Professional and Highly Knowledgeable, Accessible

I remember the day I called Aaron. He picked up the call right away and was willing to listen to my case. After he allowed me to ramble on, he gave me his professional opinion, I agreed to hire him, and it was only then that he told me he was on vacation. I appreciated that he took the time to review... my case during his time off. Aaron was in constant contact with me (by phone and in writing) discussing and explaining the details of my case as they were released. Aaron always called at least a day before a court hearing to go over the details with me again. Being as nervous as I was he made me feel very comfortable. He never missed a beat when he talked about the laws in my city, the processes of the MVD and the court system. He explained them with ease and with a confidence that assured me that he knew what he was doing. As my case wrapped up he told me he would continue to be available and talk me through the rest of my obligations. I would hire him again, no hesitation!

Relieved

I have never written a review on anything, ever. But I am compelled to write one for Mr. Aaron Black. A few months ago, I ran (drove) into some trouble. After going through the emotions of the ordeal, I began reviewing lawyers, like many of you are doing now, and came across Aaron Black. I decided to... retain him for my legal representation, and I was extremely happy I did. Mr. Black was always available when you need him and provides pertinent answers. He was able to get many of my charges dropped, and the one I plead to was the minimum. My 1 year suspension was dropped and he argued successfully reducing my hours in jail. He definitely knows his stuff. I hope this review serves you all well, as I relied heavily on reviews in my selection process. But one thing I will say, go with Aaron Black, you'll be thankful you did.

Saved me over $6000

You can read all the rest of the reviews. Like everyone else, I stupidly drove drunk. Unfortunately, I hit someone and totaled their Lexus. They went out and bought a brand new one which was over $6,000 above the value they received from insurance. They wanted me to pay that difference because "they ...couldn't find the 2015 model anymore". Lucky for me, I had Mr. Black as my attorney. He successfully defended me from having to pay the difference despite a heartfelt testimony from the person I hit. The law said I only needed to make them whole again and thats what happened. Saved me over $6,000 in damages. Also, since my blood alcohol level was in the super DUI range, they tried to get me extra days in jail and house arrest. Aaron was able to get me the least amount of jail time, three days, and only 14 days of continuous alcohol monitoring. No house arrest. Selecting Mr. Black as my attorney was the best thing I've ever done. Don't hesitate to hire him.

The best!

After making a bad decision to drive intoxicated, I made a good decision in hiring Aaron as my attorney. He is extremely professional and is always available to answer any questions. Any calls that were not answered immediately were returned in short order. My BAC was 2.0 and I refused the blood test... which meant an automatic 12 month revolution of my license. Aaron was able to get that suspended and my DUI dropped from a super extreme to a regular DUI saving me thousands in fines and many days of jail time. I cannot say enough about how much having Aaron there to navigate me through this very stressful time helped. If you are looking for the best, Aaron is it!

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!
