Great Lawyer

I was charged with an Extreme DUI several months back. All of the court dates, classes, MVD requirements, along with everything else seemed overwhelming at first. Luckily, I found Aaron Black online. He advised me through the entire process. He went to all my initial court appearances for me (you are... welcome to go with him if you'd like though). This was good for me because it meant I didn't need to miss work or school to attend. He answered all my questions very promptly, whether it was through email or phone. And he was always very straight forward with his answers. Not trying to sugar coat anything. He explained the risks if I chose to take it to trial. And asked what would be an acceptable plea deal for me if I decided to take one. For me, it was most important to get the lowest possible charge I could and I told Aaron this. And that is exactly what he focused on. He got the Extreme DUI knocked down to a regular DUI (impaired to the slightest degree). He also got my jail time reduced by half. With an extreme DUI you have to do a minimum of 30 days, but he got that down to 15 days, with all but the first 24 hour period, either on work release or home detention, so I was still able to go to school and work without any interruption to my schedule. The plea he negotiated also saved me at least 1500 dollars in overall fees. I would highly recommend Aaron Black to anyone who recently received a DUI. He definitely gave me some peace of mind during the very stressful process. And more importantly, he got the charges and jail time reduced significantly. Thanks again Aaron.

Super Extreme down to normal DUI

I found Aaron on this website after being charged with Super Extreme DUI. Needless to say I was in a very bad position to start out with. After reading the reviews here I called Aaron and set up a meeting. Right from the start I knew he was going to be able to help me through this ordeal. Having a p...revious DUI from 1999 I was expecting the worse . Aaron reviewed the facts and did his research, even when the arresting Officer would not provide needed documents and interviews . Aaron keep pushing for justice and fair treatment . My work is done mainly outside of the USA and when in a situation like this you can not leave the state. Aaron helped me obtain a condition to my release that allowed me to travel and continue working through this most difficult time in my life. He also prepared me for the realty of what was ahead and did not promise anything that might or might not occur. Once the State has you in the system it can be a long drawn out process. Mine became a long drawn out process with me heading home from 12 time zones away to make court dates. Aaron was there with me every time in a cheerful and positive mood. Ready to help with a legal issues came along and they did . They were taken care asap and correctly. Aaron uses modern tech tools to stay in touch. Email , text , smart phone so I was able to have contact when half way around the world. He will keep you updated with your case and help you finish up the MVD headaches that are sure to follow. This aspect is as important as all the court stuff. In the end, I was treated fairly by the courts . Excellent by Aaron during my case. Went from a Super Extreme down to normal DUI . This saved me time, money , headache and worries. If you find your self in a similar situation , don't waste time and money paying big DUI advertising firms . Call Aaron and let him help you retain your dignity and energy in a situation that can be the biggest heartache of your life. My first attorney was good, Aaron was great.

Why choose Aaron Black? I'll tell you why I did

I was pulled over for a DUI in September of 2013, having never been in trouble with anyone besides my parents I was overwhelmed. In addition to being freaked out about being arrested for the first time I am also a nurse and was extremely worried about the ramifications a DUI arrest could have on my l...icense. Initially I spoke with friends who have experienced similar circumstances and received all types of advice hire an attorney, don't hire an attorney, just take the public defender..... Well I decided I needed an attorney to guide me through this most difficult process, only problem was I didn't know any attorneys. So I did some research and read some reviews, I even contacted a few. After speaking with the first few attorneys I spoke with Aaron, his office is close to my house so he suggested I come meet with him that afternoon. My court date was rapidly approaching, as was my deadline to report myself to the Board of Nursing, I was feeling very overwhelmed obviously! Well after that initial meeting with Aaron I realized that, while my situation was obviously one I would like to avoid in the future, everything was going to be alright. He certainly never made any promises in regard to how my case would end up being resolved but he did promise to be there every step of the way, to answer all my questions, to walk me through the necessary steps to fulfill any obligations that I would be required to complete, and to fight for the best possible outcome for my case. Well I can say he delivered on all those promises! Not once did I have to figure anything out on my own, nor did I have a question that went unanswered, or waited for one of my many questions to be answered in a timely manner (even during holidays). Simply put when Aaron is defending you during this horrible time you feel at ease. Besides being a phenomenal criminal attorney he was also able to represent me at the Board of Nursing which the other attorneys I interviewed weren't able or willing to do. I am very pleased with the outcome Aaron was able to negotiate for me and would recommend him to anyone in need of representation. Thanks Aaron

Excellent Lawyer

Got pulled over for a DUI and I am from out of state. It was the scariest thing to ever happen in my life but Aaron made me feel like everything would be ok. I felt like he was supportive and by my side the entire process. He was able to reduce my fines and fees to a reckless driving with no jail ...time and I did not have to fly back to AZ for any court appearances - achieving the best outcome with my case. I am very grateful that Aaron is a lawyer that truly cares about his clients. He answered all my questions and kept me up to date. I felt like with Aaron as my lawyer I was able to put my case behind me without worry or stress. I fully recommend him.

CHARGED WITH DUI, PLEAD DOWN TO RECKLESS WITH NO JAIL, NO JAIL, NO JAIL!

Aaron Black is without question a top notch DUI lawyer. I have never been in trouble with the law and this was was a big mistake, on my part, for my first offense. My first visit with Aaron I was panicked and could only see doom and gloom in my future. Faced with a DUI arrest on my record and poten...tial complication with my professional license, I wasn't sure what my future held for me. After my initial consultation with Aaron I felt confident that I had 100% hired the right attorney for my needs. Honest, timely and his desire to pay attention to detail was key in my decision to hire him. My decision paid dividends as Aaron got to work and I eventually had my DUI reduced to a conforming reckless driving charge. But please keep reading….. Aaron was always available for me from the beginning of my case until we met in court for my plea acceptance. He made sure I received copies of all documentation and even set up a date with the prosecution to review the officers dash cam video with me so I could see what happened that night. Because of Aaron's professionalism, attention to detail and desire to be the best at what he does my plea deal included MINIMAL FINES, NO ALCOHOL CLASSES AND NO JAIL TIME!!!! Make sure you read that twice!! This is what hiring Aaron Black could potentially do for you. Don't delay and get the confidence that you need from an A+ DUI attorney. Thanks Aaron for helping me get past this and moving forward with my life.
