Amazing Criminal Defense Attorney

Choosing a criminal defense attorney can be a stressful and difficult decision to make in the first place. Most likely if you're coming across this page, you're probably researching many other options and hoping that you're choosing the right person that can help you. I've decided to go with Aaron Sp...olin a few weeks ago, realizing if I want to have a higher chance to get my charge lowered, or dismissed- I would need to hire an attorney beforehand rather than requesting one on the day of. I've had consultations with many, but I'm glad I went with Aaron. Reason being is that compared to the others that I have met with, he was the only one that was extremely patient and calm with listening to my situation. He took his time with me and didn't make me feel as if I had to rush myself out. Moreover, Aaron made me feel comfortable and explained some of the steps of the legal process. Sometimes, attorneys will explain things and you won't quite understand some of the legal terms that attorneys will use, and it can get intimidating at times. But not with Aaron, Aaron will explain things in the simplest ways to make you feel at ease. I had a felony case, and I was hoping to get it lowered to at least a misdemeanor, and bigger hopes of getting it dismissed. Aaron did just that. On the day of court, Aaron gave me news that they have declined to prosecute and I couldn't have been more grateful and fortunate to have him as my attorney. No more getting into the law on my end, but if I were to need one again for whatever reason, or recommend a criminal defense attorney to any of my friends, I would say to get representation from Aaron Spolin.

Professional & On Target

Aaron was very professional from the beginning, and continued to be diligent, courteous, and helpful throughout the process. He was responsive in timely manner to both email and phone communications and did an excellent job working with the Prosecutor for my case. I highly recommend him.

Very Positive Experience. Very Positive Result.

A big thank you to Spolin Law for all your help! The lead attorney is an amazing lawyer. He also was respectful in his interactions with me, including returning phone calls, answering my various questions, and guiding me through how the process works. I was lucky because Mr. Spolin came up with a... number of arguments and legal points that I don't think many other lawyers would have thought of. Thank you for the great job!

Knows his stuff, for sure!!

I totallly recommend Aaron and his law practice, Spolin Law. His past experience as a Assistant DA has helped him understand how the whole criminal process works, which is important since it's really confusing and overwhelming. Aaron is calm and reassuring, The counsel he gave me not only put me at... ease, but also was spot-on and incredibly helpful. It's hard to find an experienced, kind and dedicated lawyer out there, so I was super happy with Aaron and his work.
