Don't Look Any Further...Hire Aaron Black!

Having never been in trouble with the law before, I found myself to be completely terrified and distraught when I was pulled over and arrested for DUI and consequently charged with an Extreme DUI. At the time I didn’t realize what severe consequences this would bring to me until I went onto the inte...rnet to do some research and found that I would have to serve significant jail time, as well as pay large fines and have an ignition interlock installed on my car for 1 year plus other possible penalties. I immediately made the decision to hire an attorney, so I spent the entire weekend thereafter researching criminal defense/DUI attorney’s online. Luckily through AVVO, I found Aaron Black. I was extremely impressed with all of the positive reviews written about Aaron and not just because of the fact that he had an excellent track record of helping people to get reductions in charges, but because of his positive attitude, his availability and his communication. I would have to say that this was the best possible decision I could have made and I would recommend Aaron to represent anyone who finds themselves in a situation such as I did. Aaron returned my call within five minutes of me first reaching out to him and even offered to meet with me on New Year’s Day. Upon meeting him, he was extremely pleasant and professional. He had information prepared for me and laid out the most likely outcome in my case being very direct and honest. He never once pressured me into hiring him, though I decided to hire him on the spot. From the moment he took my case, he took a huge burden off my shoulders by representing me at all court appearances, as well as my MVD hearing. This was extremely helpful as I never had to take any time off of work until the day of my trial. He remained in constant communication any time there was any news. He responded immediately to texts and emails and never once gave me any false hopes. He recommended I do my alcohol screening well in advance, which helped me to avoid having to get SR22 insurance when I pled guilty at the MVD. I even completed all 36 hours of alcohol classes prior to my trial. Despite Aaron trying to negotiate my charges down to a regular DUI, the prosecutor did not offer me a plea agreement. Aaron recommended we take the case to trial as we did have a defense. He recommended and hired an excellent criminalist to help him make the argument and review all my records. He came to trial thoroughly prepared, having interviewed everyone involved in the case. He was extremely likeable in court to the jury and the judge and his skill in the courtroom far surpassed the prosecutor. He discussed with me all the possible outcomes of the case and together we decided to admit to the lesser charge in order to build credibility. The outcome was that I was found not guilty of Extreme DUI. We still have to go to sentencing, but the likelihood is that I’ll only have to spend one day in tent city rather than 9 unless Aaron is able to negotiate time served since I spent a few hours in the local jail after my arrest. After this, I’ll only have to attend Traffic Survival School, install an interlock for 6 months and begin to move on with my life. If you ever find yourself in this situation, I would strongly recommend you hire Aaron Black as your attorney.

Outstanding Attorney!

Aaron pursued my DUI case aggressively and was able to reduce the charges from an Extreme DUI with an aggravated sentence and home detention to a regular DUI with reduced jail time and fines. During a very trying time Aaron was always responsive to my questions and kept me informed throughout the ca...se. During one of my DUI classes i was speaking to others about there experiences with attorneys and I am convinced that I had the best representation possible. Aaron even contacted me after my jail time just to make sure everything went smoothly. This really impressed me as the case was over. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone in need of an attorney.

Great Lawyer Calm, Honest and very accessible 24 x 7

Aaron did an outstanding job with the defense of my case. From the first time I met with him he was open, honest, sometimes brutal honest laying out the laws, then getting down to the facts of the case. I was facing over a dozen charges ranging from DUI, reckless operations and multiple other misd...emeanors. I met with Aaron the day after I had my accident where he remained calm taking notes through out our session and explaining to me the lengthy process and how he would handle the case for each step of this process. From that point forward, Aaron responded to emails, text messages and phone calls on a 7 x 24 level which was so important to me. While I was on east coast time and he was on PST, I would send an email asking a few question on the case and process and within an hour i had a detailed response regardless of time or day of week!!! He made what was one of the most stress full times of my life bearable. He handled everything throughout the process. I had friends that had a single DUI charge and paid over $20K to lawyers only to get a DUI conviction without a plea or reduced charges. Because of my employment arrangement and need to travel it was critical for me that Aaron handled everything keeping me informed, and even assisting me with my employer writing a letter explaining charges and plea agreement to ensure no issues with my employment. Throughout the case, Aaron always laid out all of the options and possibilities that may be ahead. I wasn't worried because Aaron kept me informed throughout the case. In the end Aaron not only handled everything in a professional well informed manner but he worked endless hours gaining the facts and bringing the charges down to a reckless operation with all other charges being dropped! I cannot say enough about the outcome but even more so the professional manner that Aaron handled the case and kept me informed of all aspects every step of the way and possible outcomes and options.

Top of the class!

Aaron Black is one of the most responsive, knowledgeable and professional attorney I have ever met! Aaron worked and contacted me on week-ends and went above the call on several situations! He represented me and had my case dismissed for a DUI and even fought for me in the MVD Hearing and had my DI ...kept intact! He is well worth the money and I encourage anyone facing the hardship of a DUI case to make sure you have the top lawyer you can find in the state of Arizona, don't even walk into court without Aaron Black being by your side!

Highly Recommend Aaron Black!

My son was arrested for his second DUI in a 6 month period. Was also involved in a car accident with the second DUI. Aaron had handled the first DUI and did an excellent job in getting charges reduced. With the second DUI Aaron was very honest about the severe consequences and walked us through every...thing. My son was looking at a Class 4 felony with up to 2 years of jail and Aaron was able to get a plea deal to reduce it to Class 6 and work furlough for 5 months. Fines were also reduced to half. During this very difficult time Aaron always responded quickly to our emails or calls, 24/7. He was always professional and well prepared for court. Not being familiar with the court system, he walked us through everything. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone who is looking for a very knowledgeable, professional, respectful and personable lawyer. He will work very hard for you!!
