Aaron Bortel's leadership

Aaron was recommended to me and my wife by a business partner and though my expectations were high, Aaron's ability to build trust, gain my admiration and prove his worth through focus, determination and success exceeded those expectations by an incalculable amount. His ability to listen, be sensitiv...e, and provide clear and appropriate advice was appreciated more than I could ever express. I consider myself a good judge of character and without a doubt we have gained something from Aaron passing through our lives that you could otherwise not purchase on purpose. One day if chaos ever meets Main Street, I will have one eye open for Aaron to partner with in problem solving.

Great DUI attorney

Aaron was very knowledgeable with the DUI process and took care of anything for me. He attended courts, sent me appropriate documentation, and was very responsive to any questions that I had. I had great results and would recommend him to anyone who got a borderline DUI.

Hope I never need him again...but he's staying in my phonebook just in case.

When I was arrested for my DUI, the first thing I did when I got home was to start calling lawyers specializing in DUI cases. Of the offices I called, a couple mentioned Aaron in passing becuase he had recently won a particularly difficult case with the city of San Francisco. After hearing this, I ...called Aaron back and set up an appointment. Aaron was very knowledgeable and personable. He put a lot of my fears and ease and talked my through a lot of my angst over what the process was, what I could expect and what I should do. He walked me through the best and worst case scenarios as well some more likely scenarios (neither best or worst case). He seemed especially knowledgable on the science side of things (toxicology, blood work, etc). Aaron was a busy guy throughout the case but was always prompt to respond to emails. In the end, Aaron won my criminal case and my DMV hearing. I hope I don't need him again....but he will stay in my phonebook, just in case.
