Michael Aaron

I truly wish I had seen this before I hired him. I hired him an a complex litigation with my ex-husband. I was trying to collect on a near $200k Judgment from our 2017 divorce. My original attorney retired, and I hired Mr. Aaron. From Jan. to June he filed three pleadings, all three had the wrong... information and figures. He filed my pretrial statement on the disclosure deadline after having 6 months to prepare for it. Again, it had everything wrong that the RMS statement had in Ja., plus did not provide the court with the documented evidence I provided him. On top of that he filed it with out my review. He then submitted another incorrect Amended Pretrial statement. Right after he sent me my very first invoice for over $14k, on top of the $7,500 I already paid him. When I questioned him about this “padded”, in-earned bill, he quit. 5 weeks to trial, I could not find another attorney that could prepare for my case in that short of time. My motion to continue was denied. We had already had two , Mr. Aaron caused one of them. I was forced to go to trial , by myself, against an extremely aggressive attorney and a bias judge who had decided the case before we arrived. He went “off the record”, and wiped out my ex-husband’s Judgment , affirmed by another Judges ruling, twice. He gave no legal reasons for it, then denied my Motion for Reconsideration and request for trial that was suppose to take place that day. I walked out with $20k because I had to attorney to protect my rights! I filed a claim with the American Bar Assoc. Against Mr. Aaron and we had an Arbitration hearing. I won, and he was forced to refund most of my retainer fee. Since he agreed to arbitration, it does not go ion record for the public to see. So, that is why I am sharing my experience here. Do not hire this person!

Not once was Michael Aaron neutral or a mediator for myself n X husband (he was hired for mediation expertise & guidance) -the entire duration he was on my x husband side - I never once sat down with either of them prior, except for in court. I ended up in court with no llegal representation n misr...epresentation n got stiffed. This experience has infuriated and intimidated me Ive been misguided by the system. Some serious important issues got over looked. I couldnt afford my own attorny either & our low cost llegal system just shuffled me around & under the rug, exhausted & depressed I gave up. Without spousal support nor child support, which I hve yet to ever receive, life has been difficult. I hve had joint custody monetary burdens n expectations put on me as if I was in the same financial situtation as my x husband which has never been the case frm day 1 - will I ever see justice? Very, uncertain... Almost, homeless over a year later Michael Aaron did not uphold his agreement in part - monies owed to me did not come on time, it was over a years past due & not in full. How can this be?. I would never recommend this lawyer with my life.
