Oustanding Attorney! Great Service! Highly Reccomend!

Caroline's help and service was invaluable in helping me with my DUI case. She truly cared about the outcome and her preparation and diligence was obvious. Caroline's demeanor and personality helped me feel at ease throughout the process especially during the trial. While at trial I actually heard... other attorney's describe Caroline as the "jury whisperer". I couldn't imagine having the outcome (not guilty) with any other attorney. I recommend without reservation the quality service that Caroline provides, she is a fantastic attorney and great person that is easy to deal with, communicative and efficient.

Smart, quick witted, fierce and articulate Ms. Aeed is a valuable asset on your side

Ms. Aeed acted as a consultant on my highly contentious divorce due to the criminal issues raised. Her memory of information, attention to detail and knowledge of fraud and misappropriation of funds assisted in my case. Not only was she a pleasure to work with but her incredible tact and "let's get t...his done now" resulted in saving me hundreds of dollars. My case would not have resulted in the same favor without her. She is personable but tough. She can be sweet when needed and non negotiable when it comes to fighting for her clients. My case dragged on for two years and not once did she forget a detail (and I forgot many) or key fact that was instrumental in my case. She told me what to do and how to do it and I'm grateful as I could have lost so much more money without her- not to mention my life energy and time running in circles. I've come to know her as a woman of honesty, spirit and champion of the underdog. You want her on your team!

Best DUI Defense Attorney in the city of Phoenix - Really!!!

When I was first charged with a DUI I was surprised and confused. I hadn't broken any laws - traffic or otherwise and I had only 2 drinks with dinner and that was almost 3 hours before I was stopped. Besides that there was conflicting evidence and conflicting police testimony. In my mind there was... no way the prosecutor could win. WOW, WAS I WRONG! The persecutor it turns out had little interest in the facts or finding the truth. More on that later. I hired another attorney before I met Caroline. But I just wasn't comfortable with him. I had just had a bad experience with some other attorneys and I decided that this time I would trust my gut and find an attorney that was sincerely interested in my case and well prepared to defend me. Once I spoke with Caroline about her experience with DUI, her win rate, her knowledge of the law, and the people involved in the process (Cops, judges prosecutors ) I was assured that she knew her business. Her faith in me as a victim of overzealous cops rather than a DUI "perp" was also very reassuring. This, in spite of a near 90% conviction rate on the part of Phoenix in DUI cases (suspiciously high I might add). Without boring you with the details of the case I can say that Caroline fought for me every step of the way. It was her legal knowledge and experience, actions and professionalism that turned mistakes by the prosecutors side into a win for us - much like how the defense on a football team forces a fumble. Anyone who knows football knows how aggressive and knowledgeable the defense must be to force a fumble. That is the best analogy I can give to describe how Caroline got the charges dismissed in pretrial hearings. I trusted her, she trusted me and together we prevented an injustice. Some say I was lucky. Yes, I was lucky to find Caroline.
