Out of State Reduced DUI Charge from Extreme to Regular

Aaron Black did an excellent job negotiating my Extreme DUI case down to a regular DUI. I was visiting Scottsdale from out of state on a business trip when I was arrested and charged with Extreme DUI. Aaron not only was able to reduce the charge but also worked with the prosecutor to manage the ...jail time and home arrest issues. I ultimately was sentenced to three days in Jail (actually spent 40 hours), extreme DUI fines, and no additional home arrest. Going through the process and talking to others while in tent city, I realized that the deal Aaron had negotiated was in fact the best deal. I talked to several individuals with similar experiences and charges that did not get nearly as good of deal. Aaron did a great job listening to my issues and reviewing my case and explaining the alternatives with me. Had I lived Arizona, I would have felt completely comfortable not taking the plea agreement and going to trial with Aaron. My sister is a prosecutor, I reviewed Aaron’s recommendations and advice with her, she agreed with all of Aaron’s assessments and recommendation. It’s difficult to trust a stranger out of state with such an important issue, Aaron did a great job.

The best you could ask for in a bad situation.

So I guess I had to much fun and made a bad decision. Aaron made sure I never felt like a criminal. He always dealt with me personally and effectively. He did the most he could and Drastically reduced my DUI sentence. I felt like everyone else was against me... the judge...the cops...but it was OK c...ause I had Aaron. I felt that he was always available even when I knew my questions where monotonous. Hiring Aaron was the best decision I made.

A+ Attorney

Aaron is very knowledged on the law's regarding DUI offenses. He was always available whether for office visits or by telephone. Aaron did everything he could for me and got me the best results possible for my case. He was able to work with the court to accommodate my schedule and allow me to work t...hrough the whole process. I highly reccommend Aaron Black. Thanks Aaron. Kevin

Didn't think Aaron could possibly live up to these review - but he did!

I think its pretty uncommon to find the same thing being said about one person if it wasn't true. Everyone seems to agree that Mr. Black is the attorney you should use, and I agree completely. Arizona laws are very strict and I like most folks on this site was stopped and was charged with DUI... (1st Time Misdemeanor). I blew a .12 and my BAC was .149 according to my blood test. Not much I could do, and Aaron advised me as such. He told me to complete my classes and what to do before our court case to look the best to the court. I plead guilty and was given credit for my night in jail as time served and he suspended the other 9 days. All in all, not a bad experience. Like everyone has mentioned, Aaron personally gets back to you immediately. He follows up relentlessly, and reminds you of anything that you may have to do or comply with. He knew everyone in court and seems well liked by everyone, even the judge. You don't need to hire a brutally expensive lawyer when you can get the best for a reasonable price. Hire him!

Outstanding Professional and Amazing Lawyer

I was arrested for DUI and had a BAC .180, an extreme DUI. The next day I went looking for a lawyer and ran across Aaron Black. I gave several lawyers a call and some didn’t respond until Monday, some didn’t respond at all and some had a secretary, paralegal or law aid called me back but within an h...our of calling on a Saturday, Aaron himself called me back. And that Monday I meet with him and spoke about my case, he put me at ease with his incredible knowledge and experience of DUI cases and he was easy to talk to and didn’t judge. He gave me advice on what to do before I even hired him. Aaron was able to work out a payment plan with me because I didn’t have the money up front. He always kept me informed and up to date with what was happening with my case, even answering questions in the evening and on weekends. We also did everything through the phone, text messaging and email. I never felt pressured to do anything and he never made outlandish promises, he was straight forward and honest with everything and even was a great help dealing with the MVD. I thought it was going to be a slam dunk extreme DUI case, but Aaron was able to find mistakes that the officer made when arresting me as well as problems with the blood work. He went to bat for me and made my best interest his number one priority. He was able to talk the charges down to a DUI impaired to the slightest, which meant instead of 30 days in tent city I only had to do 4, and all the fines were split in half and even got the jail fines reduced to zero. It is still a DUI and that sucks but it could have been much worse than it was but because of Aaron’s attention to detail and hard work I was able to avoid a lengthy jail term and just about double the fines. Even now after I’m done with the courts Aaron is still working with me to help with the MVD and getting my life back on track. Thank GOD for people like Aaron, I will be recommending him to anyone who has legal troubles especially DUI charges.
