Aaron Michael Black is a phenomenal attorney...Hire Him!

Prior to seeing Aaron Michael Black, I had been arrested and cited for a DUI. This offense would have been my second offense within almost five years. This offence would have jeopardized my job as well as my relationship with family. I was devastated, because I knew I made a stupid decision. I... had interviewed a few attorneys and did not feel comfortable with two of the three as one was very inexperienced; while the other Attorney was a bait and switch (note: when you hire Aaron Michael Black, you get Aaron and not some other attorney without being notified). The third Attorney I met with was Aaron and he had my attention from day one. Aaron did not try to sugarcoat my situation; he told me what I needed to hear and not what I wanted to hear. He really made me fell like he cared and told me what family would tell me. He also explained the process as well as the laws to me thoroughly. To prepare me he gave me an information packet on who to contact for courses, screenings and etc. He also answered all of my questions and did not rush me (all of this before I even hired him). Aaron did not pressure me and made me feel extremely comfortable...I knew from then that I had found a great Attorney and I had to hire him. When I called him back and asked him if he could represent me, he got to work immediately. Aaron answers every call, text or email promptly. I was extremely impressed by his professionalism, different methods of contact and how quick he followed up with me whenever I reached out to him. He is upfront and honest about everything; he kept me up to date on the process and followed up with the courts and MVD. Aaron represented me at both of my hearings and called me whenever he obtained any information on my case. My cases ended up being dismissed, and I owe it all to the hard work of Aaron Michael Black. If you are looking for a great Attorney, who cares about his clients please contact Aaron. He is amazing. I rave to colleagues how great of a well rounded job Michael has done. I am extremely impressed.

Hire him!

I was charged with a misdemeanor DUI in March 2013. After several meetings in court, waiting 7 months for BAC results, and the police officer not showing for the MVD hearing, my case was dismissed. But only temporarily. 10 days before the 1 year anniversary that would have let me off the hook entirel...y, they "found" my blood results and the case was reopened. Lucky me. Fortunately, I still had Aaron Black as my attorney. He answered all the questions I'd had a year before, again, as we started from scratch and my fears renewed. The judge was lenient and did not give me any additional jail time beyond the 2 hours I had served the night of the arrest, but Aaron was ready to argue on my behalf to try to get minimal jail time. After my final court hearing I was still reeling and felt overwhelmed with all I still had to do. Aaron was still there, even after that final court hearing, providing an itemized list to keep me on track. And then, as the letters of all the penalty requirements poured in, I was shocked to learn I'd received 46 hours of alcohol classes, which seemed rediculous for a first offense. I contacted Aaron and he agreed. He immediately contacted the the screening company on my behalf, and got them to correct a mistake they had made. In the end, I received only the minimum penalties. I don't know how anyone can navigate this confusing and terrifying process without the help of a great attorney, and I was lucky enough to choose one. I'd highly recommend Aaron to anyone going through this! He was available anytime to answer my questions, quick to respond, and aggressive in his pursuit for any information that would improve your chances of a successful outcome.

From super extreme DUI to a regular DUI. This guy is the best!

Aaron Black is the best attorney! I am so thankful having him on my side! Reduced from super extremely DUI to a regular DUI. I don't think there are many attorneys would be able to do what Aaron does. Before I found Aaron, I went to few other attorneys. After some discussions with them, I decided... to keep looking. I was trying to find the best one. The day I met Aaron, I knew he is the attorney I have been looking for and I fully trust this guy since day one. My blood test is 0.23% as a super extreme DUI, me and Aaron both know how hard this case would be. He worked very hard on my case even though he had probably 50 other cases to handle at that time. He always being very patient and reply every single question from me so clearly. I am not a U.S citizen and not a native English speaker, Aaron always trying his best to make sure I understand everything. He has been extremely friendly to me and I feel that he actually cares about his clients After the first trial, Aaron helped me to reduce the level from super extreme to regular extreme. I was already happy and I think most people would go with this result. But Aaron wanted to keep fighting my case and see if we can get a better deal. I thought it would be impossible but if my attorney wants to give a try, why not! After few weeks, Aaron told me he got it down to a regular DUI. I didn't believe my ears and I never thought I can get this result! Aaron Black did it! He saved me thousands of dollars and minimized jail time, interlocker device time and a lot more! Trust me, Aaron is the best attorney. He will be thankful if you have Aaron on your side. I would definitely recommend him to everyone!!! Thanks again Aaron, you are my hero!

Your Search is Over

If you are in need of DUI/ Criminal defense attorney, your search is over. Having dealt with two other attorneys prior to hiring Aaron Black, I can tell you he is excellent. He handled two separate cases for my son and was able to get the most serious charge reduced significantly. Calls, E-mails, ...or messages were always responded to, usually within a few hours, which was a nice surprise. It is unusual to find an attorney that can give you excellent legal advise, fight for you, and give you such personalized service. Worth every penny.

Outstanding, informative, accessible, knowledgable, hard working attorney. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

I was recently charged with a public intoxication and pubic nuisance and was new to Arizona and had no idea which attorney to try and work with. Aaron was the first name I came across (due to his outstanding ratings and reviews) and I was more then just satisfied. Aaron was amazing to work with and a...lways made sure I was comfortable and completely informed on everything that was going on. He always responded very quickly no matter what hour of the day whether it was through phone, text or email he was very accessible and that was a great trait. Aaron always consistently followed up with me throughout the process to make sure everything was OK. We ended up getting diversion, which ultimately could have saved my career and I cannot thank Aaron and his hard work enough. He made the process as smooth as it possibly could and made sure I was aware of EVERYTHING. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone seeking an attorney, he is extremely professional, readily accessible and is honest and hard working. He always kept it real and never made me seem worst or lower as a person and I cannot thank him enough for this.
