Waste of time and money

This attorney was brought in by another lawyer at SM law firm who was much more attentive and knowledgeable. He produced no real work product. He just listened in on conversations and occasionally agreed with us or opined on various litigation strategies. He had an arrogant attitude and recorded ri...diculous hours.

Absolute Expert on Bankruptcy Litigation

We hired Aaron to handle a complex commercial litigation matter because we knew it could end up in bankruptcy. I’m sure glad we did. The other side took us from district court to bankruptcy court to the bankruptcy appellate panel to the ninth circuit. But Aaron and his team stayed with us and on t...op of things throughout the whole mess. Amazingly responsive and a creative thinker, Aaron got us to an outstanding result. We could not have done it without him. The guy is amazing. Highly recommend.

Took My Case Pro Bono!

I met with Aaron because I was being sued by a big company and didn’t know how to deal with it. The Public Law Center sent me to him - he was the president and they said he would help. Aaron was amazing and handled my case all the way through the end, for free. Even though I couldn’t pay he always... treated me with respect, returned my calls, responded to my emails, etc. Aaron stood up for me when I really needed someone. He made the case against me go away. I will always be in his debt. The guy is the best.

Loved Working With Aaron Malo And Sheppard Mullin

I work at a large financial institution and regularly hire bankruptcy lawyers like Aaron. This guy is probably the best I've worked with. Smart, always available, hard working, and actually pretty reasonably priced for a big firm lawyer with his experience level. Another in-house lawyer referred m...e to him and I'm sure glad he did. Aaron and his associate did an amazing job on a really tough case for me. Got us paid off in full on a credit that was massively under water. I will definitely use him again on other matters.
