Review Aaron Black

Super Extreme DUI w/accident

Posted by

Aaron got my case reduced from a super extreme DUI to a regular DUI with NO JAIL, fines reduced from base of $3700 to $1500 (plus the emergency fees), jail reduced from 45 days to a 0 day sentence despite being will over a .20, in a roll-over accident and injuring my passenger (my friend) interlock reduced from 18 months to now one that can come off after 12 months. Not only was this greatly reduced and I stayed out of jail, we were able to avoid felony aggravated assault charges! This was all done because Aaron put pressure on the prosecutor regarding time of driving and witness statements. I am beyond grateful!

True Professional

Posted by

Aaron was my defense attorney after being arrested for DUI. He was able to get me the minimum punishment even though I had terrible behavior during my arrest. Additionally since I refused a breathalyzer I was facing a year suspension of my driver license. Aaron successfully defended me at my DMV hearing and I was only suspended for 30 days. Getting arrested is stressful, but Aaron is a great guy to have in your corner. He was actually Refered to me by my friend who happens to be top brass in Scottsdale PD. Apparently the DUI guys aren’t a fan of his, which is good for a defendant. All in all, great service and result. Key thing, don’t drink and drive, but if you make a mistake and need help, he’s your guy. Thanks Aaron

Excellent Attorney!

Aaron black is sharp and highly efficient. He was very quick to reply to my e-mails, which was really reassuring. At our first meeting, I was impressed by how attentive and patient he was when I told him the injustice inflicted on me. I will always remember the fact that he took extensive notes and the way he did it, in part because my first divorce attorney whom I fired, did nothing comparable. The fact that the charge my soon-to-be ex pressed against me was the result of his chilling false allegations about an violent event he instigated and of his use of my nine year old daughter to conceal his violence and frame me does not make my case easy. Nor does it necessarily mean I was to be treated with justice. However, in retrospect, Aaron Black got me the deal, a pre plea diversion at a lightning speed. The reality is that within a month or so after my first meeting with Aaron in late February and my subsequent hiring of him, he got the above-noted deal. Prior to obtainment of the deal, Aaron succinctly pointed out the inconsistencies in a police report concerning my ex-to-be’s allegations and conveyed his intelligent professional opinions about the charge against me. That is to say, the charge against me does not make any sense and by implication should be dismissed without any conviction. I have already got the official order of dismissal. I believe it is his rational thinking and rich professional experiences as well as his compassion that helped me clear myself of false allegations. If you are looking for a highly capable and understanding attorney who will shield you from injustice, I strongly recommend you to work with Aaron Black!! Life becomes a lot easier and, in my opinion, will always get better with nice people around us!! Take care !

If you’re in need of legal assistance, Aaron will not disappoint! I was arrested for super extreme DUI and knew I needed to find an experienced attorney. I searched Google for the best DUI attorneys in Phoenix and his name came up. I can’t say enough great things about Aaron’s work on my behalf. He worked tirelessly for me and was able to get the super extreme charges knocked down to extreme, which reduced my fines, jail time was knocked down to an overnight stay with 7 day monitoring, and the length of time I will have to have an interlock device on my vehicle was also reduced. He was very attentive to my many questions, always responded quickly, and really went the extra mile to make the experience as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend Aaron!

Aaron is great!

I was referred to Aaron after my first-ever citation for speeding, and he worked hard to get my court date vacated — he really listened to me and emphasized what I hoped he would emphasize in his filing to the court. I completed defensive driving school and my ticket was subsequently dismissed thanks to Aaron's efforts. He was available when I needed to chat and was super helpful throughout this process. Can't thank him enough!

Awesome Lawyer

I highly recommend Aaron Black. I got a ticket for the first time and of course was scared out of my mind. Aaron black eased my mind about the whole process. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. I am also very happy with the deal I got. If I ever (which I hope I don’t) get into any other trouble, Aaron black is the one I will call on. I’m referring him to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for everything!

Was charged with a pretty high BAC count. If not for Aaron, would definitely have suffered severe consequences. Aaron, was able to bring down all the charges to the bare minimum allowed by state law, which let me continue on with my daily life without hindrance. Always available on phone or text, hands on approach and very understanding.

Look no further

I was arrested for a DUI and had absolutely no idea what to do, who to call, and how to react. I read review after review, ask around for some references, and was completely overwhelmed with the process - I had a few consultations and finally reached out to Aaron on a Saturday fully expecting to leave a message and hear back on Monday. Aaron called me back that day and spent an hour of his weekend talking me through the typical process, potential outcomes, getting familiar with my specific situation, and helping me to set expectations for how long the process would take, what his plan would be, and what my worst case situation would be. Needless to say, I was completely overwhelmed by the whole DUI situation, especially being that I am not a resident of AZ (Chicago, IL right here) and that only complicated my situation even further. Beyond preparing me for court, helping to set me up with counseling, Aaron constantly communicated with me throughout the whole process, fought for me, and was ultimately able to secure a significantly reduced charge / plea versus my original charges (Extreme DUI down to DUI in the Slightest). Aaron was fantastic throughout the entire process, and I cannot recommend him enough. He is persistent, dedicated, incredibly knowledgeable, sincere, and sympathetic. I hope and pray that once was enough, but if I were to ever be so unfortunate to find myself in this situation again, Aaron will be my first and only call.

Great experience and smooth process!

I was charged with a DUI and like many of you, was freaking out. My husband found Aaron after scouring through countless reviews and testimonials. As a teacher, I needed to make sure I had the best representation to walk me through this process and assure me that my DUI would not impact my teaching certification. Aaron was always so responsive and answered my phone calls and emails immediately even if they were in the middle of the night. After meeting with 5 attorneys, I chose Aaron because it was clear that this was his expertise and he did not guarantee that he would win my case. Instead, he focused on the facts and understood the best plan of action to get the minimum penalties. After many months, Aaron was able to keep me out of jail, pay the minimum fines, and I did not need to get SR-22 insurance!!! Aaron was truly my saving grace and made this process as painless as possible.

Aaron really helped my case. He walked me through everything and was great at getting back to me questions I had throughout the process. And he really took to the time to go over all the evidence to help my case, specifically, he carefully reviewed the videos of my arrest and was able to argue my case down from an extreme DUI to a regular DUI, which resulted in lower fines, less time with an interlock device, and I’m sure other thing I’m forgetting at the moment. Awesome attorney!

I've known Aaron Black for a number of years, have practiced in the same courtrooms, and have had the opportunity to watch him in trial several times. His level of knowledge and skill as a criminal trial lawyer is exceptional. I've actually learned valuable lessons by observing him in the courtroom. Even more important, Aaron cares about sticking up for his clients. He cares about fighting hard for them and making sure they are treated fairly by the justice system. It would be difficult to find a trial lawyer who has better legal skills combined with a truer sense of justice. I sincerely recommend Aaron Black.

In many years of practice in state and federal courts, I have handled hundreds of cases. From time to time, I refer people to a small group of lawyers whom I trust to provide a high level of competent and diligent services. Aaron Black is one of those lawyers in whom I place great trust, especially a DUI case. More importantly, Atty. Black strives to price his services within a range reasonable for the average person and representative of the complexity of the defense. One meeting with Aaron Black should convince you that he is the lawyer for you.
