Posted by anonymous | March 12, 2012 | Child Custody

good attorney, nice guy

I used Aaron for a child custody matter and I was happy with him. My ex wanted to take our two girls five hours away over state lines and he kept that from happening. I now have primary custody of them. This is what the girls wanted, too. He works hard and seems to have empathy. Doesn't just wan...t your money. I would use him again. He met with me on Sundays when I didn't have to work and I thought that was very nice.

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.
