Aaron Saldana was a God send!

I reached out to Aaron because my council wasnt doing anything for me on my case what so ever. After replacing said council with Aaron he was able to get my case dismissed in just one month’s worth of hard work and only 12 minutes with the ADA in court. Aaron was a god send, not only is he an absolu...tely excellent criminal defense attorney but hes also a very down to earth likable guy. He and his staff were professionals who got the job done. I would 100% recommend him and his staff. I hope to never be in this situation again but if i am, I’m coming straight to Aaron to represent me as my council. I highly recommend his services if you ever find yourself in a position where you need criminal defense representation.

I recommend him 100%

A lawyer like him is hard to find the majority does not have your best interest in mind but he's different down to earth very humble you can talk to him like you talk to a friend we fought a case for a whole yr and went to trial together and got my case accuited at trial I wish I could give yall more... details of my case and who Aaron is as a lawyer but because of his help I'm home I have own barbershop have full custody of son there isn't to many successful stories for ppl like me God used Aaron to help and I appreciate him for being himself I couldn't afford to have someone to treat me as another number or just another inmate at that point of my life like I said I recommend him 100%

Not recommended

I was a journalist for a few years covering, among other things, the courts in North Carolina, and Saldaña is by far the worst defense attorney I have ever seen in a courtroom. The court assigned him as a government-paid attorney for a nephew of mine and not only did he not even defend him, but he tr...eated the defendant despotically. Not recommended.

He's a great lawyer to have!

Very pleased with Mr. Saldaña. I definitely recommend him to anyone. Before the consultation was over I knew I was going to hire him. He's just very easy to talk and very patient with the clients but when it's time to fight for you he'll definitely going to do it!

DISMISSED!

Aaron walked in and got my case dismissed within minutes. I was very scared and frightened as this is was the first time (and last time) that I have ever been in trouble with the law. He told me not to worry that he would take care of it for me and that it was his job to worry for me. I would defi...nitely recommend him. Thanks for all your help and all that you do Aaron!

"Aaron I'd a very knowledgeable attorney and he fights hard for his client's freedom. I first met Aaron at the courthouse. I asked Aaron about possible strategies for my trial that I had that same day, and he gave me some advice that helped me keep my client out of jail. I also asked Aaron about another client that I had, and we discussed possible strategies. And again, Aaron helped me protect my client's freedom. I strongly recommend Aaron as a criminal defense attorney."

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.
