Exceptional attorney

Attorney Aaron Engle of Aaron Engle Law is an excellent attorney and we highly recommend him. From our first consultation, Aaron was kind, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and showed genuine concern and compassion for us and our complicated situation. It was evident after a long discussion that... Aaron had legal expertise about our insurance matter and years of experience assisting others in similar situations. He provided clear guidance about the anticipated process, gave us excellent legal advice on how best to approach the situation, recommended we retain a highly regarded expert, and answered all of the questions we had. He and his staff were very timely and responsive to our follow-up inquiries/requests. We very much appreciated how available Aaron was throughout the five-month process. The legal demand materials drafted by Aaron were excellent and evidenced an exceptional command of the law and complicated facts. Because of Aaron’s strong advocacy for us through his demand package and the expert’s declaration, our matter was successfully and fully resolved in fairly short order to our complete satisfaction. I would not hesitate to return to Aaron if we needed his services again given his outstanding legal services.

Long Term Care Insurance reinstated

My husband, diagnosed with dementia, inadvertently missed our annual payment to our Long Term Life Insurance policy, which we had faithfully maintained for nearly 25 years. Upon contacting the insurance company with the required form, they informed me that their Board of Directors had denied reins...tating his policy. They stated his only benefit would be the return of what he had paid in. After researching the cost of memory care facilities, I discovered his policy would only cover about nine months of care. Eventually, I was referred to Aaron Engle, who offered guidance on how to proceed. Within a few weeks, Aaron thoroughly reviewed the situation and advised me to formally request all documentation and correspondence, including the Power of Attorney they had requested. Shortly after submitting this request, I received a phone call notifying me that my husband had been reinstated. Without Aaron's expert guidance and precise legal advice on how to word the final request, I doubt we would have succeeded. My experience underscores how strongly I recommend Aaron. When dealing with insurance companies who may try to avoid payouts, it's crucial not to simply accept their initial responses. It's worth pursuing and verifying to ensure they uphold their commitments.

I was privileged to have Aaron Engle by my side when I was in need of a good lawyer.

I cannot recommend my attorney Aaron I Engle highly enough. He embodies decency and discipline, making him not just a remarkable human being but a truly exceptional lawyer. What sets him apart is his honesty; he never provides false hope but instead offers you the truth. From day one, he lays... out a clear timeline, giving you a realistic expectation of the process ahead. One of his most outstanding skill is his ability to listen attentively during conversations, ensuring that he truly understands your concerns and needs. My endorsement of his services isn't based on a single case but on the consistent success he has delivered. I have referred two of my friends to him, and he has emerged victorious in all three cases including mine. His working methods and ethical standards remain unwaveringly high, ensuring a standard of excellence that brings peace of mind to his clients. Having had him by my side, I can attest to the satisfaction and reassurance that comes from having such a competent and reliable attorney in your corner. Thank you Aaron, your commitment to your clients are truly commendable. Getnet Yigzaw.

Compassionate and Dedicated Attorney

When Aaron took me on as his client, I was feeling very hopeless about my situation. I had felt very defeated when I was denied my short-term disability. After one phone call with him I felt very confident that I did have a valid case. His excellent communication skills right from the start put me... at ease. He was patient and took the extra time to explain what the process would be going forward and he was very thorough through the entire time we worked together. He kept me informed at all times as my case progressed. Aaron was a good listener, compassionate and empathetic to my situation, which eased my mind as this case went on. My case was settled remotely and with a positive outcome. I cannot thank him enough for what he did for me. I highly recommend Aaron.

Highly Recommend Aaron Engle

Thank you so much to Attorney Aaron Engle and his team of professionals- they were attentive and detailed in handling my case. Aaron set appropriate expectations which was very important to me since I have no experience in the legal field. I so appreciate all the extra time he took in making sure I ...understood everything and explaining my options, it is so good to know I had someone I could trust when I felt most vulnerable. Amazing attorney to work with!
