"I have had the pleasure of seeing Aed in action, both in preliminary hearings and trials. The DAs regard him as a worthy adversary, a status few criminal defense attorneys can claim. He is fearless in the courtroom, but unfailingly pleasant to be around when not cross-examining a prosecution witness. Aed has ample experience defending the most serious charges, and has gotten clients acquitted in what seemed to be hopeless situations. Nobody can guarantee a particular outcome in a case. You often-times hire the best lawyer you can and pray. Without reservation, I suggest you carefully consider Michael Aed as your next counsel."
