in weeks, doesn't take any of your calls, doesn't reply back to you on time. ...Never filed what he was supposed to do for me in court in the 3 months,of just waiting with no answer, no one has never even heard of his name When I called myself to see what he has done for me. And if you question him about the case, he gets mad, he threatens to not represent you anymore. I reported him to the ARDC. He's taking people's money that work hard for it and need the help.

Truly grateful

Aaron was amazing to work with. I was really stressed out about getting out of my lease due to safety concerns, and he handled everything with care, urgency, and total professionalism. He made me feel heard, explained everything in a way I could understand, and truly had my back. Thanks to him, I was... able to get out of a really tough situation and finally breathe again. I’m so grateful I found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer who genuinely cares.

Scamer

This man will lead you on thinking he has your best intentions just to ignore you and give you thousands of excuses on why he can't talk to you. Aaron will not file anything on time and act oblivious to everything. This man likes to write reviews about himself so don't believe his ratings. Please ...know this. You get what you pay for. He will lie and cheat you. Just get a real lawyer and do your research. Also, I would leave zero stars but I can't.

Poor service

I hired Mr Korson for a Probate case regarding my deceased son. Only to be dumped with no service no updates on my case nor was a docket ever filed in probate court. I have continuously reached out to Mr. Korson only to be ignored certified letters never accepted by his office Went to the office left... notes on the door. Finally an appt made then cancelled very poor service. I feel as if I need an attorney for this attorney. I feel scammed.

None of this is true or accurate. Unfortunately, we cannot work with clients that do not respond to our requests. In addition, it is impossible that you missed all of the employees at our office while leaving notes and any statement with regard to refusal of mail is highly inaccurate. We offered you a refund in full although we worked on your case and you failed to respond for a 1 year and 9 months.
