Upfront and honest attorney

Aaron has helped me tremendously. He has been very honest with me throughout our relationship. He is very upfront in telling me whether we have a chance at winning, or if he knows we are fighting a losing battle. Aaron is very knowledgable of laws, and has given me many options involving directions ...we should take. He is personable, and feels like I'm talking to a person rather than someone who is just doing their job. I highly recommend Aaron Bellm

Unexperienced and Inadequate

If only I had known this attorney had no experience and no abilities. I wasted an enormous amount of time and money with this attorney. He would not respond to my calls and emails. When we appeared in court he seemed like he was in a hypnotic state and unable to think clearly or speak. When given... the opportunity to make my case before the court he mumbled unintelligible meaningless words without even using complete sentences. Much of the time he just stood their silent flipping through papers. I honestly believe I would have been better off just having represented myself.

Avvo Rating

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.
