Aaron Joseph Malo

We hired Aaron on a complicated Chapter 11 case with tax issues. Aaron was masterful in guiding us through the bankruptcy process. And just as importantly, he used less expensive associates and a paralegal to help where they could, saving us a LOT of money. AJ and Melanie were great to work with. ... And Aaron was available any time, day or night, midweek or weekend, when we had questions. He got us through a really challenging situation. We are very happy we ended up working with Aaron and his team. Don’t know what we would have done without him.

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.

Hired Aaron because of his outstanding reputation. I was a little worried about costs as he has a high hourly rate. But he staffed our matter efficiently, using a great associate with 20 years of experience and a very low hourly rate. Aaron and Anastasia got us a great result, and achieved it quick...ly for a reasonable price. Would definitely use them again.

Aaron was amazing and a perfect fit for us. We had a complicated matter where a large customer owed us a lot of money and was getting ready to file for bankruptcy. Aaron jumped on the matter, created a great strategy for our case, and basically “bankruptcy-proofed” our deal. When the company filed, w...e were protected and got paid in full. No way we would have gotten that result with anyone else. He was amazing. Wouldn’t use anyone else for a large complicated case like this one.

A former employee put us in an awful deal. Went into default almost immediately. I work at a bank and Sheppard Mullin was not on our approved counsel list. I got an exception to hire Aaron. He crushed, and got us out of this distressed credit almost immediately at par. Beyond the legal, Aaron un...derstood the business aspects of the deal. A joy to work with. And yeah, Sheppard is now on the approved counsel list.
