Posted by anonymous | January 30, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Aaron Was Great With Us

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.

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.

Fabulous Bankruptcy Litigator

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.

Typical Big Firm Lawyer

Although Aaron is generally personable and knows his subject of real estate and BK (most likely), he tended to operate like his clients have elastic resources. We cannot say that he was not accessible, but the billing was higher than expected, and the work product from his team was average at 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.
