THE MAN, THE MYTH,, THE LEGEND!!!!!

What is your definition of a great attorney?? Every answer will be different.. My answer is a master of the English language. When an individual (Mr. Black) can take the English language and proselytize the prosecution. I had priors in two other states before moving to Arizona last year. My blood alc...ohol was .31, and was looking at some serious jail time. Since Maricopa county treats DUI offenders like terrorist and lock them up in tent city for copious amounts of time. I had to hire the best, the very best attorney. To keep it simple, Mr. Black had the priors dropped and I was only convicted of a super extreme D.U.I,serving only three days in jail. He returned all my phone calls no matter what time of day, and kept me very informed during the proceedings. Most attorneys of his caliber only care about themselves and how much money they can swindle out of their clients. Mr. Black is for from that, down to earth, humble, and charismatic. If i ever have a kid male or female, I will name it Aarron.

Criminal conviction? Stop searching and call Aaron.

Let me start by saying that Aaron is an excellent Criminal Defence Attorney. If you are in the same position I was, you're looking for Criminal Defence Attorney and you may concern is that Aaron's strength is in DUI/DWI cases. I was concerned about that as well. I thought I should probably hire an at...torney who focuses only on misdemeanor and felony criminal charges. I was wrong, and I was wise to hire Aaron. While I have no doubt whatsoever that he is an outstanding DUI attorney, I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Black for your criminal defence. I was charged with two misdemeanor offences: Class 1 Disorderly Conduct and Class 3 Criminal Nuisance. These charges were basically the result of not leaving a statement with the Scottsdale PD when pressured to do so, thus irritating them and becoming the target of their frustration when deciding who to arrest at a party that got a little noisy after hours. Due to the nature of these charges, I was convinced that the case would be dismissed long before it ever saw a bench trial, or before I was even offered a plea. I called five different lawyers, including Aaron, based on reviews from Avvo. The first thing to note is that Aaron was the only lawyer who didn't offer a terrible sales pitch about hiring only those with 20 years experience and "I used to be a prosector". Nonsense. Mr. Black was calm and reassuring, and I felt very comfortable discussing my case with him and listening to his recommendation. Aaron gave me a quote right over the phone and his prices were very competitive. By that I mean that they were exactly what I expected to pay. I was quoted with some astronomically high figures, and one so low that I wondered how the guy could afford to run a practice. Good legal advice costs money. A good legal defence costs even more money. Please, do not go cheap when you're looking for the best representation. Go cheap on your clothes if you must, or your car, but not on your future within the criminal justice system, not in this country. My case was complicated because I was awaiting an interview date for my green card and the charges I was facing could have jeopardized my future here (I am Canadian). Since I was already working with an Immigration lawyer, he consulted with him about the immigration consequences of accepting certain plea deals - very important. The prosector was difficult to work with to arrange a plea that was satisfactory to me, and Aaron never made me feel any pressure to accept a plea agreement. In fact, I had agreed, apprehensively, to accept a deal put together by him and the prosector, and backed out at the 11th hour nearly a month later with the decision that I wanted to go to trial. I was a little concerned that this would irritate him due to the extra work, but we had agreed upon a very reasonable trial rate when we started working together, and he supported my decision and began working on a strategy immediately. Being a very educated and resourceful man, I compiled my own file of evidence and strategy to win a bench trial, but there was basically nothing that I presented to him that he hadn't already thought of or discovered; I was very impressed. What impressed me the most about working with Aaron was his availability. The man never sleeps. Or, he sleeps with one eye open and the other on his cell phone. Whether I wrote him a text at midnight or mid day, he always replied right away and he always told me to pick up the phone and call if I was feeling anxious about the case or needed to ease my mind about something. He seemed to genuinely, sincerely care about the outcome. When the day came to go to trial he did an excellent job representing me and the case was dismissed. Also of note - there were lawyers coming left and right to greet him, he knows everyone in there. Hiring a lawyer who is respected by his peers and fosters good relationships with the prosectors is very important. I would hire Aaron again in an instant and I strongly recommend him!

Extreme DUI/Scottsdale

In March of 2016, I was pulled over by Scottsdale police because one of the two license plate bulbs on my vehicle was not working, making the license plate "unlegible", according to the initial officer. After further investigation it was determined that my alcohol content was over the legal limit. I ...was eventually changed with an Extreme DUI, with a blood alcohol content of 0.188. Needless to say, this would be a life changing event. Until I contacted Mr. Aaron Black, I was made to feel like a deplorable, even though I am one, and proud of it!. Once I had retained the services of Mr. Black, he handed EVERYTHING! Mr. Black, Aaron, handled all the pretrial arangements and notified me when my presence would be required. Aaron BRILLIANTLY argued that the initial stop was unjustified. The charge of Extreme DUI was lowered to DUI, meaning less jail time, fines, etc. I am not a bad person, and in talking with and spending time with Aaron, Mr. Black, I now realize that again. I hope to God that I never have to go through this again. But if I ever do, the first person I will call is Aaron, Mr. Black. Greg C

Best DUI Lawyer in town!

I found Aaron scouring through the reviews as you may be finding yourself doing now. I read through countless testimonials, met with 6 attorneys before Aaron, all offering their 'sure thing' to represent my case and promise a win but it wasn't until I found Aaron that I felt like someone was really i...nterested in the facts and details and rather than guarantee me anything, he was honest about the level of difficulty, gave me the possible outcomes and what he did promise was excellent communication throughout the process, hard work and most of all he fought hard for my case. I was of course scared of the possible outcome but he assured me we had a case, never pushed me to plea and despite the eventual two plea offers and a great deal (far better than what I would have faced if we lost at trial) I felt so confident in Aaron's ability that we opted for a trial and my case was eventually DISMISSED! Wow! I can't thank you enough Aaron and recommend you to anyone who's in need of a criminal defense attorney!

Aaron can handle it all

I retained the services of Aaron Black, who had successfully helped a family member a few years ago, and was extremely satisfied every step of the way. Aaron treated me with respect from the moment we met and was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had with my case. In fact, he a...nswered every text or email almost immediately. He laid out best case and worst case scenarios, so that I knew up front what I could expect. My case involved several charges, including a super-extreme DUI and Aaron told me exactly what to expect with the court system, and he was right about it all. Obviously I wanted to try to mitigate all the penalties, but was prepared for the worst. Aaron laid out options for my defense. We attempted to set the case up for our best chance of dismissal. We had gambled that one of the first responders would not appear in court to testify, and he did not, but other civilians did, thus, that strategy did not ultimately work. Aaron portrays and likewise instills confidence so I was willing to try that alternative. You are in good hands with Aaron Black as your attorney and I would recommend him to anyone who needs his expertise in DUI law and the AZ court system.
