Aaron Got The Case Done For Us

Aaron was incredible. He really got Yan out of a jam when the other side threatened to file for bankruptcy after a long litigation. He explained to them how he was going to make bankruptcy very tough on them - and did so in such a convincing matter that they settled the case, instead. Highly recom...mend.

Amazing Performance Across Many Disciplined

Aaron put together a team of bankruptcy, tax, real estate, and intellectual property lawyers who got us through a huge dispute with a private equity shop. Couldn’t have got it done without him. When it’s all on the line, go with Aaron.

Saved Us From A Bankruptcy Hassle

Loved working with Aaron. He and his team really saved us when a real estate transaction was cratering and leaning towards bankruptcy. They coached us up on strategy and allowed us to restructure the deal in a way that got us the result we wanted without ever having to deal with bankruptcy. These ...are not inexpensive lawyers but they add huge value. Can’t recommend more highly.

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.

Amazing Lawyer

Loved working with Aaron and his associate, AJ. They were responsive, hardworking, and knowledgeable. We needed someone who was really tough and experienced. They extracted us from a giant problem with a financially distressed company that ultimately ended up filing for bankruptcy. Strongly recom...mend them.
